(Note: If the rain misses Indianapolis, it will be the driest October on record. We think there is a high chance of at least 0.1" to 0.2" for Indianapolis.)

Other than an early isolated shower, the vast majority rain will come into Indiana near or after sunrise. This front will spark a line of rain and storms in the Plains and march east toward Indiana Halloween morning.

Rain zones - 4 a.m. to 8 a.m.

Most of the heavy rain will just start to enter western Indiana, especially up in the region, before sunrise. There is also a slightly elevated rain chance south of Indianapolis for some isolated showers developing ahead of the main line.

Slowly, western Indiana will dry out with spotty light showers. Eastern Indiana will begin to get heavier rain after lunch time. By this time the severe threat will lower.

Now, we are talking about afternoon practices and trick-or-treating. Much of the western half of Indiana will dry out. Expect a mix of sun and clouds, plus northwest winds 20-25 mph, to start drying off roads and sidewalks. Temperatures will start to quickly drop.

Rain may still continue in the evening for eastern and southern Indiana; however it should be light and spotty by this time.

This one is tough. Western Indiana may get more consistent rainfall as the line of rain and storms tries to hold. As the line weakens, rainfall may range more to the east. There may be some Hoosiers that do not pick up a lot of rain. However, this is our best chance in over a month since the remnants of Hurricane Helene.

However, rainfall is tricky depending on how the line holds together or falls apart slowly over time. We may see widely ranging amounts.

Impact on Trick-Or-Treating

We are thinking much of the rain clears out in time for Halloween evening for western and central Indiana. There may still be some wet sidewalks, but they should be drying out.

Eastern Indiana and southern Indiana will still be on the lookout for leftover spotty rain showers. The rain shouldn't be too heavy, but some rain at times is still possible until 8 p.m. After 8 p.m., most of Indiana should be dry.

The wind and temperature drop will be some of the bigger factors. After 6 p.m., expect to start dropping to the 50s. Winds may make it feel a bit colder. Expect a mix of partly cloudy skies for the evening.
