While there's plenty of clouds around, we only have a small chance for a couple of sprinkles before daybreak. But wet weather is heading our way from a rainmaker, low pressure, out to the west of us.
After some morning sunshine on Saturday, it's increasing cloud cover and afternoon highs in the 80s! So, we'll feel summerlike as highs are expected in the low 80s! The record for October 18th is 86° set back in 1938.
As for the rain timeline, I can't rule out rain in the evening hours. This will mainly be a concern if you live east of I-75, especially in Indiana. More likely, rain and storms will develop ahead of the front from 9 p.m. to midnight.
The main line of showers and storms moves through overnight through mid-morning Sunday. This is when we could even see an isolated strong to severe storm. Damaging wind gusts are the severe weather concern. The Storm Prediction Center has our area in a "marginal risk" of severe storms.
The Sunday forecast is what we call a backward temperature day. The warmest air, highs in the mid-60s, happens in the overnight hours. Temperatures cool during the day. By Sunday afternoon, temperatures will be cooling into the mid to low 50s. Sunday is also going to be a windy day with winds from the southwest at 20 to 30 mph, gusting to 40 mph. And we aren't done with rain. We'll continue to see spotty showers into the afternoon timeframe as well.
