A nor’easter is making a mess of travel (in the air and on the road) up and down the east coast. Also note the clipper system digging through the mid…

There’s just a little excitement in the McMillan household this time of year… Between Thanksgiving, the increasingly busy weather pattern, and, of course, the Iron Bowl, it’s almost too much…

Much Colder Than Normal; Light Snow Southwest…It’s only fitting that we’ll roll into the Thanksgiving holiday with the same overall weather theme we’ve dealt with for the month of November- MUCH colder than normal. Dry skies can be expected today (with the exception of a few morning flurries).
Our next weather maker will scoot southeast and impact primarily the far southwestern portions of the region with light snow Wednesday (dusting to less than 1″ of accumulation). A quick note- these type systems have been known to “overachieve” from time to time and we’ll keep a close eye on things the next 24 hours.
A few scattered snow showers/ flurries will be possible across central Indiana Wednesday into Thanksgiving Day, but shouldn’t amount to much. Cold will be the big weather story. Plan to have plenty of fire wood ready to keep a roaring fire going through the Thanksgiving get-togethers.
Black Friday shoppers can expect dry conditions and colder than normal weather continuing, but temperatures will begin to moderate after a cold and frosty start.
Warming Up…Our cold weather pattern will relax as we open up December and provide a taste of the November we never had (temperature-wise, at least :-)). In fact, a 60 degree reading is possible later next week as a warmer southwesterly air flow takes control. With the southwesterly flow in place, moisture will increase and we’ll mention the chance of light rain in our weekend forecast.

We wanted to touch on a few items of business this evening. There’s a lot of weather going on this week…
Monday will feature drastic changes in the weather department across central Indiana:
Thanksgiving Cold And Snow:
Temperatures will be much colder than average (low to mid 30s for highs and middle 20s for lows). We’re still tracking a weak disturbance that could distribute light snow across central Indiana Thanksgiving Day. Accumulations, if any, would fall in the dusting to less than 1″ range.
Opening December Warm:
We’ve been talking about how this exceptionally cold and wintry early season pattern would have to “relax” at some point and that appears to be the case as we open December. The potential is there for well above normal warmth for the first week to ten days of December before we reload the pattern and introduce colder, more wintry times for mid and late month (anyone dreaming of a White Christmas)?

Wet And Windy Weekend…Some spots saw a touch of light freezing rain during the wee morning hours. That’s now long gone as temperatures have risen into the upper 30s as of this forecast package. Temperatures will continue to “warm” into the lower 50s today (today’s average high is 49) with scattered showers dotting the central Indiana landscape from time to time.
Much heavier and more widespread rainfall will lift north into the area Sunday afternoon and we forecast embedded thunderstorms along with strong and gusty winds for the second half of the weekend. Widespread 1 to 1.5″ rainfall is likely Sunday with locally heavier totals. As mentioned, the other big item of business will be the wind. Winds will likely gust towards 50 MPH in spots as strengthening surface low pressure lifts north Sunday night into Monday.
Colder Air Returns…The period of milder air will be very brief as temperatures return back to well below normal values Monday afternoon and continue through the big Thanksgiving week ahead. Some lingering wrap around moisture may lead to a few flurries or scattered snow showers Monday afternoon with falling temperatures and continued strong and gusty winds.
More Substantial Snow Maker For Thanksgiving? Details remain sketchy, but computer modeling continues to suggest we need to keep on our toes for the potential of light accumulating snow Thanksgiving. Snow or not, temperatures will be much colder than normal as the arctic hounds come calling yet again to set up a frigid Black Friday for shoppers.
