Slick Spots For Some; Accumulating Late Weekend Snow? A fast-moving disturbance will move through the region during the overnight/ wee morning hours and provide light rain for most of central Indiana, but areas just north of the city will deal with an icy mixture of sleet and freezing rain (be watchful of slick spots if traveling north Tuesday morning). Sunshine will make a quick return and “work” on our temperatures to help boost afternoon highs into the middle 40s (once again :-))! Another fast-moving weather maker will arrive late Tuesday night into Wednesday morning with mixed light rain and light snow. Again, light is the key word.
Colder, but drier weather will build in for the midweek stretch. The next weather item on the agenda will be a more vigorous clipper system that will slide southeast and result in increasing cloudiness Saturday night into Sunday morning followed by snow overspreading the region Sunday morning. Accumulating snow is possible Sunday afternoon into Monday morning and will require fine tuning in the days ahead. Precise track of the clipper system will determine where little, if any, snow falls and potentially several inches. Stay tuned. Regardless of the snow potential over the weekend, the stage is set for a MUCH colder time of things next week…

Challenging Northwest Flow…A series of fairly weak weather systems will scoot through the region through the first half of the week. Each disturbance will be capable of depositing a quick round of light precipitation. Timing will be the biggest issue at hand with the first couple weak disturbances. We’ll forecast light rain (perhaps a wet snow flake or two) tonight into the wee morning hours Tuesday and again Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.
A drier stretch of weather will arrive for the second half of the work week and early portions of the weekend. We target Sunday evening as the next opportunity for accumulating snow followed by a push of colder air. As of now, week 2 is looking unseasonably cold after seasonable to above average temperatures this week.

“Relaxation” Of The Bitterly Cold Pattern…That forecast package title sure wouldn’t suffice describing the weather outside this morning. It’s a downright bitter feel, including below zero temperatures throughout north-central Indiana. Patchy freezing fog and scattered flurries are also with us this morning. With some sunshine later, we’ll “warm” into the lower 20s this afternoon. A few flurries may fly tonight as a weak disturbance moves through the region.
Sunshine will be with us to wrap up the work week along with slowly moderating temperatures. Average highs this time of the year are in the middle 30s so we’ll be closer to average Thursday and Friday- though it’ll likely feel much warmer simply based off just how cold it’s been as of late. Gusty southwest winds will blow milder air in here briefly Saturday as temperatures climb into the middle 40s.
A cold front will sweep the state Sunday morning with a possible rain shower that’ll quickly transition to scattered snow showers as the colder air filters back into the region. The next storm system of note arrives early next week.
