Looking Ahead To Christmas Week: Quiet; Warmer Than Average…
It’s been a whirlwind of a few days around these parts, but, thankfully for those with Christmas travel plans, that’s all about to change- at least from a weather stand point.
A cold front will sweep through the state Wednesday morning and we’ll get a glancing blow of arctic air midweek.
This, combined with a fresh snowpack, will result in many neighborhoods waking up Thursday morning to 10s, and a few single digit reports.
With us being on the “outer fringe” of this arctic airmass, we’ll quickly moderate back to “normal” mid-December cold late week and into the weekend. This will be a harbinger of things to come as Christmas week, itself, kicks off.
Note the expanding upper ridge from the Plains into the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes region.
This will do a couple of things: shove the energy that could have led to a weekend East Coast storm south and result in an unusually quiet and mild time of things, locally for the Christmas holiday.
In fact, with the exception of a couple light snow showers in association with Wednesday cold frontal passage, we’re talking about a precipitation-free stretch through Christmas Day. Not only will the active pattern come to an abrupt halt, but temperatures will begin to moderate to well above average levels by Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Highs around the 50° mark are likely.
The next chance of meaningful precipitation just come just after Christmas and likely take the form of rain.

Client Brief: Heavy Snow Bands Return Into The Overnight…
Type: Impactful Wintry Weather
What: Accumulating snow; mixed wintry precipitation
When: This evening into Tuesday morning
Temperatures: Lower to middle 30s, falling into the middle 20s Tuesday morning
Wind: Northeast shifting to the northwest Tuesday morning
Blowing/ Drifting: Minimal
Pavement Impacts: Plowing and salting will be required.
“Round 2″ is underway and we actually believe the overall snow shield will become more expansive with time through the late evening and overnight hours. Within this growing snow shield, embedded banding is expected that will include moderate to heavy snowfall rates. This continues to look like an I-70 special with respect to heaviest totals (7″ to 11″ range for storm totals). On either side of that heaviest snow zone, 4″ to 7” can be expected. On the north side, this is due to lighter intensity of snow (both with Part 1 and Part 2) and mixing issues on the south side.
Snow will exit the city just before daybreak, and southeast Indiana between 8a and 9a. Winds will shift to the northwest and an overall colder day is expected Tuesday, but at least we won’t have to worry about additional snow once past daybreak.
Cold air reinforcements will blow into town Wednesday with a couple snow showers across east-central Indiana. The bigger deal will be the cold, including temperatures that will remain stuck in the middle 20s through the daytime hours. Add in a stiff breeze and wind chill values will be in the 10s.
Confidence: High
Next Update: Tuesday morning
