Frigid Saturday Gives Way To A Messy Sunday Evening…

Highlights:

  • Bitter cold eases
  • Mix of snow and ice
  • Milder midweek

Bitter Today; Wintry Mix By Sunday Evening…Most central Indiana reporting sites are checking in this morning between 6° and 10° below zero, but we note a couple of spots are even colder.  Arctic high pressure will remain in control of our weather today, leading to sunny and bitter conditions.

An approaching storm system Sunday will help increase our cloud cover through the morning and we expect snow to develop by evening.  As warmer air aloft works into the region, a transition to freezing rain is expected during the overnight into early Monday morning.  The morning commute looks very messy Monday.

Moderating temperatures will develop by midweek and as the milder air moves over the cold surface, thick fog and areas of drizzle and light rain will develop Wednesday.  A cold front will sweep through the state Thursday with showers and we’re keeping close tabs on a secondary piece of energy that will lead to a wintry close to the work week for portions of the Ohio Valley.  In fact, a significant winter event should develop out of this pattern Friday into Saturday.  The early call for now is that this is east of our region, but stay tuned.  Snow showers will fly in the colder air to close the week regardless.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: 1″ – 2″
  • Rainfall: 0.50″ – 0.75″

Frigid Times; Watching Sunday…

Highlights:

  • Fresh batch of arctic air served up
  • Watching Sunday
  • Moderating next week

Brutal Cold Continues…A fresh batch of arctic air arrived into the Hoosier state last night.  This will set the stage for an absolutely frigid close to the week.  Wind chill values will periodically reach dangerous levels between now and Saturday morning.  Additionally, we’ll add a few more mornings to the sub-zero club in what’s already an impressive list this winter.

Attention remains on a developing storm system that will impact our region Sunday into early Monday.  We forecast a lowering and thickening cloud deck to arrive overnight Saturday into Sunday morning, followed by a wintry mix Sunday afternoon and evening.  Messy wintry precipitation should continue into early Monday before precipitation departs to our east.  Data, overall, has trended colder over the past 24 hours and would lead to more impact from snow and less ice.  Stay tuned.

Drier times return early next week along with moderating conditions ahead of the next storm system that will approach late next week.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: 1″ to 3″
  • Rainfall: 0.00″
