Busy, Busy (And Snowy)…

Screen Shot 2016-01-19 at 7.38.59 AMHighlights:

  • Another frigid start
  • Snow develops tonight
  • Watching late week winter storm potential

Snowy Commute Ahead Wednesday Morning…Back-to-back wintry events will impact at least portions of the region in the coming days.  Before we talk snow, we’ll enjoy sunshine this morning before clouds begin to increase, thicken, and lower later today.  Those clouds spell snow during the overnight and we still think snow will come down at a good clip for an hour, or two just before the morning rush (horrible timing, I know).  A couple inches still looks like a good bet in, and around, Indy, with heavier totals off to the south.

We’ll go through a break in the action Wednesday afternoon, but all eyes at that point will already be focused to our SW.  A developing winter storm will take shape in Texas Thursday and track northeast into the TN Valley Friday.  Eventually the energy will transfer to a new area of low pressure east of the Appalachians that will create blizzard conditions across the mountains, Mid Atlantic, and portions of the Northeast late week.  That said, enough of a reflection of the initial low should track up west of the mountains and help spread moisture far enough north to impact southern and southeastern parts of our region Thursday night into Friday.  (A slight continued NW jog is still possible).  It’s far too early to discuss amounts, but know that this could be an impactful event for some, particularly across southern and southeastern IN.

Dry and cold conditions will return for the weekend before we eye the potential of additional wintry “mischief” next week…
