Rain is falling across all of central and southern portions of the state this morning, but there’s a sharp cut-off across northern Indiana, thanks to a frontal boundary. It’s a “what you see is what you get” kind of day as steady rain will continue into the afternoon before becoming more showery in nature. Additional rainfall amounts will range from between 0.25″ and 0.75″.
Rain will exit the state off to the southeast by 9p-10p this evening, but by that time there could be a few lake effect rain showers flowing off Lake Michigan and impacting far northwest IN as cooler air pours into the region.
Speaking of that, lows tonight and Friday morning will fall into the middle 30s for most of central IN.
High pressure will build into the region as we wrap up the week and help supply a return of dry, sunny weather Friday and Halloween, itself.
Our quiet weather will give way to blustery and colder conditions to close the weekend and open up the new work week as the arctic comes visiting for the first time this season.
This is the type system that will generate the first lake effect snow event of the season for the eastern Great Lakes Snow Belt communities. We can expect a hard freeze Monday morning with temperatures falling into the upper 20s and wind chill values into the 10s.
As next week matures, temperatures will begin to moderate and high pressure will supply an extended period of dry conditions. Overall, we’re looking at a much quieter week ahead compared to the past couple of weeks.
