A cold front moving through earlier today didn’t produce much precipitation, but it did usher in a fresh, colder breeze from the northwest. That wind will gust to 30 mph at times today, and it’s back to the upper 50s again for highs in Lafayette, Kokomo, Muncie and Richmond. Indy will be right around 60, and the low to mid 60s are likely south of Indy.
Patches of frost are likely tonight. The frost may be limited by the continuing wind, although the gusts should end after midnight. Chills will still sink into the upper 20s for some early Wednesday.
If we do see 32 degree temps tonight…we’ll be close to average. Here are the average dates for the last Spring Freeze:
April 17 Indy
April 18 Columbus
April 21 Terre Haute
April 25 Muncie
April 25 Anderson
April 30 Lafayette
Winds won’t be as stiff tomorrow. The sun should be strong, and the temps still below average. We’re off the weather hook until Thursday, when showers and storms are possible in the afternoon and likely in the evening.
The early word on the weekend is good Saturday – not so much, Sunday.
