Highlights:
- Morning fog in spots
- Strong Tuesday storms
- Mid week snow showers
- Quiet end to the week
Strong To Severe Storms Tuesday Afternoon-Evening…Today is a day in between storm systems. We’ll deal with morning fog in spots (some freezing fog is being reported north and northwest of Indy this morning) and mostly cloudy skies. It’ll be colder when compared to the weekend, but still warmer than average.
All eyes for this forecast package remain locked on Tuesday. It’s still shaping up to be an active day, with strong to severe thunderstorms likely. We bracket 3p-11p for the most likely time frame of thunderstorms across central IN. Damaging straight line winds are of greatest concern, but caution a few embedded cells will be capable of producing a tornado.
Things turn much colder Wednesday and with lingering moisture, a few snow showers will be a good bet.
We turn much quieter to wrap up the week and head into Super Bowl Sunday.

Highlights:
- Breezy and colder with flurries
- Fast-moving clippers to our north
- Mild and increasingly damp weekend
Colder Today With Flurries…A cold front passed through central IN during the overnight and gusty NW winds are greeting us out the door this morning. A few flurries or light snow will likely fly later this morning and this afternoon.
As we progress into mid week, we’ll eye a couple of fast moving clipper systems to our north. For the most part, central IN will be left out of any impacts, aside from a gusty SW wind from time to time. A few flurries may clip eastern parts of the state Thursday.
The upcoming weekend will be a warm one, considering we’re in late January. Moisture will begin to increase Sunday with clouds and light rain the result.

Highlights:
- Evening light rain
- Clipper watch
- Mild weekend ahead
Evening Showers…A weak cold front will press through central IN tonight. Moisture return isn’t impressive with this system, but light showers will scoot through the area this evening. Rainfall amounts won’t add up to much.
A few flurries may fly Tuesday morning as cold air moves back into the area. Temperatures during the day time Tuesday will be below freezing for the most part after a predawn high.
Forecast models still disagree with the overall track of a clipper system Thursday. The GFS and European models don’t suggest we deal with any snow, whatsoever. Meanwhile, the Canadian model remains consistent on Thursday snow showers. Either way, this shouldn’t be a big deal. We’ll keep an eye on things.
The weekend will shift unseasonably mild as we get into a strong SW flow. We’ll eye a developing strong storm across the Plains early next week…

Highlights:
- Cold, but dry weekend
- Weak system delivers showers/ flurries early week
- Models disagree on clipper track
Cold, But Lots-O-Sunshine…A major winter storm is hammering areas still from the southern Appalachians into the Mid Atlantic and Northeast. Light flurries fell across central IN Friday evening, but drier air quickly built into the region overnight and sets the stage for a cold, but sunny weekend. Gusty NE winds that were felt Friday and overnight will also begin to diminish today.
Our next weather maker will blow into town Monday, but will be weak. Showers will accompany the frontal passage Monday evening before snow flurries/ light snow showers fly in the cold air advection Tuesday morning. All in all, this won’t be a big deal.
The next potential “trouble maker” awaits for the middle part of the week, but caution model data is all over the board on the eventual track of this clipper system. We’ll lean more towards the Canadian solution at this juncture (model of choice with clippers) and forecast snow showers to build into central IN Thursday. From this distance, model solutions range from snowy (light accumulation) to dry and mild. We wouldn’t have it any other way this winter.
