I think the work week peaks today, at least with respect to nice weather. It’ll be the best combo of temps and sky, once we get past a chilly start. It was down to 33 this morning in Knox, a town in northwest Indiana. Muncie, Logansport, Lafayette, Peru and Kokomo all reported temps in the 30s. with a north wind that will shift to the east today. A cold front approaches tomorrow, and clouds will be around most of the day. Showers could start popping up on radar in the morning, and showers are likely Tuesday afternoon and evening. We should get about a quarter to a third of an inch of precipitation by the time it shuts down late with the front’s passage after midnight early Wednesday morning. An upper level wave follows the front Wednesday, and that should be enough to keep a mix of clouds and sun around, with the first shot of cooler air, and highs in the low 60s at best. Another upper level way should keep clouds in the mix Thursday, and highs will only be in the 50s! The last time Indy saw a high temp in the 50s was May 12. A mix of clouds and sun Thursday, then some sun and maybe a few degrees warmer (but still below average) Friday, before another cold front brings clouds and a few spotty showers late Friday evening into Saturday. The chill is overdue. October temps have been running pretty far above average across the state.
