OUR NEXT FIRST ALERT: A cold front will pass through the region on Thursday. This will bring our next chance of first alert rain to Michiana. A good glass of water will come with this system mid-week. Most of the area will receive nearly half an inch of rain. We will dry out Friday and Saturday with highs in the mid to upper 50s. There is a small chance of a shower or two as we close out the upcoming weekend with another cold front. We see several high temperatures in the 40s late next week and through Thanksgiving week as part of the 16-day outlook. Our first snow showers of the season are also likely at this time. Although no severe storm systems are on the horizon between now and Thanksgiving.
