*Your complete and updated 7-day will be posted later tonight. As always, please click on the images below to enlarge.
1.) Early freezing rain will give way to a moderate to heavy rain event Saturday. Widespread 1″-2″ rainfall amounts can be expected. If traveling during the predawn hours across central Indiana, be aware for possible light glazing from freezing rain. Forecast radar shows freezing rain potential shortly after midnight. This should transition to all rain between 2a-4a across central Indiana, but if your travels take you north, northern parts of the state will hang on to a wintry mix a few hours longer.
2.) We’re eyeing an accumulating snow event as a clipper system and associated arctic front blow in Monday night and Tuesday. Still early to talk specific snow amounts, but it’s the type event that could deposit a “few” inches. More in the days ahead. Wind and brutal cold will accompany this snow.
3.) Dangerous cold invades next week and reaches coldest levels Wednesday into Thursday. Wind chill values may approach 30 degrees below zero. Definitely a dangerous scenario if you plan to be outdoors for any length of time period.
4.) Additional wintry mischief awaits later 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.
Ensemble data shows temperatures more than 20 degrees below normal by mid week as a brutal shot of arctic air invades the region.

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.
