Rain will scatter out this morning but it will become widespread again later today and tonight.
Today will be the last day of mild temperatures before cold air settles in for a while.
After an initial cool down late this week, there is a potential for Arctic air to move into central Indiana next week, including near Christmas. This would bring much below-normal temperatures and sub-zero wind chills. Follow future forecasts for updates on the cold potential.
