Rain Mixes With And Changes To Snow Overnight; 2 Shots Of Late Season Arctic Air…

Updated 03.11.23 @ 6:40a

Today will be a quiet and calm weather day across the region. It’s not until we get into the late evening hours when precipitation will overspread central IN from the west. We target an arrival of light rain into the area between 9p and 11p west to east. This light rain should then increase in intensity and begin to transition to wet snow towards midnight, continuing into and through the mid morning hours Sunday.

With only marginally cold temperatures in place and a lack of overly heavy precipitation rates, the thought here is that wet snow accumulation will be in the dusting to 1” range for the bulk of central IN. North of the city, including northern ‘burbs stand a better shot of 1”-2” of wet snow accumulation.

Our attention then shifts to the cold. A couple blasts of late season arctic air will plunge into central IN Monday and Tuesday (lows in the lower 20s and highs in the upper 30s), followed by another cold blast St. Patrick’s Day weekend. We’ll have to also monitor for the potential of additional snow prospects next weekend, but will get through this event first. Speaking of this event, snow should diminish in intensity and come to an end towards 8 to 9a and we don’t anticipate widespread pavement issues due to the recent relative warmth.
