Short-Term Update: Keeping An Eye On Severe Potential This Evening-Tonight…

The Storm Prediction Center has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch in effect until 7p.


Greatest concern has to do with the Southwest flank of the thunderstorm complex that will continue to push southeast into the evening hours. (This is the same complex of storms that moved through MN and WI earlier this morning).

As we look at the ingredients needed for severe weather, there’s reason to believe this complex will hold together, including occasionally producing severe weather (large hail and damaging winds remain the biggest concerns) into portions of central Indiana by early to mid evening (5p-8p time frame).

This shouldn’t have any impact on another, more widespread, complex of storms that will initiate well to our north late tonight before rumbling south into central Indiana around, or just after, midnight in a weakening state…

More later!

Settling In From The Road: Quick Review Of Latest Thoughts…

I apologize for not having an update out sooner, but have been on the road all day and just getting settled in.  With that said, I’ve been keeping up-to-date with the latest model data and really have no significant changes to our ongoing snowfall forecast:

Latest highlights:

  • A cold rain will overspread the state during the overnight
  • Expect rain to change to wet snow during the pre-dawn hours for Indianapolis and surrounding areas
  • Heavy wet snow will continue through the morning and afternoon and where heaviest bands set up, snowfall rates of 1″+ per hour can be anticipated
  • Winds will gust to 30 MPH+ into the evening hours Saturday
  • Snow will diminish from northwest to southeast Saturday evening
  • As we always say, late March snow events always bring surprises and while bust potential is present (both on the high and low side on the going forecast), this is our best idea and it’ll be fun to watch things unfold.
