Halloween Snow Sets The Stage For What Lies Ahead…

Halloween morning will dawn with a cold rain. Coverage of rain will increase rather dramatically after midnight and continue through the morning rush before tapering off mid to late morning. An additional 0.50″ to 0.75″ will be common by the time this next round of rain moves out.

Rain will be widespread across central Indiana Halloween morning.

Colder air will begin to whip into central Indiana late morning into the early afternoon, accompanied by strong and gusty WNW winds. After a lull in the precipitation, snow flurries and scattered snow showers will develop across the area after lunch, potentially becoming a bit steadier (especially from Indianapolis and points north) during the 6p-8p time frame. Yes, trick-or-treaters (kids and adults alike) will need to be bundled up!

The first snowflakes of the season will fly Halloween afternoon-evening.

Snow will end rather abruptly between 9p and 10p and then the story will be the cold. By daybreak Friday, all of the region can expect to be in the middle 20s with wind chill values in the 10s.

A very cold open to our Friday is on deck.

With the MJO focused on rumbling into Phase 5 (and eventually 6), along with a deeply negative EPO and slightly positive PNA, it’d be wise to gear up for more “out of season” cold and potentially wintry conditions as we move through the 1st half of November…

Tuesday Morning Rambles: A Lot To Talk About…

I. A cold front will slip through central Indiana this evening. After a high near 60 today, temperatures will be stuck in the 40s most of the day tomorrow. To add insult to injury, rain will overspread the state from the southwest late tonight into Wednesday morning.

There will be brief lull in the rain Wednesday evening before rain becomes widespread yet again early Halloween morning. All total, many central Indiana rain gauges can anticipate around 1″ of rainfall with this storm system.

II. Speaking of Halloween, it’ll be important to dress warmly when out and about trick-or-treating Thursday evening. Falling temperatures, increasingly gusty winds, and snow flurries/ scattered snow showers can be expected. How cold? Temperatures will be falling into the lower 30s Thursday evening with a gusty wind (around 30 MPH) resulting in wind chills in the upper 10s to middle 20s.

Precipitation will transition to light snow showers/ flurries Thursday PM.
Wind chills will fall into the upper 10s to middle 20s Thursday PM.

III. The first lake effect snow event of the fall will take place this weekend. Accumulating snow is expected in the snow belt regions- especially Saturday night. Otherwise, the first official freeze of the season can be expected for many across the Ohio Valley this weekend.

IV. Longer term, I’d get used to the cold, more wintry weather. The pattern continues to look much colder than average and active as we rumble through the early part of the month. (In case you didn’t see it last night, our November Outlook can be found here).

Rain Chances Going Up This Weekend; Taste Of Winter Blows Into Town Before Halloween…

Dry weather will prevail today and the majority of Thursday across central Indiana (a light passing shower is possible across northern Indiana, but this won’t be a big deal).

Scattered light showers are possible Thursday night into the day Friday, along with an increase in cloud cover, but again, significantly more dry time is anticipated than wet. Some won’t see a drop of rain Friday.

A scattered light shower is possible Thursday night-Friday across central IN.

As we rumble into the weekend, a vigorous upper level low in Oklahoma will “bowl” east across Arkansas and then shoot northeast across the Ohio Valley Saturday into Sunday. (Hint, you may want to get used to this kind of storm track over the upcoming winter). This will result in increasing aerial coverage of rain Saturday.

Rain will exit off to the northeast Saturday night and a drier second half of the weekend is expected. By the time all is said and done, a solid 0.50″ to 1″ of rain is expected (we’re currently siding with a blend of the aggressive European and lighter GFS).

After a wet 1st half of the weekend, all eyes will be set on a taste of winter that’s dialed up just before Halloween. A cold front will blow through the Ohio Valley early next week with the threat of rain followed by sharply colder air. As upper level energy rounds the base of the digging significant trough, the first flakes of the season can be expected across the region before Halloween (still will have to fine tune timing). This pattern will also serve up the first accumulating lake effect snow event of the season, including the Snow Belt regions of IN, MI, and OH.

A winter-like feel can be expected as we close October and open November.
