Sunday Morning Rambles…

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:

  • Snow arrives into central Indiana around 2 o’clock
  • Snow increases in intensity around sunset into the mid evening hours; periodically reaching moderate to heavy levels
  • Uniform 2-4″ snow event tonight for central Indiana, but localized banding features could result in a 5″ report

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:

  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 3″ – 5″
  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.10″
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.
