Light Snow…Light snow will fall across central Indiana Wednesday, especially from Indianapolis and points north.  We’re not talking about significant accumulations, but a dusting to half an inch will be possible across the region Wednesday morning.  This is part of reinforcing cold and wind that will once again have things feeling frigid come Wednesday evening.  Southwest winds will shift around to the northwest come afternoon helping drive in the arctic air reinforcements.

Cold Close To The Work Week…We’re anticipating a dry close to the work week, but one that’s much colder than average.  In fact, high temperatures both Thursday and Friday will be significantly colder than average lows this time of year.  Brrrrrrr…. Keep the heavy winter gear handy.

Milder, But Wet And Windy…A big Mid West storm system will deliver a rainy and windy time of things Saturday into Monday.  As precipitation moves into the region, a wintry mix of sleet and/ or freezing rain will be possible during the onset early Saturday.  Otherwise, strong and gusty southerly winds will deliver a briefly milder regime come Sunday with periods of heavy rain.  Early indications suggest weekend rainfall totals reach 1″ to 1.5″.

Turning Colder Again…Once our storm system lifts away from the region, colder than normal air will quickly come rushing back into central Indiana to open up the short Thanksgiving week.  More details later in regards to a potential storm system brewing closer to Thanksgiving, itself…

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: Dusting – 0.50″
  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1.00 – 1.50″

Two Weekend Snow Events…The morning is off to a sunny, frosty, and frigid start with middle teens for many central Indiana communities.  Mid and high level cloudiness will stream into the region through the afternoon before lowering and thickening towards evening.  An area of light snow will then overspread central Indiana towards 6-7 o’clock.  This won’t be a huge snow event, but a dusting to less than 1″ will fall, especially along and north of the I-70 corridor.  This will be just enough to make for slick travel in places as you head out to church Sunday morning.

The second snow maker will be the more significant one.  Upper level energy will dive south out of the Plains states tonight and help ignite surface low pressure over the lower Mississippi River Valley Sunday morning.  This area of low pressure will then lift northeast and track up along the western slope of the Appalachians into Monday morning.  This will spread accumulating snows northeast into our region as early as Sunday evening, continuing overnight into the wee morning hours Monday.  Our initial snowfall forecast (posted below) places most of central Indiana in a 2-4″ swath of snow from this event, but we caution this still isn’t etched in stone.

Fresh arctic air will pour into the Mid West and Ohio Valley region Monday evening into Tuesday…  That Tuesday morning expected low isn’t a typo, BTW :-).

Bitter Feel And Periods Of Snow Showers…Waves of upper level energy will dive southeast and serve to provide two things: reinforce the cold/ arctic air and provide periods of snow showers.  Gusty northwest winds will also accompany the waves of cold air.  All-in-all, plan on a wintry week ahead!

Questions Concerning Late Next Week…Forecast models are struggling on the details, but we still think a storm system will deliver the chance of snow or a wintry mix of rain and snow late next week.  Details to come in the days ahead.

Arctic Front Moves In…The arctic cold front will slice through the state later this afternoon. Showers will precede the front, but we’re not talking about any sort of heavy rainfall. Blustery southwest winds this morning will shift to the northwest and drive in the much colder, arctic, air this afternoon and evening with falling temperatures.

Cold Stretch…Temperatures will remain well below normal for the foreseeable future.  Instead of November, it’ll feel more like January!  Sunshine Wednesday will give way to scattered snow showers Thursday as upper dynamics act upon reinforcing arctic air.  We’re back to dry skies to wrap up the work week.

Weekend Snow…We continue to monitor the chance of light snow developing Saturday night into Sunday as reinforcing arctic air blows in.  For now we’ll forecast partly cloudy skies Saturday giving way to increasing evening clouds and developing light snow during the overnight into Sunday.  We’ll fine tune in the days ahead.

Looking ahead, a “bigger” wintry event may loom the middle of next week…

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.10″ – 0.25″
  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 1″
