The storm system that looked like it may provide central Indiana accumulating snow earlier this week is, indeed, remaining south. Portions of southern parts of the state will see light…

Forecast Updated: 03.15.14 @ 8:53a
Nice Today; MUCH Colder Sunday. . .Today will easily be the pick of the weekend as mostly sunny skies dominate along with seasonable temperatures. Get outside and enjoy!
We continue to watch a southern storm system for the second half of the weekend and while model data trended north Thursday, the common theme most of Friday into this morning has been back south. As such, we’ll lean towards a less snowy forecast Sunday for central Indiana, but note if you have travel plans to the southern third of the state that accumulating snow and ice will greet you Sunday. Here across central Indiana look for a rather cloudy and MUCH colder day. In fact, temperatures won’t even make it to the freezing mark with a very strong east to northeast wind in play. Winds may gust as high as 35 MPH Sunday afternoon, making it feel like the single digits and teens.
Relatively Quiet Week. . .Modeling continues to struggle with the timing and strength of storm systems in the week ahead, but current thinking takes the storm track primarily north of our area next week, meaning less impact (from rain or snow chances) here. We caution that this can change and we’ll keep a close eye on things, but we’re trending our forecast towards a quieter one for now. The next system of note will be a fast moving low pressure area and associated cold front that will pass here Tuesday into Wednesday. A scattered shower and wind shift will occur with this system, but, as stated above, the majority of the more significant “weather” will lie to our north.
A brief warming trend to well above normal temperatures may carry us to close out the work week before the next systems eyes our area later next weekend.

I know many are saying thankfully we aren’t dealing with this kind of weather today. After a harsh winter, it’s always nice to see the sunshine and milder temperatures return. Today we take you back to a snowy Zionsville from February 17th. This shot was taken by Janet Baker. Thanks, Janet!

It’s an extremely busy morning here and we won’t have time to post the fresh 7-Day forecast until this evening. After a round of thunderstorms overnight, precipitation has now transitioned…

1.) We don’t really have any changes to the going snowfall accumulation forecast we have out concerning Wednesday. We think Indianapolis accumulates 2″, with heavier amounts north of the city…

Forecast Updated 03.10.14 @ 7:55a
Windy Warm Up…A weak weather system will scoot north of IND this morning, but may be close enough to push a couple of very light showers into our northern suburbs during the mid to late morning period. We note the latest HRRR model does just that. Precipitation amounts, if any, north of the city will be very light and not much more than a trace. Otherwise the big story today will be a gusty southwest wind and much warmer temperatures. We think highs zero in on the 60 degree mark by this afternoon as southwest winds gust over 30 MPH.
This then sets the stage for a “chamber of commerce” weather day Tuesday with lots of sunshine and temperatures in the lower 60s.
Wintry Trouble Brewing…We continue to monitor the “goings on” for an accumulating snow event in here on Wednesday. Low pressure will scoot across southern portions of the state Wednesday morning and help spread what will initially be rain into the region during the wee morning hours. As the low deepens heading east it’ll tap much colder air looming just north of our area and result in a transition from rain to snow Wednesday morning from north to south. A heavy, wet snow is likely to fall during the mid to late morning hours before ending. The other aspect of this system will be a very stiff northeast wind and this will lead to blowing and drifting problems for some. Our expected snowfall accumulation idea ranges from 2-5″ of heavy, wet snow north of the city with 2″, or less, anticipated for the city and points south. We’ll fine tune these amounts later, but feel our initial idea remains a good one this morning.
Thursday will return to the dry theme though much colder than what the early week period was.
Questions Heading Into Next Weekend…Forecast models are having difficulty handling what’s going to be a very active northwest flow regime later in the weekend into the following week. We’re concerned at least one of the systems diving in from Canada has the chance to phase with the southern stream and crank out another snow event for the Ohio Valley during the time frame mentioned above, but we’re not confident on which system this will be just yet.
