Busy Pattern This Week…After a windy and warm Sunday, a thin band of showers and embedded thunder moved through central IN last night. This was in association with a weak frontal boundary that will provide a dry start to the work week. Despite a cloudy start, sunshine should quickly develop as clouds decrease.
Quiet times won’t last long as our next storm system delivers showers and thunderstorms Tuesday. Colder air will quickly punch in here Tuesday afternoon and evening helping precipitation transition to wet snow before ending. We think the significant accumulations will remain north of central IN, but we’re keeping a close eye on things, nonetheless. Expect an evening update.
Busy times remain in the mid week period as a wave of low pressure spreads widespread snow across the area Thursday. Early indications would suggest this may be a plowable snow for some of the region.
As it stands now, moderating conditions and increasing sunshine are expected heading into next weekend. Longer term, a big ridge should develop across the area later next week. It’s a pattern supportive of anomalous warmth to the tune of 75-80 degrees….

1.) An absolutely stunning late February day is dialed up, with lots of sunshine and moderating temperatures. We’re going mid 50s this afternoon.
2.) Though warm (lower 60s), Sunday will offer up showers by the afternoon/ evening.
3.) Mid and late week remains a challenge. Do we have a leader-follower situation? Time will tell. We’re still leaning mostly wet for the Tuesday-Wednesday storm for now. The late week system could offer up accumulating snow prospects (ala. ECMWF, GEM).
4.) The period opens warm, but we shift much colder than average by the end of the week.
5.) We continue to look into spring and summer. With the dramatic shift expected to a La Nina, fun times will ensue. Hot, dry summer around these parts followed by a snowy winter? Hmmmm….
Highlights:
Milder Weekend Ahead…Scattered flurries are flying across northeastern and eastern parts of the state this morning, but drier air is invading from the west and this should lead to increasing sunshine through the afternoon.
Though Saturday won’t be as warm as Sunday, it’s our pick of the weekend with lots of sunshine and mild temperatures. We’ll add wind and evening showers into the mix Sunday.
The next storm of significance is slated to arrive Tuesday. Though we’ll have to fine tune details as we move forward, for now we’ll go with developing rain Tuesday followed by a transition to snow showers Wednesday. Stay tuned.
Indications late next week are that we may have to deal with an active NW flow and snow-producing clippers.
