COLD START TO THE WEEKEND! 🥶 If you have been waiting for a return to colder weather, the next couple of days are just for you! Saturday morning will bring widespread temperatures in the 20s and 30s across the region, with portions of the Mid-Mississippi River Valley likely experiencing their first freeze of the season! Daytime temperatures won't offer much of a warm-up either. Highs on Saturday will top out in the low to mid-50s across much of the region, making for a chilly start to the weekend! Time to break out those jackets! 🍂 #INwx #ILwx #OHwx #MIwx #WIwx

🌧️ MUCH-NEEDED RAINFALL HEADED OUR WAY THIS WEEK! It's been exceptionally mild and dry across much of the region recently, allowing drought conditions to expand over the last several weeks. Fortunately, some much-needed rainfall is finally in the forecast! An active weather pattern, with multiple disturbances moving through the region, will bring several opportunities for rain this week. By the end of the week, widespread rainfall accumulations are expected, with 0.50–1.00" across much of Illinois, central and southern Indiana, and southern Ohio. Some areas south of the Ohio River could see even higher totals, with 1–2" of rainfall possible! While this won't eliminate ongoing drought concerns, it should provide some beneficial relief to areas that have been running very dry. We'll continue to monitor rainfall trends and keep you updated! 🌧️ #INwx #ILwx #OHwx #MIwx #WIwx

🌧️ A WET START TO NOVEMBER! A soggy start to November is in the forecast across the Midwest! 🌧️ A strong area of low pressure and an associated cold front are expected to bring rain and thunderstorms to the region next week. 📍 Current projections suggest 1–3 inches of rainfall over the next 7 days across portions of Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, and Kentucky, with locally higher amounts possible. Stay tuned as we continue to monitor the timing and track of this developing storm system! 🌦️ #INwx #ILwx #OHwx #KYwx

NOVEMBER STARTS OFF ACTIVE? It’s been a quiet and mild stretch of weather across the Midwest, but that could quickly change as we head into November. Forecast data continues to suggest a strong area of low pressure developing and moving from the Rockies east/northeastward across United States from November 1–3. While the exact track and intensity of this system will ultimately determine where the greatest impacts occur, there is the potential for widespread rain, areas of heavy rain, strong thunderstorms, and even strong non-thunderstorm winds across portions of the region. There is still plenty of uncertainty this far out, but this is a system we’ll be watching closely as we get closer to the forecast period. November could be starting off with a much different weather pattern than what we’ve experienced recently! #INwx #ILwx #OHwx #MIwx #WIwx
