283 FXUS63 KIWX 131710 AFDIWX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Northern Indiana 110 PM EDT Mon Oct 13 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... - Highs in the 70s are expected into Tuesday and again Friday into Saturday, with more seasonable temperatures in the 60s in between as well as for the weekend. - Chances for showers and possibly thunderstorms (30 to 55%) arrive for the weekend. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 252 AM EDT Mon Oct 13 2025 The ridge axis will flatten Tuesday night, then rebuild back to the west of the region as a weak trough passes to our NE. A cold front will drop into the area late Tuesday night, but majority of any precip (which will still be light) looks to fizzle as it arrives in our NW counties late Tuesday night, encountering a dry low level airmass. Model blends still holding onto slgt chc to chc pops in these area, which will be left alone for now. Temperatures will settle back to seasonable levels in the mid 60s Wed and mid 60s NE to low 70s SW as the heights begin to increase once again. The ridge axis will shift overhead Friday and then east Saturday with an increasing SW flow aloft allowing highs back into the low to mid 70s. As this flow continues, low level moisture will begin to increase as a longwave trough and series of waves attempt to bring shower and thunderstorm chances back into the forecast. Model blend introduced some low end likely pops in NW areas Sat into Sat evening, likely keying in on the more aggressive GFS with a stronger wave moving into the area vs majority of the trough still to the west on the ECMWF. Although this may be overdone, will leave it in as it is likely to keep changing in the coming days. Additional chances for rain will linger through the end of the period. && .AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY/...
