We’re opening up the new week with glorious early-November conditions. High pressure will remain in firm control of our pattern, supplying plentiful sunshine. A shift in our wind direction to the southwest will help drive a big boost in temperatures into the middle part of the upcoming week.
At times, these southwest winds will gust more than 30 MPH Monday afternoon.
This will help boost high temperatures into the lower and middle 60s today through Wednesday. Get out there and enjoy the unseasonably mild conditions!
Changes are on deck as we move into the middle of the week thanks to an approaching cold front. Clouds will increase and we could have a couple of light showers sneak in here Wednesday before more widespread showers arrive Thursday with the frontal passage, itself. Plan on another day of big wind gusts Thursday (40+ MPH) as the front sweeps through.
As of now we expect rainfall amounts to check-in between 0.25″ and 0.75″ with the passage of Thursday’s front.
We’ll keep close eyes on “wrap-around” moisture Thursday night and Friday. With colder air in place at this point, the first snowflakes of the season appear likely for several of our neighbors across northern Indiana.
The coldest air so far this fall season will arrive next weekend.
