Ice Storm For Some Sunday Evening; Late Night Thoughts…

Just a quick update to give you some fresh thoughts on the next winter storm that will impact central Indiana.

We bracket the hours of 1p-3p for the onset of sleet and freezing rain across central Indiana.

Coverage and intensity of freezing rain will increase as we progress through the evening hours.  We suggest hunkering down at home (or at a loved ones home) for the Colts game, as roadways will likely become hazardous during the game.

Early data hot off the press this evening is suggesting Ice Storm Warning criteria (freezing rain amounts of 0.25″, or greater) is met through the heart of central Indiana.

A fresh push of cold, arctic, air will ooze back into central Indiana during the day Monday. We think overnight lows head back into the single digits Tuesday morning and below zero Wednesday morning.  Needless to say, should power outages take place, a nasty situation will develop with the new push of cold air.

Please stay tuned to your favorite media or means of obtaining weather information, as this will be an impactful event for central Indiana tomorrow afternoon into Monday.

Dangerous Cold Coming Along With Significant Blowing And Drifting…

The snow storm that moved through northern and central Indiana deposited half a foot, or more, of “champaign powder” for the northern Indianapolis suburbs overnight into this morning with amounts tapering dramatically further south.

Left behind will be a day that will provide “decent” conditions for digging out.  We’ll introduce sunshine and temperatures will be downright “balmy” when compared to what blows into town tonight.  Though well below average, today’s high in the lower 20s will feel like a heat wave when we look ahead to the upcoming couple days.

Things begin to change in a big way tonight as arctic air invades.  Additionally, winds will increase and lead to all sorts of blowing and drifting concerns.  This dry/ powdery snow will be blown about quite easily and lead to reduced visibilities tonight and Wednesday along with significant drifting.  Some additional light snow will accompany the initial arctic push tonight.
