It rained at my house this morning for the first time since August 17. The 0.52" of rain we picked up was the most since the 2.2" (😱) we got on August 5. #INwx

Was today the last 90°F day of the year in Lafayette? Probably, but you can never trust #INwx

It's October nap weather in August. #INwx

With the caveat that my home weather station tends to run a few degrees above the #KLAF ASOS 3 miles away, the dew point is above 80°F right now and that's really unfortunate. #INwx

It won't get cool enough tonight to open the windows. It's now officially bullshit #INwx

After ~1" of rain and some half-inch hail, the temperature at my house is the lowest it has been since midnight. #INwx

Severe thunderstorm warning until 3:30pm for #Tippecanoe county including #Purdue. 60mph wind gusts and quarter-sized hail possible. #INwx

84/72 with an AQI of 158. Barf. #INwx

O & WATS THIS

A DERECHO (A BOWED LINE OF V INTENSE THUNDERBLOBS) BLASTING ITS WAY THRU ILLINOIS & INDIANA

THE HIGHEST WIND GUST RECORDED IN THIS DERECHO WAS 90 MPH

#DERECHO #WEATHER #ILWX #INWX

Oh yeah, that's some good thunder. #INwx

We just received measurable precipitation! The 0.01" was 0.01" more than we had in weeks! #INwx

I've had no measurable precipitation at my house since 19 May. This shower taunts me. #INwx

Today we hit 90°F at my house for the first time since September 21. #INwx

We hit 80.8°F at my house today. That's the first time we've been above 80°F since September 21. Interestingly, the *average* temperature that day was above 80°F, which goes to show how quickly autumn arrived last year. #INwx

@funnelfiasco My current thinking is that we won't see much around here today. The atmosphere will be too capped. But early morning tomorrow the severe threat for west-central Indiana will increase and the peak concern will be roughly 7am through noon.

Of course this can change as things evolve today and as I have a chance to look more closely at models. I'd still recommend having your medicines, important documents, blankets, etc pre-staged in your shelter before you go to bed tonight.
