After a chilly open to October, the past several days have provided a rebound in the temperature department. Officially, through the first 11 days of the month, Indianapolis is 1.3° above average.
This week will feature (2) cold fronts sweeping through the region. The first front is on our doorstep now and will pass through the area this evening.
Expect a brief shower and gusty winds between 4p and 6p this evening from west to east across central Indiana. Winds will likely gust to around 40 MPH as the front moves through.
Cooler and less humid air will pour into the region tonight and set the stage for a pleasant midweek period.
A secondary cold front will push into the state Thursday and this frontal system will pack a colder punch just in time for the weekend.
Another shot of light rain and gusty winds will accompany the 2nd cold front, but the bigger story will be the sharply colder air. Highs this weekend will likely only top out in the lower to middle 50s with overnight lows into the 30s.
A weak wave of low pressure will be monitored this week for the possibility of spreading a chilly rain (GFS has even hinted at wet snow mixing in at times, but we’re not buying that as of now) across the Ohio Valley Sunday into next Monday. If this system develops, we’d likely be talking about highs not making it out of the 40s during these days. More on this and what the lead up to Halloween has in store later this evening in our video update.
Have a blessed Monday!

An early taste of winter is descending on the Rockies today (the town of Breckenridge camera will be fun to check in on from time to time over the next 24 hours). Places, such as Denver, that were in the 90s yesterday will fall into the 20s and 30s today with snow.
Note the big spread in temperatures across the country this morning and corresponding 24 hour temperature change:
We’ll remain on the mostly dry and warm side of this event until the weekend.
Once the storm system lifts northeast and gets close enough to impact our region, it’ll be in a much weaker state. Scattered showers and thunder are possible over the weekend, but widespread significant rainfall isn’t expected.
After heavy rains fell across north-central Indiana Monday, a much drier theme can be expected throughout the next several days. A widely scattered shower or thunderstorm is possible before Saturday, but most should remain rain-free. Even as the storm system draws closer, weekend rainfall should average only between 0.25″ and 0.50″ for most.
Cooler air (nothing to the extent or magnitude of what our friends out west are seeing) will filter in here late weekend and early next week. Lows into the 50s can be expected with a couple of days of highs in the 70s.
