Modeling continues to suggest a cold and wintry time lies ahead as we progress into and through the special Christmas period. Could this be the scene across central Indiana Christmas…

Dirty High…High pressure is in control of our weather, but this is what we call a “dirty high” as low clouds will remain today along with a couple light flurries, particularly across western parts of the state. Temperatures will remain colder than average.
Sunshine will finally begin to increase as we go into the latter portion of the work week along with slowly moderating temperatures closer to seasonal levels.
Tricky Weekend…The upper air pattern this weekend will feature a building ridge across the Mid West and Ohio Valley and signal milder days ahead. Taken at face value one would anticipate temperatures well into the 50s and flirting with 60, but there will likely be an “inversion” that develops over the weekend which will lead to lots of clouds, drizzle, and cooler temperatures that what we’d expect without this inversion. As such, we’re forecasting increasing clouds Saturday and considerable cloudiness with areas of drizzle Sunday. Temperatures, though milder than normal, won’t reach levels they could in this type pattern without the inversion.
Early Week Storm System…Our next storm system will arrive late Monday into Tuesday with light rain and colder air returning for the middle of next week.

December so far has been a battle between the cold northern tier and warmth south. The so-called “battle zone” has been located over our neck of the woods and lead…

Mixed Rain/ Snow Showers…Colder air will pour into the region on gusty north and northeast winds through the early week stretch. Left over moisture will produce scattered mixed rain and snow showers Tuesday, particularly during the morning.
Cold Mid Week…Dry, but cold conditions can be expected through the middle and latter portion of the work week. Temperatures will run below average, but at least we’ll enjoy a little vitamin D!
Milder Air Coming…Our air flow will shift around to the southwest over the weekend into early next week and this will help promote much milder times- at least for a brief period of time. We caution though that a much different look (and feel) awaits by the middle and latter part of next week and this will likely set the stage for a cold end to December, including Christmas.

1.) It’s nice to see the sun for once. While we’ll still have mid and high level cloudiness to deal with later today, we’ll gladly take what we can get of the good ole vitamin D this time of the year!
2.) Rain over the Thursday-Friday period followed along very closely to what modeling suggested. Heaviest rains fell central and south.
3.) A cold front will move through Monday evening with a few showers, gusty winds, and set up a cold week, overall.
4.) In the long range, we continue to really like the looks of things from a winter weather lover’s point of view. Undercutting jet supplying storm potential, arctic intrusion, and a blocky look… Details will have to be sorted through as time draws closer, but from this perspective, the pattern continues to look like it’s heading towards one capable of widespread colder than normal air and winter storm potential Christmas week.
