Highlights:
- Dry, warm, and breezy in the short term
- Weekend rain chances
- Better rain chances next week
The ups and downs of fall continue. It was only a few days ago temperatures were in the 20s and widespread frost and freeze conditions were felt across central IN. Flip forward to Thursday and some neighborhoods will flirt with the 80 degree mark with a gusty SW wind in place. Dry weather will continue through the daytime Friday before we introduce shower chances Friday night. Rain chances continue Saturday.
A cold front will sweep through the area Saturday night and provide a more fall-like feel for the second half of the weekend with increasingly sunny skies as the day progresses.
Our next weather maker will come in the form of a cold front the middle of next week and enough Gulf of Mexico moisture may get entrained into the system to present a better threat of more significant rains than what we’ve seen over the past month, or so. We’ll keep our fingers crossed. Model solutions as of now vary from an absolute deluge (GEM and European) to more of a 0.5″-1″ type event. For now, we’ll “split the difference.”
