It's not unusual to be in the 70s for November, but the 80s are almost unheard of! In fact, it's been so warm that we've broken temperature records the past two days! The old records, both from 1999, have been surpassed as temperatures reached above 80 degrees both Sunday and Monday.
Today's high temperature of 73 degrees tied the record high temperature, which was set back in 1975 and in 2008! Compared to this time last year, we were 20 degrees warmer today! It has been unseasonably warm lately, and this trend will continue throughout the weekend and into early next week.

Most of Eastern Central Indiana is under a marginal risk for severe weather. A higher, slight risk of severe weather includes Jay, Randolph, and Wayne counties. The main hazards associated with this weather system include gusty winds, locally heavy rain, and small hail. While the threat of a tornado is low, it cannot be ruled out as a possibility. Make sure to stay weather aware today, as the threat for severe weather exists throughout most of Indiana.
As of 7pm EDT, Hurricane Delta has made landfall in Creole, Louisiana as a category 2 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 100 mph. This is the same region that was devastated (and is still recovering) from Hurricane Laura just 6 weeks ago. Storm surge of 10ft+ in coastal regions, as well as flash flooding and hurricane-force wind gusts continue to be the main concerns associated with Delta. As it makes its way inward, Delta will continue to produce widespread rain and storms throughout the south. Portions of Texas and most of Louisiana have already seen heavy rainfall associated with Delta throughout the day today, however, total amounts could end up between 6-10 inches. Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee could also see rainfall totals of up to 4 inches as the system continues to move northeastward.
