Additional record high temperatures and record warm low
temperatures are anticipated today and Monday. For
today... October 7... the record for South Bend is 85 degrees set
in 1963 and the record for Fort Wayne is 89 degrees set in 1939.
Record or near record high temperatures in the upper 80s to around
90 are expected Monday.
Of particular note with respect to records... should South Bend
reach 87 degrees today and Fort Wayne reach 90 degrees... not only
would daily records be established... but it would officially be
the warmest temperatures recorded so late in the season. At 1130
am... the heat was quickly building with South Bend at 81 degrees
and Fort Wayne at 83 degrees.
