Brighter Mid Week. . .After a cold and snowy Tuesday, sunshine returns today and will help temperatures get a boost…somewhat. Average high temperatures are in the upper 50s this time of the year and we’ll struggle to eclipse the 40 degree mark today. That said, we’ll concentrate on the improvement from Tuesday. Additionally, we’ll notice a strengthening southwesterly breeze during the afternoon, including gusts that may top 20 MPH.

Late Week Storm System. . .Low pressure will lift out of the Plains and into the Great Lakes Thursday. A warm front will lift north through our area early Thursday morning and will be accompanied by a quick burst of rain (potentially mixed with wet snow during the onset). Finally, a cold front will drive through here late Thursday night into early Friday with shower chances continuing until the front passes.

Busy Times Continue This Weekend; Tricky Storm. . .While we may see some sunshine Friday afternoon, clouds will quickly build back in Friday night and rain will overspread the region, continuing into Saturday. Rainfall may be heavy at times Saturday morning.

The early consensus of the track of Saturday’s low combined with marginal temperatures, does at least raise an eye brow that some wet snow could be in play for portions of central and east-central Indiana Saturday morning into the afternoon and we’ll monitor this. Again, while temperatures will be marginal, at best, heavy precipitation rates will stand the chance for a band of heavy wet snow along the northern periphery of the precipitation.

Another Fast Moving Storm. . .After a drier Sunday (and milder), clouds return Sunday night and scattered showers are possible Monday as yet another cold front swings through the region. Moisture will be limited with this front so rainfall amounts should be light. Tuesday looks drier and colder.

Unseasonably Cold And Tracking Snow. . .It sure won’t feel like late March around these parts to kick off the new work week. Instead, we’ll deal with a biting north wind and temperatures more comparable to January. Needless to say, certainly plan to grab the coat on the way out the door.

As we move into the evening hours clouds will begin to increase and light snow and scattered snow showers will arrive tonight into Tuesday morning. This won’t be a big deal and we’re still anticipating little, if any, accumulation for most (perhaps up to half an inch in localized spots). All the same, for a region that’s been brutally cold and snowy for month on end, this probably won’t be a welcome with “arms wide open” type of forecast.

South Winds Deliver Warmer Air. . .A gusty southwest wind will blow milder air north into the region Thursday. Along with the milder air will come moisture and we forecast showers to develop Thursday with a potential thunderstorm Thursday night into Friday morning as a cold front slides through the region.

Nice Weekend. . .Though Saturday will be colder than normal, sunshine should return for the weekend. Furthermore, we’ll enjoy a southerly flow of air by Sunday which may help temperatures reach close to 60!

Warm Front Passes. . .A warm front lifted north through the state during the wee morning hours. This sparked a couple light showers (snow burst across northern portions of the state), but wasn’t a big deal and a very nice Friday is on tap. We’ll note a strong and gusty southwest breeze in play that will help send temperatures into the lower to middle 60s for afternoon highs along with partly cloudy skies.

Here Comes The Cold. . .Just as quick as the warm front passes a cold front will swing through the region and put an abrupt end to the spring tease. Unfortunately, temperatures will slide the wrong direction over the weekend along with strong and gusty northwest winds. This front may be accompanied by a couple light showers late tonight into early Saturday.

Tuesday Snow Maker. . .After a cold, but dry open to the work week, a disturbance will cross the Ohio Valley Tuesday and provide just enough moisture to combine with the cold air in place to result in the likelihood of light snow around these parts Tuesday. We’re not thinking much in the way of accumulation will occur as overall snowfall rates will be relatively light, but we do note some localized light accumulations are possible. Otherwise, expect a mostly cloudy and “ridiculously” cold day.

Moderating. . .Indications are that we’ll begin to enjoy the return of southwest (milder) breezes in here by the end of next week. As such, temperatures will begin to moderate and perhaps “inch” above the 50 degree mark by next Thursday.

Forecast Updated 03.18.14 @ 7:57a

Nice Tuesday. . .Clouds hung tough Monday, but we finally got into sunshine during the afternoon which led to a very pleasant, albeit chilly, Monday evening. Thankfully, the sunny close to Monday was a precursor to what we can expect Tuesday- mostly sunny to partly cloudy. We’ll note a big improvement in the temperature department (after another cold start), courtesy of an increasingly strong south wind through the day.

Windy Wednesday. . .A cold front will race through the region Wednesday morning and will be accompanied by a band of showers and embedded thunder. We think the majority of the rain falls during the predawn/ early morning hours Wednesday and most of the daylight hours will be dry, colder, and very windy. A tightly wound low pressure system will roar through the Great Lakes region Wednesday and be responsible for producing strong and gusty winds, including gusts upwards of 40 MPH during the day Wednesday.

Thursday will be an “in between” day that will include dry skies and moderating temperatures.

Another Fast Moving Storm System. . .Yet another frontal boundary will blow through the region late Friday night and Saturday morning. Before hand, a warm front will lift north through the region Friday morning and could help spark a scattered shower as it lifts north. That said, most of the day will be dry and include an increasing south wind that will assist in shooting temperatures into the lower to middle 60s Friday afternoon. Clouds will once again increase Friday night and lead to showers Friday night into Saturday morning.

Turning Colder Over The Weekend. . .A colder air mass will pour into the region for the upcoming weekend as north winds blow yet again. This will send temperatures to well below normal levels. In fact, temperatures will likely fall through the day Saturday, and Sunday will be another blustery, cold day.

As we look ahead to early next week, there will be a system that will warrant our attention for possible rain and/ or snow, but it’s far too early to be specific with this event. Just know that we’ll keep our eye on things. Regardless, conditions will be much colder than normal to put a wrap on March… Hang in there, spring has to arrive eventually, correct?
