What a turnaround in the weather pattern across central Indiana! Highs today in the lower 60s are right around normal for this time of the year. But the numbers in that territory are nearly 20° above where our temperatures have sat for the last two days. We have a wide temperature spread Thursday evening between our northern and southern counties. Plenty of sunshine Thursday but a few thundershowers are roaming south. Many of these cells have prompted Severe Thunderstorm Warnings.
