Every year is a bit different, but typically at some point between late August and early September we get that 1st cold frontal passage that serves as a reminder a new season is upon us. This year, that frontal passage is today.

As the front continues to sink south, we’ll notice increasingly dry air building in to close the work week. Dew points will fall into the 50s by this afternoon.

Cooler air will accommodate the drier air mass. Lows across central Indiana will fall into the lower and middle 50s (not totally out of the question a few communities fall into the 40s) both Saturday and Sunday mornings.

Dry conditions will prevail today and Saturday, and most of Sunday, too, for that matter. Our next storm system will lead to an increase in cloudiness Sunday PM and a couple of showers could follow. More widespread rain is anticipated to arrive Monday into Tuesday, and could be accompanied by a few storms. Early indications would suggest we’re looking at 0.50″ to 1″ with this system.

This will be ahead of a stronger trough that will serve to reinforce the unseasonably cool air as we head into the Labor Day weekend. If you’re a fan of this weekend, you’ll absolutely love what’s on tap next weekend (shave off a few more degrees both for lows and highs)!
