- Moderating temperatures
- Late week storm system
Needed Vitamin D…It’s not often that we can string up consecutive sunny days in early and mid December, but that’s exactly what we’ll do this week- and we won’t complain! With the clear, calm conditions, overnight lows will continue to plummet into the 10s before we slowly begin to moderate as we move into the middle of the week.
With the moderating temperatures will also come increasing moisture as a new storm system organizes to our southwest Wednesday night and Thursday. Models continue to differ on specifics with respect to rainfall totals and we’ll fine tune things as we progress through the next couple of days. While late week turns unsettled, we don’t expect a wash-out any day.
Looking ahead, the longer term models continue to suggest we’re going to pull out of the predominantly cold pattern that we’ve been in with an overall milder shift in the pattern for the next couple of weeks. There’s much debate around when the flip back to a cold pattern returns- is it in time for Christmas or closer to the New Year?

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…

Bundle Up…“Number-busting” cold has settled into many Mid West communities this morning as just enough snow cover combined with clearing overnight skies. The result is a 5º to as much as a 10º difference in actual low temperatures this morning when compared to the majority of guidance yesterday. Bundle up, as many across central Indiana are waking up to temperatures in the upper single digits to middle 10s. Thankfully, dry conditions are expected not only today, but straight through the weekend and on into early next week- along with plentiful sunshine!
Temperatures will gradually turn “less cold” early next week and we’re eyeing our next storm system for a Wednesday night to Thursday arrival.

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…
