Indications are that not one, but two storm systems will impact the region during the Christmas to New Year time period. This is part of the shift back to more…

1.) Light snow will try and spread towards central Indiana Thursday, but this will really run into dry air and struggle to make it into the area. Radars to our…

Highlights:
Showers; Turning Colder Late…Showers will remain in our forecast today. Most widespread rain will occur during the early morning hours, but we’ll maintain mention of light showers in our forecast even into the afternoon. Winds will be gusty and help drive colder air into central Indiana later this evening. We forecast nearly steady temperatures during the morning and afternoon hours before falling temperatures during the evening.
Dry, But Cold Mid Week…We’ll welcome a drier regime for the midweek period, along with partly to mostly cloudy skies and colder conditions.
Eyeing The Weekend…There’s not much change in our overall thinking of a potentially snowy first half of the weekend for some. Monday featured run-to-run inconsistencies on our weekend storm system and we fully expect additional changes within the model data during the next couple of days. In building our forecasts we factor in current data, but also rely on past data of storm tracks with similar setups.
At the end of the day (and despite model inconsistencies) we still think one area of low pressure heads northeast out of the mid MS River Valley into the Ohio Valley Friday night into Saturday. A secondary area of low pressure is then expected to organize along the mid Atlantic coast Saturday afternoon. Widespread light snow should build into the Ohio Valley Saturday with the above set up. Exactly where heavier snow sets up is still up for much debate and will require fine tuning as we move forward.
Christmas Travelers Keep Close Tabs On The Forecast…After our first opportunity of potential wintry weather we’ll enjoy only a day or two of calmer weather in between storms. Longer range data suggests we need to keep abreast of another winter event just prior to Christmas.

Additional showers will rotate through central Indiana during the overnight, followed by a colder mid week stretch. All eyes remain on the weekend for an impactful winter weather event across…

Highlights:
Early Week Storm System…An area of low pressure will scoot though the Ohio Valley Monday into Tuesday delivering showers to the region. We forecast rain to arrive late morning to early afternoon Monday across central Indiana. We’re not expecting heavy rain, but plan on taking the rain gear with you as you leave for work and/ or school. Colder air will filter into the state Tuesday afternoon setting up a cold mid week period.
Some forecast models have hinted at the threat of light wintry precipitation Wednesday into Thursday, but for now we’re keeping this out of our official forecast and instead going with a mostly cloudy, but dry mid week period.
Developing Weekend Winter Storm…All eyes will focus on a significant weekend winter storm event. Details on track are still up for debate with this being in the mid range period and we’ll keep close tabs as we move forward through the week. As of now we forecast increasing clouds through the day Friday with light snow developing late Friday night and continuing into Saturday. Snowfall totals will obviously depend on the track of the low and we’re still a few days away from being able to provide any sort of specific accumulation ideas. Guidance right now ranges from a “plowable” event to one that misses us to the south and east. Stay tuned.
The weather pattern continues to look cold and active in the days leading up to, and through, the Christmas and New Year’s period. Buckle up for a fun ride…

1.) It’s nice to see the sun for once. While we’ll still have mid and high level cloudiness to deal with later today, we’ll gladly take what we can get of the good ole vitamin D this time of the year!
2.) Rain over the Thursday-Friday period followed along very closely to what modeling suggested. Heaviest rains fell central and south.
3.) A cold front will move through Monday evening with a few showers, gusty winds, and set up a cold week, overall.
4.) In the long range, we continue to really like the looks of things from a winter weather lover’s point of view. Undercutting jet supplying storm potential, arctic intrusion, and a blocky look… Details will have to be sorted through as time draws closer, but from this perspective, the pattern continues to look like it’s heading towards one capable of widespread colder than normal air and winter storm potential Christmas week.

First Plowable Snow Of The Season…It may only be mid November, but we’re already talking about our first plowable snow of the season. Let’s get right to the bullet point details of what you need to know:
Our snowfall forecast first issued Saturday morning remains. The falling snow should be east of the region before the morning commute gets underway Monday, but the damage will already be done. Our snow removal companies will be hard at work across the region. The big story Monday will be fresh arctic air invading through the day along with gusty winds and renewed snow showers developing Monday night.
Periodic Snow Showers; Reinforcing Arctic Air…If you haven’t realized another wintry week was upon us, now you will! Individual disturbances will move southeast into mid week helping to serve as arctic air reinforcements and snow shower producers. Another important note- wind chill values will be below zero Tuesday morning. Plan on severe cold.
Late Week Storm System…The details are “murky,” but a storm system will attack the cold air late week with a wintry mix of rain and snow. More around this in the days ahead. For now, the focus remains on tonight’s snow event.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
Our snowfall forecast remains unchanged from Saturday morning, but we’ll include mention of isolated 5″ reports across central Indiana to account for banding potential.
