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…

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

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

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
