Week Ahead Outlook: Light Snow For Some This Evening; Tuesday Rain Followed By Another Blast Of Cold Air…

It’s another frigid start to the day with widespread lower to middle 10s across central Indiana. Even colder air resides across the eastern Ohio Valley with single digits over the fresh snowpack.

Today will feature quiet weather until later this evening when a weak clipper-like system slides southeast. This feature will help increase our cloud cover and result in a few light snow showers across the northern half of the state. Those snow showers may make it as far south as the I-70 corridor by evening before dissipating. Not expecting much, if any accumulation, locally, across central Indiana.

Quiet conditions will return as we open up the new week, but a fast moving storm system will result in increasing cloudiness through the day Monday and rain returning Monday evening into Tuesday.

In general, we anticipate this system to deposit somewhere between 0.50″ and 0.75″ Monday night into Tuesday morning.

Much colder air will follow the cold frontal passage for midweek, including a stretch of highs in the upper 20s and 30s and lows in the 10s.

The 2nd half of the week will feature well below average temperatures.

High pressure will supply dry and sunny weather as we get set to close the work week, and as we look ahead, it doesn’t appear as if our next storm system will impact the region until the 2nd half of next weekend.

Arctic Front Blows Into Town…

Periods of light snow will continue to move across central Indiana this morning. This is in advance of an arctic cold front that will blow through the state this afternoon. We’ve received reports of anywhere from an additional 1″ to 2″ associated with this wave of light snow during the overnight and early morning (please continue to send us your snow reports to bill@indywx.com or via Twitter @indywx)! The “system” snow will come to an end by early afternoon and give way to scattered snow showers/ localized squalls behind the arctic front into the evening.

The big story today will be the falling temperatures from around freezing (now) into the 10s by evening. Wind chill values will plummet to sub-zero levels by evening as arctic air pours into the region.

A couple of lingering snow showers will continue tomorrow morning (primarily across northeast and east-central Indiana) before sunshine takes hold. It’ll be a cold day with highs only expected to top out in the lower 20s after a low in the single digits for most of central Indiana. (Close to 20° below average for this time of year). The good news if you’re not a fan of the arctic air? Temperatures will moderate through the weekend and into early next week.

We’ll be back later this evening with a fresh long range update.
