#BOTS alert for next week.

 #BOTS fans should pay attention to next week and on Halloween. The National Weather Service in Indianapolis has this to say:

.LONG TERM /Sunday through Wednesday/...
Issued at 345 AM EDT Thu Oct 22 2020

Although, the forecast will start off with unsettled weather Monday
and Monday night as strong southeastward expanding Canadian high
forces yet another cold front southeast across central Indiana. Deep
moisture and moderately strong dynamics, including the area being in
the right rear quadrant of a 140 knot upper jet over southern
Ontario, suggests widespread and then good chance PoPs in the wake
of the cold front Monday and Monday night.

After that, not a lot of forcing as weakening Canadian high pressure
builds in. That said, would not rule out a shower or midweek with
cyclonic flow overhead.

Finally, late in the long term, the eyes will be focusing on a
potent upper vortex, that will be an early cold season wintry
weather maker over the southern Plains. At this point, the GFS is
trending way to fast so, so much so that even the GEFS is
discounted. Prefer the slower ECMWF and ECENS, that typically verify
better with these early cold season harbingers. That said, the blend
was painting small PoPs through most of the rest of the long term
and if there is precipitation around during the pre-dawn, some brief
non-accumulating snow could briefly mix in over northwestern
sections of central Indiana starting Monday night.

In general, thick cloud cover and thermals support 5 to 10 degree
below normal blend temperatures with afternoon highs mostly in the
50s and overnight lows in the 30s.
