- TRACKING FRANCINE & IMPACTS TO CENTRAL INDIANA
Our dry stretch continues. Sunny skies again this afternoon.
With the humidity so low, the air will heat quickly. Temperatures will eventually top out in the middle to upper 80s across the state.
HELLO FRANCINE
Hurricane Francine is projected to move northeast and make landfall in Louisiana as a category 1 hurricane.
Medium and long range computer models are very consistent in the forecast path of Francine. The tight consensus is for the low to move up the Mississippi River, through Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, and eventually reaching Missouri, southern Illinois, and western Kentucky by Friday.
It will bring rain and gusty winds as it moves north through the lower Mississippi River Valley.
The best chance for rain in Indiana, from Francine, arrives Friday. Rain showers become more scattered Saturday.
Computer models suggest a sharp gradient in rainfall over Indiana. Meaning, the amounts will be greatest in southern Indiana and decrease as you move north.
This will be something we monitor as we go through the next couple of days. You will want to stay tuned to the latest forecast if you have outdoor plans Friday through Sunday.
