INDIANAPOLIS — It's been quite the dry spell in Indianapolis and central Indiana. To date, it's the second driest first three weeks of October in Indy, with just .09" rainfall.
The streak actually began on Sept. 25 and it marks the driest during that time since record-keeping began in Indy back in 1871.
No rain in sight Sunday — just unseasonably mild air with highs nearing 80° in the afternoon, courtesy of sunshine and a balmy, gusty breeze from the south.
Nearly a repeat performance on Monday, though there will likely be some additional cloud cover with just a slight rain chance.
We're eyeing Tuesday into Wednesday morning as our next best chance of rainfall with an approaching cold front and a low-pressure system.
Rain amounts are to be determined, but some modeling suggests the possibility of over a quarter-inch. We'll fine-tune the timing and amounts as we get closer.
For now, enjoy the balmy Sunday if you're a fan of warmer temperatures. If not, that front will deliver cooler air for mid to late week, but nothing terribly cold with near-normal values.
