The storm system that looked like it may provide central Indiana accumulating snow earlier this week is, indeed, remaining south. Portions of southern parts of the state will see light…

Forecast Updated: 03.15.14 @ 8:53a
Nice Today; MUCH Colder Sunday. . .Today will easily be the pick of the weekend as mostly sunny skies dominate along with seasonable temperatures. Get outside and enjoy!
We continue to watch a southern storm system for the second half of the weekend and while model data trended north Thursday, the common theme most of Friday into this morning has been back south. As such, we’ll lean towards a less snowy forecast Sunday for central Indiana, but note if you have travel plans to the southern third of the state that accumulating snow and ice will greet you Sunday. Here across central Indiana look for a rather cloudy and MUCH colder day. In fact, temperatures won’t even make it to the freezing mark with a very strong east to northeast wind in play. Winds may gust as high as 35 MPH Sunday afternoon, making it feel like the single digits and teens.
Relatively Quiet Week. . .Modeling continues to struggle with the timing and strength of storm systems in the week ahead, but current thinking takes the storm track primarily north of our area next week, meaning less impact (from rain or snow chances) here. We caution that this can change and we’ll keep a close eye on things, but we’re trending our forecast towards a quieter one for now. The next system of note will be a fast moving low pressure area and associated cold front that will pass here Tuesday into Wednesday. A scattered shower and wind shift will occur with this system, but, as stated above, the majority of the more significant “weather” will lie to our north.
A brief warming trend to well above normal temperatures may carry us to close out the work week before the next systems eyes our area later next weekend.

I know many are saying thankfully we aren’t dealing with this kind of weather today. After a harsh winter, it’s always nice to see the sunshine and milder temperatures return. Today we take you back to a snowy Zionsville from February 17th. This shot was taken by Janet Baker. Thanks, Janet!

Forecast Update 03.14.14 @ 7:45a
Nice Close To The Work Week. . .A weak frontal system will blow through the region later this afternoon and this may spark a light shower south and east of the city. All in all, it won’t be a big deal and won’t put a damper on an otherwise beauty of a close to the work week. Gusty southwest winds will help temperatures zoom into the upper 50s to near 60 for afternoon highs.
Sunday Snow Storm Brewing? That’s the big question this morning. Model data continues to trend north and west with this storm system and we’re keeping a close eye on things. The set up is one that features a late season arctic high over the Great Lakes region Sunday with developing low pressure moving out of Texas and into the TN Valley. Yes, we’ll have the cold and the moisture…
We know Sunday will be a MUCH colder and windy day, but we’re trending our forecast snowier, as well. Best chances of snow arrive Sunday afternoon into Sunday night. While there’s still some question in regards to the northern extent of the snow shield, the northwest trend may not be done just yet. As a result, we feel central Indiana is very much in play for accumulating snow Sunday afternoon through Sunday night. Stay tuned.
Another Storm. . .Another storm system will arrive Tuesday into Wednesday and modeling continues to struggle on this event, as well. We’ll leave the forecast relatively unchanged for Tuesday and Wednesday now. After we deal with Sunday we’ll be able to get a better handle on the Tuesday/ Wednesday storm system.

While we remain in a overall colder than normal pattern, spring, obviously, has to get here one day, right?! The past week has seen an increase in spring at least “flirting” with the region for brief 24-36 hour time periods and this will continue over the upcoming week.
We remain concerned about a potential shot of well below normal cold to open April, but we thought it would be nice to talk about something pleasant for a change. 
We’re keeping a close eye on next weekend, March 22nd and 23rd, for the potential first 70 degree + type day at IND this year.
The latest ensembles aren’t shying away from a significant, though transient, ridge building in during this time period.
Note the GFS showing the transient, though significantly, warmer than normal air that would likely occur in this type pattern. 70 degrees + would certainly be attainable.
See, we don’t just provide doom and gloom (though this past winter may seem that way) at IndyWx.com!
