Frosty Weekend Coming…
Highlights:
- Another glorious fall day
- Scattered shower Thursday night
- Much cooler air heading into the weekend
High pressure will provide another picture-perfect fall day Wednesday before a cold front approaches Thursday evening. A band of scattered showers will accompany the frontal passage Thursday night, but we’re still not looking at any sort of rain of significance.
The big story wrapping up the work week and heading into the weekend? MUCH cooler air and blustery conditions. Jackets and sweaters will be needed this weekend. Additionally, we still think our first frost and freeze of the season will arrive come Sunday morning.
Looking ahead, forecast models remain consistent on a more appreciable rain maker arriving just over a week from today. Stay tuned.

One-Two Punch Of Cool Air…
Highlights:
- Windy times
- Cooler air arrives
- Showers Thursday night
- Chilly finish to the week
A cold front swept through the region Monday evening with a band of showers and embedded strong thunderstorms across the eastern portion of IN. Rainfall amounts weren’t impressive, unfortunately. High pressure is now building in and will result in a much cooler and continued dry time through mid week.
A secondary cold front will blow into town Thursday evening with scattered showers and MUCH cooler, breezy conditions to wrap up the work week. A chilly weekend is in store with frost potential Sunday morning.

A Warm Wind Monday…
Highlights:
- Windy and warm open to the work week
- Cooler times coming
- Stronger front to close the week
- Weekend frost potential
We’ll welcome a new work week with blustery SW winds (gusting upwards of 30 MPH Monday afternoon) and warm conditions. A cold front will move through central IN Monday evening and cooler air will follow. We’ll turn much cooler for mid week, along with pleasant skies.
A secondary (stronger) front will sweep through the area Friday. This frontal system may include a couple showers, but the strong and gusty winds and MUCH cooler air will be the bigger deal. Dry skies, but well below normal temperatures are on tap this weekend. Many communities will be dealing with their first frost and/ or freeze come Sunday morning.

Winds Of Change…
Highlights:
- Mostly dry theme continues
- Get used to the term “breezy!”
- Much cooler air coming
We couldn’t have asked for better weather for a Saturday and, thankfully, we’ll experience a repeat tomorrow (tack on a few degrees for afternoon highs). Breezy SW winds (gusts upwards of 30 MPH) will kick temperatures up to near 80 Monday afternoon before a cold front sweeps through the region Monday night. While an isolated shower is possible Monday, most of central IN will remain rain-free. Cooler air will arrive Tuesday and Wednesday.
A stronger cold front will move into the region Friday. Like our early week front, this one, too, will be moisture-starved. Windy conditions and MUCH cooler air will be the big deal going into next weekend. Most communities will experience their first frost Saturday and/ or Sunday morning.

Bundle Up…It’s another chilly and frosty start to the day and patchy fog has developed across portions of central Indiana this morning. Plan to leave a little extra time on your way to work or school to account for this. Otherwise, the first half of the day will feature bright sunshine (fog should burn off quickly) before clouds begin to increase this afternoon and evening.
More Bark Than Bite…A couple waves of very light precipitation will move through central Indiana Friday morning and again Saturday morning. With a very dry air mass in place, this should be scattered and very light in nature (some won’t get wet at all). Temperatures will be very mild Saturday before a brief Sunday “speed bump,” as a frontal boundary moves through.
Warm Open To The Work Week…A pronounced southwesterly flow will be in place ahead of our next cold front that appears to have a Tuesday focus. Monday and Tuesday will feature unseasonably warm temperatures. We’ll note our best chance of widespread measurable rain of the forecast period on Tuesday. Cooler air will flow back into the area on gusty northwest winds Tuesday night.

Frosty Now, But A Taste Of Indian Summer Coming…
Our immediate focus has to do with another frosty morning Thursday (many will have low temperatures in the lower to middle 30s come daybreak with plenty of frost). That said, changes are coming as we transition from eastern troughiness to brief ridging come early week.
We’ll replace the frosty 30s with a couple days of highs in the lower to middle 70s early next week.
Upper air pattern centered on next Monday:
We’ll flirt with 70 degrees Saturday before a Sunday “speed bump” (highs in the lower 60s), but highs Monday and Tuesday will likely be around, or above, the 70 degree mark with a breezy southwest flow.
Forecast models differ on the next round of rain, but we’ll highlight the Tuesday-Wednesday time frame for our next best chance of widespread rains and embedded thunder along with a cool down for mid and late week.
