The weather weekend is warm, windy, and wet. And…wild? The Storm Prediction has all of Indiana under a slight risk for severe weather Sunday. The most likely time for the storms would be in the late afternoon and evening. The biggest threats would come from damaging wind and even an isolated tornado. Today will be more cloudy than yesterday with a few spotty showers and highs around 50 or the low 50s. The biggest chances of those small showers today is Indy southward, closest to an upper level wave. Tonight will be dry with some breaks in the clouds. Most of the day Saturday will be dry, with a slight shower chance. Rain is likely Saturday night into early Sunday morning. The second round of rain (with the severe potential) will arrive mid to late afternoon Sunday. Total rain for the weekend could reach one inch. A cold front will slam the state late Sunday night and it will turn cooler and drier Monday, but *not* as cold as our big cold front earlier this week. WIKI-POTEETIA: Today will only be the fifth day this month where the average temperature will be above the norm. At November’s halfway point Indy’s temp is running 4.5 degrees below normal. In Lafayette it’s 5.2 degrees off the average. Muncie is 3.7 cooler than average and 4.1 below normal in Bloomington. We’re also a behind on rainfall for the month so far, although that deficit should be eliminated this week.
