From the NWS:
.LONG TERM /Friday through Monday/... Issued at 340 AM EDT Tue Oct 3 2017 An active and unsettled weather pattern will continue through much of the extended as the cold front remains draped across the region into early next week. The convective threat will be primarily focused over northern portions of the forecast area on Friday and Friday night in closer proximity to the boundary. Decent extended model agreement exists on a sharp upper wave ejecting out of the northern Plains on Friday and tracking into the Great Lakes Saturday while steadily strengthening. The upper wave will help to generate a surface low along the boundary which will rapidly intensify on Saturday as it cuts across the Great Lakes. A trailing cold front will be drawn through central Indiana Saturday afternoon and evening as a result with the potential for stronger convection to accompany the boundary. Model consensus favoring the deepening low pressure lifting north-northeast towards James Bay rapidly Saturday night with the frontal boundary getting left behind over the Ohio Valley. Confidence lowers from this point forward as several factors could contribute to additional rain and convection impacting the region into early next week. Some model agreement starting to show regarding tropical development over the Gulf of Mexico this weekend. The system is expected to lift north near or just east of the Mississippi River by late Sunday and eventually get drawn into the Tennessee and possibly Ohio Valleys by Monday as it interacts with yet another wave kicking east into the region. The remnant boundary could serve as a focus for additional showers and thunderstorms with higher pops once again warranted for Sunday night and Monday. The front will sweep the low lifting out of the Gulf off to the east by early Tuesday. Temperatures will remain largely above normal through the weekend with highs ranging from the mid 70s to lower 80s. The departure of the front just outside the 7 day will enable a strong Canadian high pressure to expand across the Midwest. Trends support much cooler weather across central Indiana by the middle of next week.
