Welcome To October…

  • Improving weekend weather
  • Dry, warmer open to the work week
  • Strong late week cold front

Slow Improvements…The “cut off” upper low that’s plagued the region for the past few days will slowly begin to lift north this weekend.  Eventually it’ll get absorbed into the westerlies and get outta’ here!  The end result will be a slowly improving weekend.  Rain coverage will be greater today than Sunday, but less than Friday! 🙂  Slow moving showers and embedded thunder will be most numerous this afternoon before slowly diminishing tonight.  While we’ll have to maintain mention of a shower Sunday, most folks will remain dry.

The work week will get off to a dry start along with moderating temperatures. Highs by mid week will reach the lower 80s as a southwesterly air flow dominates ahead of an approaching strong autumn front.

While timing still needs to be fine tuned, we’re focusing in on the cold front passing through central IN Friday morning.  Ahead of the boundary, scattered showers and thunderstorms can be expected followed by an abrubt NW wind shift and a MUCH cooler air mass for the weekend.  Speaking of cool, it wouldn’t surprise us to see some neighborhood lows into the upper 30s next weekend.

It is October, after all…

  • Continued unsettled and unseasonably cool
  • Drier time arrives Sunday
  • Moderating temperatures early next week

Rinse And Repeat Pattern…Our weather pattern will be dominated by a “cut off” upper low through Saturday.  While it won’t rain the entire time, we’ll maintain mention of scattered showers and embedded thunderstorms each day.  It still appears as if Friday will serve up the most widespread rain coverage.  Similar to today, stronger thunderstorms could contain small hail, especially during the afternoon hours.  Temperatures will remain significantly cooler than normal through the period.

A drier regime will build in late this weekend into early next week. Ridging will continue to expand as we move into mid week with needed dry time and moderating temperatures.  Our next storm system appears to be slated for an arrival next Thursday.  Storms will accompany the front followed by much cooler air.

  • Tuesday sunshine gives way to increasing clouds
  • Unsettled, unseasonably cool stretch of weather ahead
  • Beginning to dry things out late in the weekend

Prolonged Stretch Of Unseasonably Cool; Unsettled Weather…A cold front swept through the region this morning with a round of showers and thunderstorms followed by a push of drastically drier and cooler air for the PM.  The coolest night since spring is dialed up with a mostly clear sky.  Many central IN neighborhoods should be in the mid/ upper 40s Tuesday morning.

Enjoy the sunshine Tuesday as clouds being to increase during the second half of the day.  A cut off upper level low will drop south and “meander” around our neck of the woods for mid and late week.  This will supply considerable cloudiness, periods of scattered showers, and unseasonably cool temperatures.  Even some small hail is possible (with the stronger showers) during the afternoon hours, thanks to the cold air aloft.

We’ll slowly begin to dry things out and allow temperatures to moderate heading through the back half of the weekend, continuing into early next week.
