Ready For More Wind And Snow?!  The day will dawn with sunshine and downright frigid temperatures.  Some numbers as of 7am include the following:

• Zionsville: – 10
• Eagle Creek: – 6
• Indianapolis: – 6
• Frankfort: – 10
• Kokomo: – 8

Wind chill readings are obviously even colder (- 20 to -30).  Clouds will quickly increase as we progress into the afternoon hours and snow won’t be far behind.  We forecast a quick burst of heavier snow between 5-7p followed by snow showers through the evening.  Most folks from Indianapolis and points north will accumulate around an inch of new snow this evening.  Winds will also be very gusty and lead to all sorts of blowing and drifting concerns once again (of new snow and existing snow).

Temperatures will fall Friday and be in the single digits for most of the day before heading back below zero Friday evening/ Saturday morning.  Welcome to the frozen tundra! 🙂

Our next winter event of significance will press in Sunday.  Clouds will lower and thicken through the day and snow should develop by evening.  Light snow and potentially a wintry mix will continue Sunday night into the day Monday.  Stay tuned!

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

• 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 2″ – 4″
• 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.00″

Highlights:

• Dangerous Cold
• Blowing And Drifting Snow
• 2nd Shot of Arctic Air
• More Wintry Mischief Ahead

Dangerous Weather…Severely cold, arctic, air will continue to pour into the region today. Snow showers accompanied the arctic push during the early morning hours and a few flurries can be expected from time to time today (heavier lake effect snows northeast). Winds will be strong and gusty, including considerable blowing and drifting snow.  Wind chill values will approach 30 degrees below zero this afternoon into Thursday morning.  Needless to say, have a winter survival kit in your car if you must travel.

Additional impulses of energy will rotate through the region Thursday and Friday with periodic scattered snow shower potential Thursday afternoon into early Friday.

A second surge of arctic air will invade Friday night and Saturday morning and result in temperatures, yet again, below zero.

As we move forward, all eyes will turn to the potential of new “wintry fun and games” late in the weekend into early next week.
