Wintry Mix To Rain Saturday; Snow And Bitter Air Next Week…

Tonight’s video update covers the upcoming 7-day period.  A very brief shot of mild air will result in a change from early morning freezing rain Saturday to an all rain event before switching back to light snow Sunday as colder air moves in.  This is only the beginning of a very cold week ahead, complete with the chance of accumulating snow Monday night into Tuesday.

Forecast radar suggests a brief period of freezing rain can be expected during the wee morning hours Saturday.

Fresh Arctic Air…Arctic air is on the move this morning and will result in a bitterly cold close to 2014.  This arctic air may be accompanied by a snow flurry or scattered snow shower later this afternoon (especially across northeast and east-central Indiana).  The bigger story will be the bitter feel to the air as wind chills fall to around zero tonight and Wednesday morning.

Dry, but frigid conditions remain New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.  If you plan on ringing 2015 in downtown Wednesday night, be sure to be prepared for the cold and dress warmly!

Weekend Storm System…We continue to track a storm system for the weekend, but more questions than answers remain on precise track and timing and will have a huge impact on precipitation types and amounts.  For now we forecast a wintry “potpourri” of rain, sleet, and snow Friday night into Saturday, tapering to backlash flurries Sunday.  Stay tuned.

Eyes On Clippers…Indications are that we may get into a rather busy clipper pattern next week.  The first of possibly two clippers may deliver snow Monday night into Tuesday.  Cold weather continues.

Highlights:

  • Saturday Showers
  • Arctic Air Pours In To Close 2014
  • Bigger Storm Late Next Week

Showers Around…The first round of light rain moved through central Indiana during the early morning hours and has now pushed into extreme eastern portions of the state and into Ohio.  While low clouds and areas of fog will remain, we should be dry through a large portion of the late morning into the early afternoon. Showers will then redevelop later this afternoon and tonight as a cold front draws closer.  We’re not looking at any sort of heavy rain and temperatures will be mild for this time of year.

Colder Air Pushes In To Close 2014…A cold front will move through the area early Sunday.  Cold air may help change light rain to a light wintry mix/ snow flurries before coming to an end Sunday morning.  The bigger story will be a much colder air mass that will push south and lead to a cold close to 2014 (fitting, considering the year as a whole has been colder than normal).  Unfortunately for snow lovers out there we won’t have any moisture around to lead to snowy times.

Storm System Brews Late Next Week…A significant storm system is on the charts by Friday, but we want to be very clear when we say that the range of model solutions varies from a warmer and mostly wet event to one that’s much colder and primarily a winter storm.  Which solution is correct?  That’s virtually impossible to say at this point.  One could actually argue for and against the wide range of possibilities with some of the pattern developments and teleconnections as of late.  Stay tuned.

  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.20″ – 0.40″
  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: Dusting – 1″
