High clouds spread into the area overnight and kept the temepratures in the upper 40s. Central Indiana has dropped to the lower and mid 30s and upper 30s have been seen about 40-50 miles north of Louisville.
The clouds will move south and we will have lots of sun this afternoon.

Well, it would appear there will be a nor'easter from about November 6th to the 10th. After which, it looks like the storm will head out to sea, but deepen to the point of creating a large wind field. I still see the arctic type of cold arriving in the area around the 17th, though the latest GFS model does not indicate the severity of cold that I expected.
