Happy Saturday, Hoosiers, and welcome to Virgo Season!
(Consider it your sign to organize your closet, get your life together, and maybe alphabetize your wine rack while you’re at it.)
No severe weather. No drama. No heat advisories.
BUT - because Mother Nature always has a but - lake effect has officially re-entered the chat.
Now before you clutch your pearls, relax. No snow (at least not yet, anyway.) Instead, it'll be lake effect RAIN giving northern Indiana a little "preview party" before winter struts in. Some of you may see it as a threatening war dance, but we're going to try to be positive and thankful for the rain and not think about snow at the moment, mkay?
Besides... Highs will only flirt with the upper 70s today before sliding down into the upper 50s tonight - picture perfect “shut the AC off and crack a window” weather. Tomorrow? Hoodie season officially dry launches, with highs struggling into the mid-to-upper 60s. Yes, you read that right. Sixties. Even better yet? Your bank account will stop trying to have you tried for war crimes because your electric bill will be waaaaay more civilized. For now.
Meanwhile, central and southern Indiana are just… Doing their thing. A few clouds here, a little less there, and highs in the 80s. It's basically a decent day to live your best life. Evansville, specifically... You’re looking suspiciously good today. We don’t trust it. What’s your angle, Evansville?
So, lean into this glorious Fall preview and enjoy this well-earned breather from brutal heat, because word on the street is summer’s grip is loosening. Will September sneak some heat back? Possibly. But right now? We’re vibing with pumpkin-scented candles, the promise of apple cider and spiced teas, and glorious hoodie snuggles.
Speaking of which… We wanna know what your weekend plans are or if you have a go-to hoodie? Or maybe you've spotted a dangerously tempting one in a store lately! Drop a pic, share with the class, and let’s make this weekend officially cozy.
Oh... And before we sign off... We're going to have a quick fourth-wall break because credit is due where credit is due. I want to take the time to send a massive thank you to Nathan Lorenzen, ISC's VP, for stepping up as our word-maven-in-residence while I took a short hiatus to grieve the loss of my best friend. Horse girls are a different breed, and this wasn't any ordinary horse... He was my touch stone and my true north for nearly 10 years. But, as Freddie Mercury once sang, the show must go on and while things could have spiraled, Nathan was quick to step in. His hard work and dedication kept this little circus running, and he deserves a standing ovation (and probably a parade with confetti cannons). So please join me in giving Nathan some much deserved love. He's more than earned it. - T
Rest in peace, Monster Magnet (aka "Vlad")

Stay Aware. Stay Safe. And Don't Get Twisted.
