1.) Light snow will try and spread towards central Indiana Thursday, but this will really run into dry air and struggle to make it into the area. Radars to our…

1.) It’s nice to see the sun for once. While we’ll still have mid and high level cloudiness to deal with later today, we’ll gladly take what we can get of the good ole vitamin D this time of the year!
2.) Rain over the Thursday-Friday period followed along very closely to what modeling suggested. Heaviest rains fell central and south.

Needless to say, we disagree strongly with the NAEFS and GFS ensembles:
Regardless, the future will tell!
