Brief Break From The Severe Cold, But Not For Long…Today will be the “pick of the week” as milder air and some sunshine lead to a decent Wednesday. (It’s funny we say “milder” with highs that barely rise above our average low, but we’ll take what we can get).
A clipper system will impact the region tonight through Thursday and spread light snow across the area. This won’t be a big deal, but accumulations around 1″ will be possible (perhaps an isolated 2″ report here or there). The bigger deal? Fresh bitterly cold arctic air pushing in here to wrap up the work week and head into the weekend. Record-smashing cold and dangerous wind chills will be with us.
The next storm system will spread snow and a wintry mix through central Indiana Saturday night into Monday morning. As we mentioned last night, this is a fluid situation and it’s still far too early for specifics. That said, central Indiana is very much in play for another accumulating wintry event this weekend.
A final piece of energy will deliver more precipitation early next week. As of now we forecast a wintry mix of snow and sleet to transition to rain as milder air pushes in from the southwest Tuesday. Again- much can still change.
