Key messages
- Dry and unseasonably high temperatures to continue through Friday, afternoon highs in the 70s.
- A wetter pattern may take shape for the Halloween weekend.
.DISCUSSION (Today through Tuesday): Issued at 247 AM EDT Wed Oct 28 2026
Surface analysis early this morning shows strong high pressure over New England, maintaining control of the weather across points east of the Mississippi. A weak upper trough was found over WI and IL, pushing east. Ahead of this trough an area of clouds were seen across Indiana, while water vapor showed subsidence in the wake of the trough over IA/IL and the southern plains. Winds were light to calm across central Indiana dew points were in the upper 40s or lower 50s.
Today and Tonight:
More above normal temperatures and more sunshine is expected across Central Indiana today. Weak ridging aloft is expected to push across Central Indiana today as the clouds and upper trough over the area depart early this morning. This will lead to a mostly sunny day and continued warm temperatures. The surface high pressure system to the east will continue to provide a warm an southerly flow of air to Central Indiana, allowing highs to reach the middle 70s and a few upper 70s. Time heights and forecast soundings show a dry column today and tonight with subsidence in play.
Thursday and Friday: .
West to southwest flow is expected to be in place on Thursday, transitioning to a upper ridge on Friday. Little to no forcing dynamics are in expected to pass on Thursday. The upper ridge looks to protect Indiana from any forcing on Friday. Meanwhile at the surface, a cold front will drop out of the upper midwest on Thursday afternoon and stall over Central Indiana. This really is a the tail of the front extending well into Quebec and there is little forcing or moisture associated with it, as it is more of a cusp between two high pressure systems. Forecast soundings through this period show a few clouds on Thursday night, but never come close to saturation. Thus more dry and warm weather will be expected. Southwest flow ahead of the front on Thursday will allow for highs to reach the upper 70s to around 80 on Thursday, with cooler values expected in the wake of the front for Friday.
Saturday through Tuesday:
The upper pattern during this time suggests upper ridging over the plains on Saturday, pushing through Indiana on Sunday and Monday before reaching the east coast by Tuesday. As the flow become more southwesterly on the windward side of the ridge on Sunday through Tuesday, models suggest waves of upper forcing embedded within the flow pushing toward Indiana. Furthermore, Isentropic surfaces show an ongoing pattern of broad lift. Within the lower levels, high pressure is suggested to over the eastern Great Lakes and Middle Atlantic states on Saturday and Sunday before pushed off the coast for Monday and Tuesday. The lower level east or southeasterly flow will allow for an overrunning setup on Saturday through Monday. By Tuesday, a deeper low pressure system over the southern plains is suggested to set up allowing an associated warm front to reside over Central IL and Indiana. Best chances for rain at this time look to be Sunday, Sunday Night and Tuesday, but with all these ingredients in place through this period, smaller chances cannot be ruled out yet on late Saturday and Monday. Due to the cloud cover and precipitation during the period, expect lows in the 50s, but highs mainly reaching only the mid to upper 60s. Normal high temperatures for this time of year is in the upper 50s.
.AVIATION (06Z TAF Issuance): Issued at 1243 AM EDT Wed Oct 28 2026
Impacts:
- Mainly VFR conditions are expected this TAF period.
Discussion:
GOES19 shows a wave of upper clouds associated with an upper trough pushing across the TAF sites. These clouds should exit to the east overnight, allowing for a return to unlimited cigs and continued VFR conditions. Fog will not be expected overnight as dew point depressions remain higher than previous days and clouds prevent max cooling.
Ridging aloft on Wednesday along with surface high pressure settled east of Indiana will result in more dry weather for Indiana. Forecast soundings through the day suggest a dry column and little to no cloud cover is seen upstream in the wake of the departing mid and high clouds. Thus VFR.
