Some Nice Typical Days Ahead!

Good afternoon, everyone! After all the flooding the past few days, and the snow yesterday, our weather pattern is finally calming down, at least for a few days. While some areas in central Indiana "missed out" on the snow, scattered areas across the state did pick up decent accumulation. You can also see the snowcover on the satellite image today:


Sunshine is in full force this afternoon. Strange to see the sun!! I know it's chilly, but at least the winds are very light! If your heading out this evening, expect temps to drop quickly by sunset under clear skies.
Tomorrow through Saturday will be a nice period of weather, with mostly sunny skies, and middle-upper 40's. Chilly mornings in the 20's should be expected. Very seasonable for early December. We may exceed 50 on Saturday!

Changes come in for Sunday. Showers will spread from west to east across the Hoosier state, mainly the second half of the day. It will be a chilly rain. Here is a look at this system on the models:

After this system exits, things get interesting!!! A break-out of arctic air is going to invade the area next week, along with the potential of a cut-off low bringing snow to some areas. This can mean highs struggling to reach freezing for a day or two, and lows in the teens!! Take a look:


I also mentioned the slight chance of a cut-off low. Still too early to pinpoint, so I will have more on that in the coming days. Want more arctic air?? Well another warm-up will commence late next week, ahead of another system. It is behind that system that a MAJOR ARCTIC OUTBREAK could hit a good chunk of the country:


That may hit sometime next weekend, around the 10th. Overall, the pattern is loaded with some of the arctic, and of course this can lead to snow if a storm comes at the right time.

By the way..... it is the last day of Hurricane Season 2011! That is all for now, have a great rest of your day!
