The relatively quiet and mild time of things this weekend will quickly give way to the promised return of winter next week. An arctic cold front will sweep through the state late Sunday and set things in motion that will keep the weather feeling, and looking, very wintry around these parts over the upcoming week.
As we’ve discussed, models will struggle with handling the local impacts of multiple upper air disturbances that will race southeast in the fast northwest flow aloft. We think Monday-Tuesday offer up the best chances of accumulating snow in the near term. The upper energy will be able to maximize snow production around these parts and this looks like a 1″-3″ type event, with local amounts to 4″. Winds will be quite gusty and blowing and drifting will be an issue, particularly in the open country.

Another vigorous disturbance will race southeast Thursday afternoon. While the Canadian shows the bulk of the energy to our north, it would be close enough to ignite snow showers around here, as well. Expect small changes with timing and track as we get closer.
Thursday evening
Longer term, we also keep close eyes on next weekend. The pattern is one that should promote a significant widespread winter storm. The devil is in the details and we still have a ways to go, but the pattern set-up is one that screams an Ohio Valley winter storm threat from this distance.
Giddy up! 🙂

Here’s a comparison of our snowfall forecast and what was actually reported, thanks to the fine folks at the Indianapolis National Weather Service office. 
By the way, thank you for all of the reports and photos today! We ended up with 2.6″ at the IndyWx HQ (Whitestown).
Looking ahead, there are more challenges that await next week, after a relatively boring, cold weekend. Folks from the southern Appalachians up into the Mid Atlantic will share in a memorable winter storm that will be flat-out crippling for some by the time all is said and done over the weekend.
Much more late tonight or early Thursday!
