Unseasonably Warm Open To November…

Screen Shot 2015-10-31 at 8.56.22 AMHighlights:

  • Windy and showery Halloween
  • Dry time returns with warmth
  • Watching a more substantial storm at the end of the week

Good morning and happy Halloween, friends!  We’re off to a cold and blustery start.  Temperatures in the 40s, along with a stiff east breeze is presenting a chill in the air!  A rather gloomy day is on deck with “showery” conditions at times, but there will be more dry time than not.

The second half of the weekend will turn brighter and very pleasant, and this will really set the tone for what will be a very tranquil first few days of November (where is time going)?!  Unseasonably warm conditions will be with us for the balance of the upcoming work week and provide a great opportunity to get those yard chores taken care of or Christmas lights put up.

A more substantial storm system will arrive late week with showers and thunderstorms followed by colder air next weekend…

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″

Heavy Rain Then Colder…

Today can be labeled as the so called “calm before the storm,” as sunny skies greet us out the door.  It’ll be a very pleasant Monday with highs in the middle 60s.  Sunny skies this morning will turn increasingly cloudy later in the day as moisture continues to stream north associated with Patricia’s remnants.

This morning’s satellite picture:

Feeling More Like Fall; Rain Builds In Tuesday…

Screen Shot 2015-10-25 at 10.29.14 AMHighlights:

  • Cooler and breezy
  • Soaking rain builds in Tuesday
  • Watching Halloween

A cold front moved through the area Saturday afternoon and evening and high pressure is now in control with dry skies, cooler temperatures, and breezy conditions.  All in all, a beautiful autumn day is on tap!  Enjoy!

Remnant moisture of Patricia will track north and team up with a cold front in the Tuesday-Wednesday time period.  Embedded thunderstorms and locally heavy rain can be expected.  This, of course, is much needed after what’s been a dry time of things the past couple months.

The cold front will sweep through the area Wednesday night and put an end to the rain.  Strong northwest winds will usher in a much cooler air mass to wrap up the work week.

We’ll continue monitoring the goings on for Halloween.  Models have varied from run to run over the past few days and timing issues will likely continue.

Moderating Trend…

Screen Shot 2015-10-18 at 9.35.16 PMHighlights:

  • Breezy open to the work week
  • Moderating temperatures
  • Weekend rain chances

Two back-to-back freezes were felt across central IN over the weekend, including several reports of middle to upper 20s in neighborhoods away from the city.  As we open the work week, our air flow will shift to the SW and help boost temperatures with wind gusts up to 30 MPH Monday afternoon.  Dry conditions will prevail until Wednesday when an isolated shower/ sprinkle will be possible.

Better rain chances are expected this weekend as a cold front moves in.  Modeling suggests this boundary may be able to tap into just enough Gulf moisture to allow for more widespread rain coverage than what we’ve seen recently.  We’ll keep our fingers crossed.
