It’s another cold start for the state, with morning lows in the 20s. Today will be the 18th day of the month will below normal numbers in Indy.
November’s been generally cold and dry. We are two inches behind on monthly precipitation. Precip prospects are dim until the weekend, when it gets warmer and (maybe) wetter Saturday night and Sunday. There’s a better chance of showers and storms Tuesday.
The big weather player over the next week is a huge storm in the Pacific, soaking the West Coast for the next five days. All of Cali could see showers, with 12 to 20 inches of rain possible across the northern coastal mountains as well as up to 8 inches for the inland valleys. Snow is expected in the higher elevations.
The clouds and moisture for the system stretch back to Indonesia. It will help push warm air back into Indiana this weekend and at least a few days next week. Temperatures will already be 10-15 degrees above average today in the central Rockies and High Plains.
