A warming trend starts today. The warmth peaks on Tuesday ending March with highs around 25° ABOVE normal. More upper 70s to near 80° possible. Much like we've been used to, the warmth comes to an end with a cold front and showers/storms. Coverage increases late Tuesday. #INwx

We'll be warming quite nicely back to above-normal territory with highs in the mid-to-low 60s. More clouds will be in the sky compared to yesterday but an overall nice day is ahead. The warmth will be aided by breezy southwest winds today, too. #INwx @FOX59

Welcome to the final Sunday of March! Nice sunrise a low cloud deck present in our skies this morning. A bit chilly but not as cold compared to yesterday. We'll warm up starting today and turn the wind machine back on, too. #INwx @FOX59

Another warming trend begins Sunday. The warmth PEAKS Tuesday with more highs in the upper 70s/near 80°. This will be the environment set up ahead of our next storm chances which go into Wednesday. More rain chances exist for April's opening days next week. #INwx @FOX59

High pressure in control keeps clouds away forthe Midwest! Expect sunshine Saturday with seasonably cooler highs around 50°. Warming conditions return Sunday with highs in the 60s. It'll be breezy with increasing clouds. Not bad for the final weekend of March! #INwx @FOX59

I can't imagine I am the only one really missing the 80°+ heat we had in central Indiana yesterday. Heading into tonight, our temperatures are around 40° COLDER than 24 hours ago. Luckily, we're getting some late-day sun! #INwx @FOX59

CHECK THIS OUT: Here's a video of the strong thunderstorm moving through Tipton County this evening. These are outflow winds here with a lot of DUST being kicked up. That's why the visibility levels were quickly reduced here. Courtesy: Don Hovey #INwx @FOX59

Another RECORD-BREAKING warm day here in central Indiana. Indy's high of 82° is the second day in the 80s this year, the most to-date since 2012. 82° is more typical of mid-June in central Indiana. #INwx @FOX59
