01.26.21 Weather Bulletin: Shot Of Southern Light Snow; Bigger Weekend Event?

Updated 01.26.21 @ 8:09a

Socked In…Low clouds and areas of drizzle will remain with us for the better part of the day. As colder air filters back in this evening, a few flurries may mix with the drizzle as the moisture departs.

Our attention will then shift to upper level energy that will race east Wednesday and Wednesday night. This feature will skirt the southern portion of the state and squeeze out some light snow Wednesday afternoon and early evening. “Light” is the key word, but places from Vincennes over to Madison and points south could accumulate around an inch of snow. A dusting to half an inch may make it as far north as Bloomington and surrounding areas, but the lack of moisture, combined with forward momentum with this system will make it tough to get anything meaningful for most of the region.

Colder air will filter into the state Wednesday night and should be enough to fire up scattered snow showers for all into Thursday morning. Sunshine will return Friday (the “calm before the (bigger) storm”).

Saturday may open with early morning sunshine, but clouds will quickly thicken up and lower as low pressure heads this direction out of the central Plains. An overrunning event will ensue by Saturday afternoon. With cold air still entrenched, we’re talking about a big ole mix bag of sleet and snow to begin. This will require close attention as models have been trending colder as of late and the flavor of our weekend forecast will follow suit. The potential is there for several inches of snow/ sleet Saturday before precipitation possibly ends as drizzle Sunday morning. For now (especially given how the snow season has gone thus far) we’ll bracket for the possibility of 1″-3″, but just know this system has an upside. 🙂

Colder air will whip in here Sunday afternoon and Monday with wrap-around moisture ending as snow and snow showers. Stay tuned.

Quiet Period Of Weather Into Early Next Week…

Although we’re dealing with areas of drizzle, low clouds, and fog this morning, a relatively quiet period of weather is ahead as we put a wrap on the week and head through the weekend.  At one time what I thought would be a more significant storm system and associated eastern wintry threat won’t come to fruition.  While the eastern seaboard will deal with rain Friday into Saturday, we should remain free of any significant precipitation here on the home front.

Weak high pressure will keep us dry with increasing sunshine through the weekend.

Our next storm system will arrive as we open up next week and we’ll forecast increasing rain chances next Monday.  From this distance, moisture return isn’t terribly impressive and rainfall amounts should remain generally in the 0.25″ to 0.75″ range.

Colder air will follow behind this storm system with more authority and those wishing and hoping for legitimate wintry conditions may finally have their wish as we get closer to mid month.  Speaking of cold and wintry times, we’ll have more on our updated long range thoughts later this week.

Wet Weekend Gives Way To A Drier Open To The New Week…

Today will feature a continuation of gloomy conditions, including areas of fog and drizzle- especially this morning.

Thankfully, most of central Indiana will get a break from significant rainfall through the majority of our Friday, but a new batch of steady to occasionally heavy rain will build in overnight into the day Saturday.

Forecast radar 2a Saturday.

Forecast radar 10a Saturday.

We’ll add thunderstorms into the forecast Saturday night into the predawn hours Sunday as a deepening surface low tracks into the Great Lakes and sweeps a cold front through the state Sunday morning.  A couple of these storms could become strong across central Indiana and even severe downstate.  As such, the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has included the southern half of Indiana in a “marginal” risk of severe during this time period.  We’ll keep a close eye on models over the next 24 hours as it’s possible this marginal and slight risk may need to be expanded further north.

Forecast radar 7p Saturday.

Forecast radar 1a Sunday.

Thankfully, drier air will quickly sweep into the state Sunday afternoon and this should allow sunshine to return as we close the weekend.  Beforehand, additional rainfall of 1″ to 2″ will be widespread across central Indiana with locally heavier totals.

High pressure will settle overhead to open the new work week, allowing for a quieter time of things before a new active period develops by the middle of the week…
