Showers and thunderstorms will gradually diminish this evening as a weakening area of low pressure moves east of Indiana. Skies are expected to slowly clear overnight as high pressure builds in, but lingering moisture may allow areas of fog to develop late tonight into early Thursday morning, with locally dense fog possible in spots.

After a warm day Thursday with highs in the low 80s, a stretch of mainly dry and quieter weather is expected from Thursday night through Saturday. High pressure and an upper-level ridge will keep conditions largely rain-free, with temperatures settling closer to seasonal levels by Friday and Saturday, generally in the mid to upper 70s.

OH, a bit of earth space science

Ever look up and wonder what the types of clouds are? Our Cloud Identification Guide helps you spot some of the most common cloud types and what they can hint about the weather ahead. From thin, wispy cirrus clouds that often signal fair weather to towering cumulonimbus clouds that can mean thunderstorms are on the way, the sky is constantly giving us clues.

Next time you’re outside, take a moment to look up and see what you can identify. Learning cloud types is a fun way to better understand the atmosphere and can even help you get a heads up on changing weather conditions across Indiana!

During the two weeks before a full Moon, (so, right now!) seeds absorb more water. That's the theory behind Planting by the Moon, anyway! Plant your above-ground crops and annual flowers this week to see if it makes a difference 🌱🌓

Here's the science behind the theory: Moisture is increasingly drawn to the soil's surface during the period when the Moon is waxing, causing seeds to swell, promoting stronger germination and better-established plants.

Throughout history, people have planted according to the Moon’s phases—from the Ancient Egyptians to the Romans. Pliny the Elder, a Roman historian, wrote about the Moon’s influence on agriculture. Even in completely different regions like China and Africa, the Moon’s cycles were considered in planting practices 🌕️🌾
