Highlights:

  • Early Week Rain Maker
  • Keeping An Eye On Mid Week
  • Weekend Winter Storm For Some

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…

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.25″ – 0.50″
  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 1″ – 2″

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.
