On Halloween night, homies will be out trick-or-treating as ghouls, monsters, and several Deadpools. In Indiana, however, where temperatures may drop from “chill” to bone-chilling more quickly than you can finish a snack-sized Kit-Kat, they will be doing just that.
Last year’s Halloween in Indianapolis was snowy. Even though the outlook for 2024 appears to be moderate thus far, our Midwest weather could still surprise us.
Here is what we now know about the prediction for this year and what the Hoosiers can probably anticipate by the end of October.
