A cold front has it’s eyes set on Indiana and will pass through the state Monday morning. Ahead of the front, scattered thunderstorms that we’re seeing on radar this evening (around 8p as we type this up) will transition into more widespread showers and embedded thunder during the wee morning hours Monday as the front moves through.
Forecast radar 7a Monday.
In general, rainfall totals should be around one half inch, but we do note some locally heavier totals can be expected where evening thunderstorms track.
Storm total rainfall should be around half an inch for most.
Once the front blows through Monday morning, winds will shift to the northwest and help usher in a much cooler feel of things. In fact, we expect highs tomorrow afternoon only in the upper 60s for most neighborhoods. Temperatures will then fall quickly into the 40s tomorrow night.
It’ll feel like fall tomorrow.
The majority of the upcoming work week will feel much more like fall, including an extended stretch of lows in the 40s to lower 50s and highs in the 60s. We’ll have to keep a close eye on the late week forecast for rain prospects in association with a cut off upper low. More details on that in the AM. Make it a great evening.
An unseasonably cool week is dialed up.
A “backdoor” cold front will approach the region from the northeast late in the weekend, but won’t have enough “umph” to push the drier, cooler air our friends across the northeast and mid Atlantic will enjoy our way.
The evolution of the pattern from an unseasonably warm, dry regime to a much cooler, autumnal feel will, undoubtedly, feature showers and thunderstorms as we transition. Modeling continues to waffle back and forth in regards to rainfall totals. As of now, we’ll highlight Monday-Wednesday with increased rain chances.
Thereafter, we turn MUCH cooler. Data suggests Tuesday-Friday features temperatures much more like we’d expect for late September. Lows in the 45-50 degree range, along with highs between 65-70 can be expected.
