An extremely unstable airmass is sitting on top of the state today leading to the storm prediction center Issuing a slight risk of severe weather for northern parts of the state. A quick look at This Morning sounding data shows CAPE (Convective Available Potential Energy) hitting 4000 in some areas! Generally a number CAPE of 1500 or more is indicative of the potential for thunderstorm development. The number 4000 is a Generally CAPE Associated with large destructive tornadoes Also if other elements are within limits.
Thankfully Those other limits are not close to being hit today so we are not expecting a big twister outbreak. Also of note is the fact That the state is not seeing any type of cap (a term used by us When talking acerca a stable area in the atmosphere) THROUGHOUT the day today, keeping storms in check. Storms unencumbered by any type of resistance Should Develop early as soon as energy Becomes available. This means Generally Themselves They will burn out relativamente quickly.
That being said we are under a slight risk of severe weather today. Gusty winds will be the main concern today followed by hail. Generally large CAPE values are not conducive to large hail instability development due to being so high That hail stones aren't juggled up and down in the hail growth region. The storm is too strong and literally sends hail out of the storm before it has a chance to Become large.
We Will Have Another chance to hit 90 degrees again today. Indianapolis did not hit 90 yesterday but a number of other communities including Muncie did make it there. Indianapolis hit 88 °, que is the high for the year so far for the city. For the rest of the week Will Remain temperatures in the upper 80s to 90 degrees Perhaps. Our Will Remain unsettled weather as we will continue to have a weak boundary stalled around Along with plenty of heat and humidity. Next work week we will see some relief from the sticky conditions of the past week as dew points will dip from the upper 60s to today we will see a more reasonable low 60s. Have a good day and stay safe out there.
