Latest short-term, high resolution, models are showing what’s taking shape nicely this morning. We think the city and points north will undergo a period of moderate to heavy snow from late morning into the early afternoon hours.
Within the highlighted area, we think snowfall rates will approach 1″ per hour between 10a-2p. Yes, within that (4) hour time period, don’t be surprised if a few reports come in with 3-4 additional inches of snow atop what’s already fallen, particularly across the northern half of the highlighted area.
Here’s a look at the latest HRRR model simulated radar showing the swath of moderate to heavy snow coming over the next few hours. Again, high snowfall rates will make plowing duties difficult so if you must travel, please take things slow.
South-central Indiana will see dramatically less snow due to mixing issues (as forecast) and the dry slot that is arriving now. The track of the upper low should lock moderate to heavy snow into central and north-central Indiana into the early to mid afternoon. All of the snow will then begin to diminish and move northeast during the early to mid afternoon, as our storm system departs. This will then allow northwest winds to strengthen and become gusty this evening, with cold air pouring back into the region.
