The first of two cold fronts is sweeping through the state this evening. Temperatures are turning cold enough to combine with leftover moisture and light snow showers to result in…

We’re tracking two cold fronts as we open the new work week. The first will pass without a whole lot of fanfare this evening. However, the second boundary (the true arctic front) means business Tuesday afternoon/ evening.
We notice a band of mixed precipitation moving into central IN before sunrise. This will swing through the state, changing to rain as it does so, through the morning and into the early afternoon. The reason? Just enough mild air working in on southwesterly breezes ahead of the frontal boundary.
The front will pass through the city around or just after rush hour. Gusty winds and falling temperatures are ahead this evening.
By morning, most of central Indiana will awake to temperatures in the single digits.
The second front (true arctic boundary) will be barreling towards the state at this time and will pass Tuesday evening. It’ll hit like a “wall” with gusty winds, brief, but intense snow squalls, and plummeting temperatures.
Central Indiana will be greeted with temperatures nearing 10° below zero and wind chill values of 30° to 40° below zero Wednesday morning.
Please take this cold seriously and complete preparations today. Thankfully, milder times are ahead as we head into the weekend…

Light snow and flurries are on the radar this morning, but steadier snow will overspread central IN this afternoon and evening. In general, this will be a 1″ to 2″ event for most, but there could be a few 2″+ reports by the time things wind down around midnight. Southern IN can expect a dusting to perhaps 1″ in spots.

Light snow is flying across central Indiana this evening, but “light” is the key word here. For most, a dusting is all we’ll muster with this initial wave of energy.
As we move into the first half of the weekend, a more vigorous disturbance will track across the region. We’ll notice snow breaking out across southwest Indiana around lunchtime before the area of snow grows in overall coverage and intensity through the afternoon into the evening hours.
With a cold surface and temperatures in the mid to upper 20s as the snow falls, expect slick roadways across the region Saturday afternoon into the evening. While winds aren’t expected to be particularly strong, the “open country” may experience a few issues with blowing and drifting snow due to the dry, powdery nature.
Most of central Indiana, including Indianapolis, can anticipate 1″ to 2″ of snow with this event Saturday, but there will likely be a couple of 2″+ reports. Snow will diminish from southwest to northeast after midnight.
Attention will then shift to additional snow and severe cold early next week… More on that in the AM.
