  • Breezy northwest flow persists with gusts around 20 mph keeping a fall-like feel in place.
  • The Beach Hazard Statement has ended for most northwest Indiana beaches, but it remains in effect for LaPorte County through Tuesday.
  • Only isolated lake-effect showers may brush northwest Indiana before a cold front brings a better chance of showers and a few storms Wednesday night into Thursday.
