Big Temperature Swings On the Way!

Good morning! It is a nice start to the day out there! Temperatures are chilly, in the upper 40s-low 50s.

Sunny skies will be the rule the first half of today, then clouds increasing by late afternoon. Winds will really begin to crank this afternoon! We will have to watch for a line of showers/storms moving through this evening, as a couple storms could reach severe limits. It will be warmer today, in the middle 70s.

A very sharp cold front is going to swing through the Ohio Valley late tonight. Winds will be howling after midnight, as we could see gusts over 30 mph!

A cloudy, cold, windy day expected for Friday! Winds will be downright gusty, making it feel colder than what the thermometer says! A few sprinkles will be possible tomorrow afternoon. Highs will be in the upper 50s!

Some sunshine should return Saturday, as the chill remains. Highs will only top out in the upper 50s!! Frost threat is HIGH on Saturday night! With clear skies & calm winds, frost will become patchy to widespread! Lows will dip in the upper 30s in the city, but low-middle 30s away from Indy. Green thumbs beware!!! Sunday should turn out pretty nice! Lots of sunshine expected, with highs in the middle 60s. The cold air for this weekend is impressive! Check out the departure from normal for this weekend:


Also, check out how far south this cold air is going! Even Florida is going to feel temperatures well below normal this weekend!

For next week, SUNNY, WARM, BEAUTIFUL DAYS EACH DAY NEXT WEEK!!! That ridge that has been in the northwest U.S. for the past month will finally build east, across the central & eastern half of the U.S.! Temperatures will warm well in the 70s, with lower 80s by the second half of next week! It looks this warm pattern may stick around for a while, too! Check out the 8-14 day outlook: (Oct. 6-12)

It doesn't get much better than that! My only fear is that the colder air building in western Canada during this time may eventually find its way to spread into the area towards the third week of October.

Have a great Thursday, and check back for more updates here at Nate's Weather Blog!
