Key Points – Thursday, October 26, 2017:
Synopsis: Good Thursday morning. Waking up to the coldest morning of the season so far with widespread frost across many areas, especially northern and eastern Indiana. A nicer day of weather is ahead with mostly sunny skies and a nice recovery in temperatures this afternoon in the 50s north to 60s south and west. A front moves through late tonight and through the day Friday, with falling temperatures expected. Showers look to move in along and behind the front Friday afternoon through Friday night, especially across the south and east half of the state, with a sharp cut-off to the northwest. As colder air filters in Friday night, enough cold air may catch up with the back-edge of the rain to see a few wet snow flakes before ending across eastern Indiana. Not expecting any accumulation nor any impact to roadways as temperatures will be too warm.
