Another chilly night, with a mostly clear sky.  Lows will drop again into the 40s.  Thursday, warmer, with increasing wind.  High 73 under a partly cloudy sky.  Thursday night, more clouds, not as chilly, but a chance for showers and thundershowers.  Low 54.

I was checking out some pics and came across this one from the Chicago Triathlon this year. (Shout out-thanks Glom for the host housing a mile off the course!!!) I thought it was pretty cool, because if you look at the two athletes in the pic, it really shows how cool and unique the sport of triathlon is. In the foreground, you have a lady racing her race, and in the background, you have me racing mine. We are both going at our paces-I’m hammering it down, and I’m sure she’s giving it hers too. This race started in waves, with the first one going off really early and the last one going out about 3 hours later, maybe even 4-super huge race! I think they had 4,300 people in the Olympic distance race and I came in around 200 something. Anyway, there aren’t too many sports in the world that age-group, elites, pros, and the first-timer can all be competing on the same course at the same time. What a great sport! Can you imagine if football or basketball was like this? Ouch!

I often hear people comment on how crazy triathletes are, and I think we’re just crazy about life! Go out and get yours today, like the lady in the picture. It’s your life…live it.

Partly cloudy skies will be around today with cool north winds. Temperatures will stay below average topping out in the mid to upper 60’s this afternoon and falling into the lower 40’s by Thursday morning. Rain showers will move back in late Thursday evening and last through Saturday as temperatures warm up into the lower 70’s Thursday afternoon and into the mid to upper 60’s Friday and Saturday.

The chill of Autumn is settling in, at least for now.  Tonight and tomorrow night will have lows in the lower 40s.  By the end of the week, temperatures will be higher, but there is no question Fall has descended.

A cold front that moved through last night is pulling cooler air into our area. There is a wind advisory for our central Indiana counties until 8pm EDT. Winds were reported gusting at 31mph in Terre Haute.

Here is a current wind gust report:

Tonight mostly cloudy, breezy and chilly. Lows in the mid 40s and a wind from the west at 20mph.

Tomorrow decreasing clouds, breezy and cooler. Highs around 60 with a wind from the northwest at 15mph.

Gusty winds and cooler temperatures are the big weather story today as an area of low pressure slides just to the north and east of the Wabash Valley. West winds will continue to bring in colder temperatures for the next couple of days but will stay very gusty today with gusts near 45 mph! Temperatures will fall into the upper 50’s during the morning hours and will try to warm back up into the lower 60’s by this afternoon. Temperatures will drop into the mid 40’s tonight under partly cloudy skies before only warming up to around 60° for Tuesday afternoon.
