Highlights:
- Rainy weather today
- Much cooler conditions coming
- Prolonged stretch of strong winds
The region will be under a squeeze play of sorts today as tropical moisture continues to lift north from the Gulf Coast and a cold front approaches from the northwest. The end result will be for an expanding shield of rain to encompass a large portion of central IN as the day progresses. Heaviest rainfall is still expected downstate, but there will also be some localized heavier totals across central IN, as well. This, of course, is much needed.
The cold front will pass tonight and shut off any threat of rain. The big story will become the much cooler air mass settling into the region for the foreseeable future. Additionally, factor in the goings on along the eastern seaboard with an area of high pressure building in from the north and very windy conditions can be expected as we move through late week into the weekend. Strong and gusty northeast winds will be very persistent, with gusts up to 30 MPH at times.
We’ll continue to keep close tabs along the happenings along the eastern seaboard late in the period. As of now we think high pressure should keep us dry and cool, but stay tuned.
