We’ll be back later this afternoon to discuss the big late week chill, but want to focus on the warmth of early week this morning. Today will be gorgeous- wall-to-wall…

Beautiful Autumn Weekend…Early morning clouds quickly burned off and gave way towards a mostly sunny to partly cloudy sky by late morning. That sunny theme will remain as we roll into the afternoon and the second half of the weekend, as well. Highs this afternoon will reach into the lower 70s before a push of slightly cooler air moves in tonight that will keep us in the 60s for highs Sunday.
Warm Open To The Work Week Before Big Changes…We’ll open up our new work week with lots of sunshine and unseasonably warm (almost balmy) temperatures. We think highs Monday afternoon make it all the way into the middle 70s.
A strong cold front has aim on the area Tuesday and will include showers and thunderstorms as the front passes. Much cooler air will flow into the area behind the boundary for mid week.
As we get into the latter portion of the week, forecast models have a couple of different scenarios, but the common theme is a chilly one. Whether or not the chilly air includes precipitation is yet to be determined, but we’re siding more towards the European solution for now and building light rain into our Halloween forecast as unseasonably cold air pours south.

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.

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.

Frosty…It’s the coldest morning for most since last May. Frost is rather widespread here at IndyWx.com HQ this morning (southern Boone county). Thankfully, brilliant mid-Autumn sunshine will help temperatures warm into the upper 50s this afternoon (still roughly 5 degrees below average). We’ll do it all again tonight as lows dip into the middle to upper 30s for many outlying communities.
Weak Weather System…First, most of, if not all Thursday will be dry with increasing late day clouds. A couple very light showers will move across central Indiana late Thursday night into early Friday. This won’t be a big deal in the least and we’ll quickly get back to dry weather.
Nice Weekend…A nice and dry weekend awaits with moderating temperatures. All-in-all, it’ll be a beautiful autumn weekend.
Warmer Ahead Of The Next Storm System…While temperatures will moderate into the lower 70s early next week, it’ll come at a cost and that will be our next chance of widespread rain and embedded storms. We’ll get back to cooler air by the middle of next week.
