AS OF EARLY AFTERNOON, A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS AND SHOWERS
ASSOCIATED WITH AN INCOMING COLD FRONT WAS MOVING ACROSS THE REGION.
MANY OBSERVATIONS SITES WERE IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S WITH SOUTH
TO SOUTHWEST WINDS. ACTUAL VEERING WINDS TO THE WEST NORTHWEST
WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE ARE JUST NORTH OF THE OHIO RIVER
VALLEY.
TONIGHT, AFTER THE COLD FRONT PASSES, WINDS WILL REMAIN OUT OF
THE WEST SOUTHWEST RATHER THAN SHIFTING SIGNIFICANTLY TO THE
NORTHWEST. BY SATURDAY MORNING, WINDS WILL BE NEARLY CALM, AND
LOWS WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 30S TO AROUND 50 DEGREES. THE
LOWER OHIO VALLEY WILL EXPERIENCE A GENERALLY WEST TO EAST
AIRFLOW AS IT SITS AT THE BOTTOM OF A LARGE UPPER TROUGH
COVERING MOST OF THE CONUS. WITH THE AREA BETWEEN WEATHER
SYSTEMS, SKIES WILL BE MOSTLY SUNNY WITH A FEW HIGH LEVEL
CLOUDS. HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE MID 60S TO
LOWER 70S.
LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/
ISSUED AT 216 PM EST FRI NOV 7 2025
SATURDAY NIGHT, A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE THROUGH CENTRAL
INDIANA, BRINING A COLD FRONT THAT WILL PUSH EAST ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA. THIS WILL LEAD TO SIGNIFICANTLY COLDER TEMPERATURES
FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, WITH HIGHS ON SUNDAY IN THE MID 40S TO LOW 50S
(10 TO 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL), AND ON MONDAY RANGING FROM MID
30S TO NEAR 40 (ABOUT 20 TO 25 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL). OVERNIGHT
LOWS ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY WILL DROP INTO THE 20S AND POSSIBLY
EVEN THE UPPER TEENS IN SOME SPOTS (ABOUT 20 DEGREES BELOW
NORMAL).
THERE'S A CHANCE OF LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS DURING THIS COLD PERIOD,
PARTICULARLY SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY, BUT THE FORECAST IS UNCERTAIN
DUE TO INCONSISTENT MODEL PREDICTIONS. IF SNOW DOES OCCUR, IT'S
EXPECTED TO MELT QUICKLY DUE TO WARM GROUND TEMPERATURES, CAUSING
MINIMAL ISSUES. THE PROBABILISTIC WSSI HAS ABOUT A 30-70% CHANCE OF
HAVING SOME SORT OF WINTRY WEATHER, AND ONLY A 5% CHANCE OF HAVING A
MINOR IMPACT.BY TUESDAY, CLEARER SKIES AND WARMER AIR WILL RETURN,
WITH TEMPERATURES RISING BACK INTO THE 50S AND 60S BY WEDNESDAY AND
LASTING THROUGH FRIDAY.
