Another Cool Day Ahead - Rain Chances Too

Good morning, Indiana! We are waking up to gray skies, with some patchy rain this morning. Drizzle/sprinkles will increase in coverage this afternoon. We could see record cool highs go down today. Wait an minute... didn't we have record heat last week!!?? It always has to be one way or the other around here doesn't it? It wouldn't be the Ohio Valley without these extreme temperature swings, right? :)

On & off showers will be the rule the next several days. Highs today & tomorrow will stay in the 60s, add a breeze it will feel cooler. Things get slightly better by the weekend. Rain chances will become less numerous, and temps will start to warm well in the 70s again!

Here is a textbook view of a closed upper low over the area:


Now on the tropics..... It is busy to say the least!! We have Katia (a major hurricane) that will miss the U.S. but cause lots of dangerous rip currents along the eastern seaboard. Right behind it, we have TD 14, which will likely become a tropical storm today, the evolving into a hurricane! If that isn't enough for you, we have an area to watch closely in the gulf, as it has a HIGH chance of formation, per the NHC. This may actually take a VERY similar track as Lee did, and that is the system that is causing clouds & rain over the state right now. Stay tuned! I hope I'm not boring you with all these words! Let's get on to the maps:

Now to the radars to track the much-needed rain move in from east to west...





Have a great Wednesday!!
