Highlights:
- Freezing fog this morning
- Mid and late week rain
- Briefly milder mid-month
Slow It Down…Freezing fog is creating slick travel in and around the city, itself, and points north. Please allow extra time to reach your destination this morning and take it slow. As we move into the afternoon, the low clouds and fog should slowly lift, but it’s likely not until we get to mid to late afternoon. With the longer period of fog and clouds, we’ve dropped forecast highs a few degrees today.
We should still get in on a sunny Tuesday before our first of a series of storm system begin to impact the area Wednesday. Weak low pressure will result in increasing clouds and a narrow band of showers Wednesday afternoon. Rain may mix with snow across north-central parts of the state.
As we look ahead, a slow moving (bigger) storm system spells periods of wet weather as we close the week and head into the weekend. While it won’t rain the entire time, periods of moderate to heavy rain are possible during the period, along with gusty winds, and an overall “raw” feel. Early thinking here is that we salvage the 2nd half of the weekend with at least a touch of sun.

Highlights:
- Prolonged stretch of cold, quiet weather
- Major winter storm for the southern Appalachians
- Next storm delivers rain late next week
Brrrrrrr…It’s another frigid early December morning across central Indiana, but there really isn’t any “exciting” weather to discuss through the early part of next week. High pressure will supply quiet conditions through the daytime Wednesday. We’ll notice some mid and high level cloudiness today from a winter storm that will drop historic snow amounts across the southern Appalachians tonight into Monday. Otherwise, plentiful sunshine can be expected with slowly moderating temperatures into the new work week.
Clouds will lower and thicken Wednesday afternoon and light rain will likely arrive after dark. Our next storm system will deliver rain and gusty winds in here late week. Though we haven’t “taken the bait” just yet, there’s the chance of some wind-whipped wrap-around snow Friday. We’ll give it another couple model runs before building that into the forecast…

Highlights:
- Snow arrives around lunchtime
- Cold weekend ahead
- Increasing sunshine
Messy Afternoon Commute For Some…The day is starting quiet, but a fast moving arctic cold front will push through the state this afternoon. Ahead of the boundary, an expanding area of precipitation will break out late morning into the early afternoon hours. From the city and points north, most of this should fall as wet snow. South of the city, a mixture of rain and snow is expected. A quick 1″ of snow is likely for areas north of Indianapolis and as temperatures fall this afternoon and evening, a slick evening commute is possible. Allow yourself extra time.
Cold air will reinforce itself behind the front tonight and through the weekend, BUT sunshine will return! All eyes will be off to our south as a major winter storm impacts our friends across the TN Valley into the Southern Appalachians. If you’re one of our viewers from the east TN/ western NC mountains, get to the grocery store today and plan to hunker down. You’ll need the yardstick to measure this one when all is said and done Monday night…
