Impressive Snowstorm…Heavy snowfall rates are occurring within localized bands through central and north-central Indiana as we type this. Within those bands, expect an additional 1″-2″ today. That’s on top of widespread 6″ to 7″ reports throughout the region. (By the way- thank you so much for your snowfall reports and photos)! We love to see them!
Outside of the heavy snow bands, a general light snow will begin to diminish by late afternoon/ early evening as drier air moves in behind a cold front. Colder air will also roll into town tonight and Monday.
Our next storm will provide a wintry mix of sleet, snow, and freezing rain Tuesday morning before transitioning to rain. That said, data that suggested we would see 50 degree+ highs Tuesday are finally coming to the realization we have quite the snowpack across the area. We’ll rise into the lower 40s, but cold air will rush right back in here Tuesday night and Wednesday and potentially set us up for a very interesting mid week period.
For now model data ranges between a significant winter storm to simply dry and bitterly cold. We’ll split the difference for now and maintain mention of snow in our Wednesday forecast as secondary energy develops a wave of low pressure along the pressing front. Does that winter storm impact the Ohio Valley or areas of the Deep South? We’ll continue to sort through the details. I will say the UKMET has been most consistent of our forecast models over the past several weeks, and it’s quite bullish on the Ohio Valley winter storm scenario. Never a dull moment around these parts…
Regardless of what happens Wednesday, fresh bitter cold air will pour in here to wrap up the work week.
