Turning Windy And Cooler…

Screen Shot 2015-10-28 at 7.22.22 AMHighlights:

  • Increasing winds
  • Turning much cooler
  • Showers possible for Trick-Or-Treat

Low pressure is tracking into the Great Lakes this morning and the steady rain is ending from west to east.  Showers will remain in our forecast today until a cold front sweeps the region later this evening, but the all day, steady rains are coming to an end.  The other big story today will be strengthening northwest winds late.  Those northwest winds (gusts of 30-40 MPH) will help drive much cooler air southbound to wrap up the work week!

Our next weather maker will, unfortunately, arrive over the weekend and we must maintain shower chances during the all important Saturday evening Trick-Or-Treat forecast.  While heavy rain isn’t anticipated, it could be just enough to require rain gear when you’re out and about.

Ridging will develop over the eastern US early next week and be responsible for a nice stretch of “Indian Summer” weather.

Upcoming 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.25″ – 0.50″

Brilliant Fall Foliage…

As we continue to enjoy peak weekend for fall foliage across central IN, we wanted to share a few photos we snapped out and about in the Zionsville and Eagle Creek area earlier today.  Perhaps it was the wet summer followed by the extended stretch of dry, sunny weather late summer into the fall that has led to such vibrant color across the immediate region- some of the best we’ve seen in years. Regardless, be sure to enjoy as the mid week rain storm and very windy conditions that follow will likely take down a lot of the leaves later this week.

Frosty Start…Frost is pretty widespread across central Indiana this morning.  Certainly grab the coat on the way out the door!  Otherwise, morning sunshine will give way to increasingly cloudy skies during the afternoon and a few sprinkles are possible by evening.  Best chances of a heavier shower (still nothing of significance) will occur across southwestern portions of the state.

Not Feeling Like Halloween…Reinforcing cold air will pour into the state on howling north and northwest winds Friday.  After an early morning high, temperatures will fall through the day and light rain/ mist will begin to transition to light snow as nightfall approaches.  Trick-or-treaters- BUNDLE UP!  In addition to developing light snow/ flurries, winds will be gusting in excess of 30 MPH, creating wind chill values in the 20s for the evening.

Additionally, as the early season arctic air pours over the relatively warm Lake Michigan waters, we’ll notice a couple bands of enhanced snow rates that may extend into north-central Indiana Friday evening.  These snow bands will be very localized and thin in nature, but don’t be surprised to hear a couple reports of brief heavier bursts of snow from locations that get under these localized bands.  While our ground temperatures are still relatively warm, some areas will likely accumulate a dusting to “coating” of snow Halloween night.

Killing Hard Freeze…A killing hard freeze will occur both Saturday and Sunday mornings as temperatures drop into the upper 20s.  Partly cloudy skies can be expected during the day, but that early November sun won’t do much to help warm us up as we only reach the lower 40s Saturday and mid/ upper 40s Sunday- 15+ degrees below normal levels.

Next Wet Weather Maker…Our next storm system will deliver rain Tuesday into Wednesday.  After a sunny open to the work week, clouds and rain will quickly increase Tuesday into Wednesday.  We’ll have to fine tune rainfall amounts as time draws closer.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.50″ – 1.00″
  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: Dusting

Mid Week Sunshine…Though our northern counties will deal with periods of cloudiness into the afternoon, most of the region will enjoy lots of sunshine and cool, crisp temperatures (below normal levels).  Most neighborhoods will see frost tonight with many dipping into the middle 30s.

After a sunny start Thursday, skies will cloud up and a couple sprinkles will be possible during the afternoon hours.  Temperatures will remain cool.

Wintry Feel; Light Snow For Halloween…A secondary push of early season arctic air will invade for Halloween, including trick-or-treat, itself.  After an early high in the middle 40s, temperatures will fall through the day and developing light rain will begin to mix with and transition to light snow Friday evening.  Though we’re not forecasting widespread accumulating snow, it wouldn’t surprise us to see a few reports of a dusting to “coating” type accumulation reports atop cars and roof tops.  Needless to say, with falling temperatures, rain to snow, and gusty winds, plan to dress warm while out and about Friday evening.  Wind chill values will fall into the 20s throughout Friday evening.

Weekend Hard Freeze…Back-to-back hard, killing freezes can be anticipated Saturday and Sunday mornings.  Though we’ll introduce weekend sunshine into the forecast, it won’t help the temperature department all that much as highs remain 15-20 degrees below average.

Early Week Storm System…Our next weather maker will arrive Tuesday and produce a rather rainy, chilly day.  Early indications suggest light to moderate rainfall totals Tuesday.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.50″ – 0.75″
  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: Dusting
