The scariest thing you can dress up as today is a weatherman. Winds increase and temps decrease, with the one-two punch of a surface cold front in the morning and an upper level low this afternoon. A few showers are expected, and the sky will be mostly cloudy.
The first batch of rain will hit in the late morning and midday with the cold front, which will clear Indy by 2pm.
By midday and afternoon the wind will gust to 30 mph. Trick-or-treat temps should be from around 40 down to 35, with chills from around 30 down to to 25.
Rain showers mix with and change to snow showers this evening. The upper level low moves east late, and our attention then shifts to temperatures.
A Freeze Warning runs midnight to 10am Saturday as the sky clears. The wind will still be hitting Monumental Marathon runners in the face (when they are facing north) with gusts up to 25 mph. The breeze will ease Saturday afternoon but the temps get even colder Saturday night into Sunday morning.
