Melissa could cause trouble by Friday. She should be a full blown hurricane by then but her path is undetermined.
Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, November 2.
We might see snow between November 4 and November 11.
A Frost Advisory and a Freeze Watch for Monroe County Indiana.
This is it! This will mark the official end to the growing season.
The weather pattern is about to change in Bloomington over the next 48 hours.
If you haven't heard by now, a storm front is approaching our area for tomorrow. It looks like light rain and drizzle will be possible after 4:00pm while the main event starts after 8:00pm. The National Weather Service says we'll see a high of 81 degrees tomorrow. I find that hard to believe but we'll see.
Once the front passes, we'll see high temperatures in the 60's starting on Sunday.
That last week of October looks wild. Some models say cold and others say warm. The most exciting part will be a very large storm producing a bomb cyclogenesis on the last week of October. The GFS has a 973 Low centered over North Dakota. The Euro has a 978 Low centered over Montana. The CFS has a 987 Low over Minnesota. So we know something big is brewing for the last week of October.
November looks to be colder than average. I predict that we will see our first snowflakes by November 11th.
Enjoy the Covered Bridge Festival this weekend.
No frost tonight for Bloomington, Indiana.
We'll see a temperature around 39 degrees tonight. It has to be 36 degrees to have frost so that means we won't see any.
Some of the counties to our north are under a Frost Advisory. Lucky them!
The National Weather Service has posted historical data on the first frost and freeze for various locations in Indiana. You can find that here:

38 degrees for Thursday night!
How about that? I don't think there will be any widespread frost just yet but if the temperature is adjusted downward by 2 more degrees then we could see some frost.
Why are temperatures in the mid 80's in October?
It's because most of central Indiana is in a moderate drought. On one had, this keeps the humidity down. On the other hand, it allows the heat to take over.
The good news is that we should have some rain Monday night through Tuesday. That will cool us down a lot. Temperature should be in the 70's from Tuesday onwards next week. Then another cool down comes around October 20.
And who's ready for snow? The longe range computer models have snow showing up between Halloween and November 5th. We have had snow flurries on Halloween before so it's not unheard of.
Also, I am predicting that peak fall colors will occur in Monroe County Indiana on October 27, 2025.
