Saturday Morning Update

Good snowy Saturday morning, friends! We’re getting reports of 3″-5″ of snow so far across central Indiana from “round 1” of our winter storm.  While heavy snow bursts remain on radar this morning (case in point from Whitestown down to the west side of Indianapolis), the widespread snow has come to a brief end.  Brief is the key word here as widespread snow will overspread most of the region late morning into early afternoon.  An additional 1″-2″ of snow will be a good bet from “round 2.”

Here’s a snap shot of what the radar may look like later this morning- centered on 11a.

hrrr_ref_indy_6As we push deeper into the afternoon, snow should slowly press south and east of our region.  It’ll be important to go ahead and begin the big dig as cold reloads tonight into Sunday and another record cold shot eyes the region early next week.

We’ll have more on your 7-day forecast later today, including another potential winter storm late in the period.  For now, enjoy the snow!

Winter Storm Tonight-Saturday

Good morning and happy Friday, friends!  Boy, Old Man Winter is really beginning to turn some minds around from thinking this was an easy winter to one that’s quite impressive, especially from a cold standpoint.  By the way, there’s MUCH more from where this came from!  Essentially we remain on “lock down” for more brutally cold and wintry conditions for the upcoming 7-10 day period.  More on that later.

Here’s a look at our initial snowfall forecast map for tonight and Saturday:

2201522115SnowMapForecast radar shows heavy wet snow encompassing central Indiana Saturday morning:

hires_ref_indy_29Bullet point highlights you need to know:

  • Snow will overspread central Indiana from the southwest between 10p-1a
  • Snow will become heavy at times between 3a-7a
  • Sleet and freezing rain will accumulate significantly downstate
  • Most of the snow will be east of the area by 3p Saturday
  • You’ll want to plow and clean snow up Saturday night as cold air quickly returns Sunday
  • Arctic outbreak next week likely will feature record cold, and colder than this week has been
  • No let-up in sight from this unrelenting winter pattern

Very Cold Close To The Work Week…We’ve been cold for so long, it’s hard to remember that our average high this time of year is still around the 50 degree mark.  We won’t come anywhere close to that before Saturday.  Sunshine will dominate both today and Friday before giving way to increasingly cloudy skies late Friday.

Freezing Rain Potential; Wind And Storms Sunday…Light freezing rain is likely late Friday night into the wee morning hours Saturday.  Thankfully before we see widespread icing problems, temperatures should “warm” above freezing with a cloudy, breezy, and showery day on tap.

Heavier rain and embedded thunderstorms will rumble through the region Sunday, along with gusty south winds as a strong storm system lifts into the Great Lakes region.  Locally heavy rain can be expected with this event Sunday.

Colder For Thanksgiving Week; Eyeing Late Week Storm Potential…While we’ll enjoy one day above normal (Sunday) the overall weather pattern is one that’ll continue to result in a colder than normal regime over our part of the country.  A cold Thanksgiving week is shaping up with well below average temperatures.  Some scattered snow showers/ flurries are possible midweek, but it’s as we go into late next week/ weekend when a storm of “more importance” emerges.  Far too early for specifics on rain or snow, but stay tuned…

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

Light Snow…Light snow will fall across central Indiana Wednesday, especially from Indianapolis and points north.  We’re not talking about significant accumulations, but a dusting to half an inch will be possible across the region Wednesday morning.  This is part of reinforcing cold and wind that will once again have things feeling frigid come Wednesday evening.  Southwest winds will shift around to the northwest come afternoon helping drive in the arctic air reinforcements.

Cold Close To The Work Week…We’re anticipating a dry close to the work week, but one that’s much colder than average.  In fact, high temperatures both Thursday and Friday will be significantly colder than average lows this time of year.  Brrrrrrr…. Keep the heavy winter gear handy.

Milder, But Wet And Windy…A big Mid West storm system will deliver a rainy and windy time of things Saturday into Monday.  As precipitation moves into the region, a wintry mix of sleet and/ or freezing rain will be possible during the onset early Saturday.  Otherwise, strong and gusty southerly winds will deliver a briefly milder regime come Sunday with periods of heavy rain.  Early indications suggest weekend rainfall totals reach 1″ to 1.5″.

Turning Colder Again…Once our storm system lifts away from the region, colder than normal air will quickly come rushing back into central Indiana to open up the short Thanksgiving week.  More details later in regards to a potential storm system brewing closer to Thanksgiving, itself…

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: Dusting – 0.50″
  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1.00 – 1.50″
