Nice Finish To The Weekend; Mid Week Storm Brewing…A disturbance responsible for overnight/ early morning thunderstorms and heavy rain across southern IN is tracking east.  Drier air is working in now and we’ve dialed up a beauty of a close to the weekend across central IN.

The work week will get started on a quiet note, but trouble is brewing for mid week as a big storm system lifts out of the southern Plains and into the lower Ohio Valley.  We forecast a lowering and thickening cloud deck Tuesday followed by rain developing.  As colder air gets pulled into the system, rain will begin to transition to a heavy, wet snow across portions of the area.  Exactly who sees the transition and when remain in question and will have to be fine tuned as time goes along.  That said, the potential is there for a heavy, wet snow “thump” across a portion of our area.  Stay tuned.

This storm will set things into a much colder and rather active time to close the work week and head into next weekend.

Monday Evening Rambles…

1.)  Tuesday’s upper air disturbance looks to track further and further SW with each and every passing model run.  While we’ll keep an eye on things, it’s apparent that best snow chances will be across far SW counties, and even that may be generous (this thing is tracking much further west than what appeared a couple days ago), courtesy of NCEP.

42.)  A significant warm-up is still on schedule for late week, centered on Friday, where temperatures will likely push to, or exceed, 60 degrees as ridging builds in.  Image courtesy of Tropicaltidbits.com.

13.)  The warmth will be brief, however, as a colder pattern returns (thank you positive PNA), including an interesting look for winter storm potential across the east days 8-10.  (No need to get fancy with specifics at this juncture).
