Highlights:
- Showers and t-storms Monday night
- Turning much colder
- Snowy close to the work week
Changes Loom…We couldn’t have asked for a more delightful weekend to open December. Plentiful sunshine helped warm afternoon highs into the 55-60 degree range both Saturday and Sunday across central Indiana. We sure hope you found a way to get out and enjoy it as major changes loom.
A cold front responsible for ushering in these changes will blow through the state Tuesday morning. Ahead of the cold front, look for a line of showers and thunderstorms Monday night. For the most part, rain should be southeast of our region before the morning rush Tuesday. Winds will shift to the northwest and help usher in a much colder air mass through the day. This will set the tone for what the rest of the week will hold (and for that matter, most of the rest of the month).
Cold, dry conditions will be with us for midweek before a vigorous upper level disturbance races southeast across the Ohio Valley to close the work week. Snow showers and unseasonably cold conditions are a given Thursday night through Saturday morning and we’ll have to continue to monitor things closely for the prospects of the season’s first accumulating snow Friday. These type events have been known to “overachieve.”
The cold pattern is just setting in and shows no signs of departing in the longer range. Additional wintry “mischief” looms next week…

Highlights:
- Mild open to December
- Early week rain and storms
- Hello winter
Great Weekend By December Standards…High pressure will build in overnight and provide beautiful weather to open December. We’ll enjoy plentiful sunshine and well above average temperatures through the weekend and on into early next week. Take our word for it: Enjoy it while you have it!
An approaching storm system will lead to increasing clouds later Monday along with an increasingly gusty southwest breeze Monday afternoon into the evening. A cold front will move through the state Tuesday with widespread rain and embedded thunderstorms. Strong and gusty winds will continue. Once the front sweeps through the state, falling temperatures can be expected Tuesday evening.
The true shift to winter will begin the middle of next week, complete with MUCH colder air, gusty northwest winds, and scattered snow showers. Speaking of winter, if you’re a fan of the cold and snow for the holiday season, the upcoming pattern change will put a smile on your face. A prolonged stretch of cold and wintry conditions should continue through the holidays and into the new year…

Highlights:
- Weak front passes through Thursday
- Sun-filled, mild weekend
- Big changes await
Enjoying The Relatively Quiet Weather While We Can…Dry conditions will remain in place today before a weak frontal boundary passes through the state Thursday. Enough moisture will return in advance of this front to help spark a couple of light showers, but this won’t be a big deal and several neighborhoods won’t pick up any rainfall.
We’ll get back to dry, quiet weather over the weekend as high pressure builds in. Sunshine and mild weather will continue. Given what looms, it’ll be a perfect weekend to complete any lingering outdoor work or get those Christmas lights up!
Big changes await next week as winter gets ready to settle in. The leading edge of the cold air will be accompanied by showers as we open the work week. Easily the coldest air of the season awaits for later next week…

Highlights:
- Dry and quiet weather remains
- Shower chance Thursday
- Sunny weekend ahead
Boring Pattern Remains…An eerily quiet weather pattern will remain intact as we progress through the upcoming week. We’ll notice an increasingly gusty southwesterly breeze later today into Tuesday and this will help boost afternoon highs very near the 60° mark.
A weak cold front will pass through Thursday and while a shower will be possible as the front moves through the region, this won’t be a significant weather event. Slightly cooler air (not cold by any means) will arrive behind the cold front this weekend. The bigger news will be the continuation of extended quiet and sunny weather.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.10″

Highlights:
- Scattered flurries and snow showers Sunday morning
- Dry for Thanksgiving travels
- Rather boring week of weather ahead
November Or December?! A strong cold front is slipping southeast as we type this forecast Saturday afternoon. This will result in a much colder close to the day, along with wrap around moisture transitioning to wet snow later this evening across central and northern portions of the state. Sunday will start off with scattered flurries and snow showers before dry conditions quickly return. It’ll be an unseasonably cold and blustery day.
As folks begin to travel for the upcoming Thanksgiving Day holiday, high pressure will provide an extended period of dry and rather uneventful conditions. A dry cold front will pass through the state Tuesday and help reinforce the chill for Thanksgiving, itself. While we’ll notice gusty breezes at times this upcoming week, precipitation will be hard to come by.
Our next threat of precipitation will arrive this time next week as a cold front moves south. Expect showers Saturday, followed by a wind shift and coldest air of the season by the second half of next weekend.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: Trace – Dusting
