Zionsville, IN After enjoying a pleasant Sunday, we’re getting set for a busy time in the good ole forecast office this week. This is just the beginning of a more active, colder, pattern that should carry us through the end of October…
Monday: Partly cloudy; 43/ 67
The new work week will dawn with pleasant skies and chilly conditions. Some outlying areas could even dip into the 30s tonight/ early Monday. We target the lower 40s officially for IND under fair skies. Dry conditions are on tap Monday with very pleasant temperatures.
Tuesday: Late Showers; 0.10; 52/ 72
Most of your Tuesday will remain rain-free, but we target our next cold front for a Tuesday night/ Wednesday arrival. As a result, we think a broken band of showers moves through the state Tuesday evening into Wednesday morning. We’re not expecting heavy rain with this event and the bigger deal will be the drop in temperatures for mid and late week.
Wednesday: AM showers; 0.25; 48/ 61 (falling)
As mentioned above, our cold front will push east of the region Wednesday morning and usher in a wind shift to the northwest that’ll result in falling temperatures through the day. We think area thermometers are in the 50s by Wednesday afternoon along with a gusty northwest wind.
Thursday: Mostly cloudy; 43/ 54
Cool will be the word Thursday with highs not making it out of the middle 50s. As of now we think we remain dry Thursday with partly to mostly cloudy skies in place. We’ll monitor for the chance of an instability-driven light shower chance, but these will likely be few and far between.
Friday: Partly cloudy; 42/ 60; Saturday: Mostly cloudy; 39/ 52
Partly cloudy and cool conditions will be with us as we wrap up the work week and head into the weekend. A cold front will blow through the state Friday evening, but it looks like moisture will be limited with this frontal passage. Again, similar, to that of the early week front, the bigger deal will be the drop in temperatures.
Sunday: Mostly cloudy with rain developing; 0.25; 43/ 54
Modeling is not in agreement with each other in regards to our next potential weather maker. As a result, we’ll have to fine tune our Sunday forecast as we move forward. If the next storm system is slower, then temperatures will be much cooler for overnight lows Saturday night and Sunday morning (into the 30s). As of now, we think clouds increase enough to prevent lows from falling much further than the lower 40s. Otherwise, Sunday looks like a day where clouds lower and thicken through the day with rain not far behind.
