A Nice Close To The Weekend. . .After a cold, wet, and snowy Saturday, it’ll be nice to have a full day of sunshine as we put a wrap on the weekend. While we’re getting off to a cold and frosty start, that increasingly powerful late March sun angle will help warm temperatures quickly.

Weak Front. . .A moisture starved front will cross the region late Monday night into early Tuesday. While a light shower is possible as this front limps through the region, we’re keeping our forecast dry for now. Regardless, Monday will be a very nice day, despite an increasing southwest breeze. Tuesday will be equally as nice, just a few degrees cooler.

Big Rains For Mid/ Late Week. . .The Gulf will open up for business in the days ahead and this will keep our neck of the woods rather wet Wednesday through Friday. Periods of rain will fall Wednesday and Thursday, and temperatures will be cooler thanks to an easterly breeze. All in all, Wednesday and Thursday will be wet, raw days. We’ll get into some warmer air ahead of a strong cold front Friday and this will increase thunderstorm chances, including the potential of a couple strong storms. We think rainfall totals between Wednesday and Friday could reach between 1.5″ and 2″.

Chilly Weekend. . .A colder air mass will build into the region behind Friday’s front. While sunshine will return Saturday, temperatures will go backwards. Couple a strong northwest breeze into the mix and Saturday could be a pretty chilly day.

Big, wet snow flakes were falling fast and furious Saturday morning. John Salewicz sent in this photo of the heavy snow falling in Zionsville Saturday morning. Thanks, John!

Covering Gusty Storms Tonight And Saturday Snow…

Busy times in the forecast office continues. We are eyeing potentially noisy thunderstorms later tonight and the threat of wet accumulating snow for portions of the area Saturday. Details can…

Busy Pattern…

A busy weather pattern will keep us on our toes with two storm systems of note between now and Saturday.

Periods of showers will keep most of today wet. While it won’t rain the entire time, periods of moderate to heavy showers are possible today. A quick punch of milder air will arrive this afternoon after a chilly start to the day, combined with a strengthening south wind. Total rainfall today and tonight should average half an inch, or less.

Highs today will reach the lower 50s, despite the showers.

Latest simulated radar data shows the potential of a line of thunderstorms moving through here late tonight, directly associated with the cold front. A strong storm is possible along with gusty winds as the front slides through early Friday morning.

As if all of this wasn’t enough, another storm system will arrive Saturday. This system will have a wintry component to it, with the chance of a stripe of wet snow along the northern shield of precipitation. It’ll require our attention as we move forward. March storms have been known to have a surprise or two and it’s our job to try and help eliminate any of these surprises.

Unseasonably Cold And Tracking Snow. . .It sure won’t feel like late March around these parts to kick off the new work week. Instead, we’ll deal with a biting north wind and temperatures more comparable to January. Needless to say, certainly plan to grab the coat on the way out the door.

As we move into the evening hours clouds will begin to increase and light snow and scattered snow showers will arrive tonight into Tuesday morning. This won’t be a big deal and we’re still anticipating little, if any, accumulation for most (perhaps up to half an inch in localized spots). All the same, for a region that’s been brutally cold and snowy for month on end, this probably won’t be a welcome with “arms wide open” type of forecast.

South Winds Deliver Warmer Air. . .A gusty southwest wind will blow milder air north into the region Thursday. Along with the milder air will come moisture and we forecast showers to develop Thursday with a potential thunderstorm Thursday night into Friday morning as a cold front slides through the region.

Nice Weekend. . .Though Saturday will be colder than normal, sunshine should return for the weekend. Furthermore, we’ll enjoy a southerly flow of air by Sunday which may help temperatures reach close to 60!

Forecast Updated 03.20.14 @ 7:45a

Sunshine Returns. . .After a cloudy and windy Wednesday, it’ll be great to see the sun today! With that March sun, temperatures will recover from another very cold start- we should climb into the lower 50s this afternoon.

Early Warm Front. . .A warm front will lift north through the region early Friday morning and could spark a light shower as it moves through the area. Otherwise, sunshine should return Friday with a gusty southwest wind helping temperatures zoom into the lower to middle 60s across central Indiana.

Back To The Cold. . .A cold front will sweep the state Saturday morning and could result in a light shower or two as it passes. This won’t be a big deal and the bigger story will actually be the return of cold/ windy weather.

Though we’ll enjoy more in the way of sunshine Sunday as compared to Saturday, temperatures will be colder as yet another arctic high settles over the region.

Light Snow Maker. . .Some upper level energy will cross the Ohio Valley Tuesday and provide just enough moisture to go along with our cold air to result in some light snow Tuesday. We’re not thinking much in the way of accumulation, but a few areas could see some light snowfall Tuesday and we’ll continue to monitor this.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

7-Day Snowfall Forecast: Less than 1″
7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.10″-0.25″
