Today will be briefly milder as a nice southwesterly air flow develops and helps send temperatures close to 40 degrees for the city, itself. Though winds will be gusty, 40 degrees will seem awfully nice! Enjoy! It won’t last long though as our next major arctic front already has it’s eyes set on our region. In fact, we think snow showers and embedded heavier squalls arrive just prior to midnight. These will be short, but intense, bursts of snow and will be capable of producing white out conditions, as well as leading to a quick 1-2″ of fresh snow tonight for many across central Indiana.
Here’s a look at forecast radar tonight, showing the heavy bursts of snow during the overnight.
Winds will once again become a problem, gusting in excess of 30 MPH and helping drive in some dangerously cold air. We think we fall below zero early Monday morning (before the rush hour begins in earnest) and anticipate yet another horrible Monday morning commute.
This arctic air really tightens it’s grip heading into Tuesday and we think lows approach 15-20 degrees below zero Tuesday morning. Below zero readings make it as far south as the southern Appalachians.
We’ll deal with yet another, potentially more widespread, winter event late in the week. More on that in the coming days… Enjoy your Sunday!
