Abnormally warm over the next 10 days with very little to no rainfall at all across the US grain belt as harvest efforts will be in full send! Ideal weather to get the crops out of the ground over the next 6-10 days before possibly a bigger front comes around Halloween. The Halloween storm system is heavily dependent on what happens with typhoon Champi in the western Pacific Ocean. If it heads west it's likely continued warm and dry if the storm recurves like some of our AI models are hinting at a bigger front with rain and a big cold shot is in the forecast. Check back!

The severe weather threat has come to an end, but a major air mass change is about to begin! Dew points in the 70s tonight across the region will plummet behind a powerful cold front with values dropping throughout the day on Friday. Then dew points will fall all the way into the 20s by Saturday afternoon. That's an incredible 40 degree drop in dew point in less than 48 hours near Indianapolis!

A powerful cold front sweeping across the Midwest and Ohio Valley will bring a widespread surge of gusty winds on Friday! Wind gusts of 30-40 MPH are expected across much of the region with locally higher gusts of 40-50 MPH possible, especially across portions of the Northern Plains.
