Snow is on the way out, but not after dumping a quick 3″ to 4″ for northern suburbs and other parts of north-central Indiana. As we look ahead, the moderating…

Snowy Thursday Night-Early Friday Morning On Tap…

Brief: Accumulating Snow

Forecaster: McMillan


What: Accumulating snow

When: This evening into the predawn hours Friday

Temperatures: 15 to 18 F

Wind: ESE 5-15 MPH

Blowing/ drifting: Minimal

Attention will shift from the dangerous cold to an accumulating snow event across central and north-central Indiana this evening into the predawn hours Friday. We expect snow to begin reaching the surface (may take a little longer than models suggest due to the dry air in place initially) in western portions of the viewing area between 6p-7p and into central Indiana between 8p and 9p. Heaviest snow still looks to fall during the hours of 10p and 3a. Banding may result in periods of moderate to heavy snow during this time frame. Light snow will be ongoing across southeast Indiana around 7a Friday before departing the state shortly thereafter.

Confidence: High

Next Update: 6:30p Thursday

Snowy Thursday Evening-Friday Morning…

Brief: Accumulating Snow

Forecaster: McMillan

What: Accumulating snow

When: Thursday evening into the predawn hours Friday

Temperatures: 15 to 20 F

Wind: ESE 5-15 MPH

Blowing/ drifting: Minimal

Dangerous cold is the story now, but we still expect an accumulating snow to pile up to the tune of a few to several inches across n-central and parts of central Indiana Thursday evening into the predawn hours Friday. Heaviest snow should fall during a period between 8p and 1a. Snowfall intensity will likely reach 1″/ hr at times as banding develops. We expect all accumulating snow to be over before sunrise Friday morning.

Confidence: Medium to high

Next Update: 6:30p Thursday

Accumulating Snow Thursday Evening…

Brief: Accumulating Snow

Forecaster: McMillan

What: Accumulating snow

When: Thursday evening into the predawn hours Friday

Temperatures: Mid-upper 10s

Wind: SE 5-15 MPH

Blowing/ drifting: Minimal

Cold will grab the headlines over the next couple of days, including dangerous wind chill values, but attention will then shift to the potential of a “thump” of snow Thursday evening into early Friday.  A disturbance will dive southeast into the state during this time frame and early indications would suggest the “sweet spot” for snowfall accumulations will encompass the heart of central and north-central Indiana (early idea would place a 2” to 4” swath of snow in this area).

Confidence: Medium to high

Next Update: 6:30a Wednesday
