Watching A Major Winter Storm To Our South…As busy as things will be for our friends to our south and east, the weather, locally, will be about as quiet as we can expect this time of year. Hefty (and in some cases crippling) snows will fall to our south and southeast. Here on the home front we can expect a day with mixed clouds and sun today before we turn mostly cloudy Friday. We’ll feel the “outer impacts” of the major winter storm to our south Friday in the form of strong and gusty east winds that slowly begin to diminish Saturday. Sunday looks beautiful and it’ll feel downright balmy when compared to the bitterly cold air of late.
Our next weather maker is looking less and less impressive and will deal a few showers Monday followed by cold air returning Tuesday and Wednesday with scattered snow showers. – Doesn’t look like a big deal in the least from this distance.

Snowy Morning; Next Winter Storm Shifts South…This morning’s snow “behaved” as planned with a quick thumping across a large portion of central IN. A quick scan of accumulation reports into the office this morning indicate amounts, on average, right around 2″ (some a bit more, some a little less). We’ll recap later this evening, with an overlay of our snowfall forecast map. Due to the timing of this event, this morning’s commute is a nightmare, as expected.
As we look ahead, the major winter storm (crippling for some) late week is trending further and further south. Now, instead of the initial low tracking through the TN Valley (which would’ve argued for a reflection of the low up west of the mountains), it appears to stay so far south that it tracks along the northern Gulf states before the primary low takes over and delivers the “snowy goods” to our friends from the east TN mountains north and east. By the way, this will be a monster event for the southern Appalachians (yard stick will be needed to measure the final product). Back here on the home front, we’ll forecast a dry, cold stretch with a blustery Friday (east winds gusting 20-30 MPH).
Our next weather maker of note will come early next week. More on that as we draw closer.
Safe travels and happy snow to all!

Enjoy Today; New Polar Plunge Coming…While we wait on the next severe blast of cold air, enough SW air flow will help boost temperatures to above normal levels today and Friday. We’ll introduce a few showers into the Friday forecast, so today is the “pick of the week!” Find a way to enjoy it!
What at one time looked like a significant storm system Friday into Saturday is now anything but. A very weak area of low pressure will provide showers Friday before transitioning to snow flurries as precipitation ends. Precipitation amounts will be light with this system.
Colder air begins to return tomorrow night and Saturday, but it’s Saturday night and Sunday that the next arctic invasion will get underway. By now you know the deal- we’ll also contend with snow showers and embedded heavier squalls, along with very gusty winds.
A frigid opening to next week will take place before we eye our next snow maker the middle of next week.

First and foremost tonight, our thoughts and prayers are with the Smith family. It’s comforting to know that Andrew is now in heaven and the pain and suffering is no…
