406 AM EDT Fri Oct 17 2025
.DISCUSSION...High pressure over the Great Lakes this morning will slide off
to the east of the Appalachians by this afternoon, causing winds to veer
from easterly to southeasterly today. Scattered high clouds this morning will
increase in coverage through the afternoon and evening hours, limiting mixing
potential somewhat. On Saturday, a cold front will approach the region from the
northwest, with southwest winds bringing warm air into the area ahead of the
front. Temperatures should warm into the 80s Saturday afternoon across southern
IN and central KY, with breezy winds of 10 to 15 mph and gusts of 20 to 30 mph
likely. The cold front will pass through the region late Saturday night into
Sunday morning, bringing a chance for showers and thunderstorms, a few of which
could be strong to severe. Much cooler temperatures and continued windy conditions
are expected on Sunday.
