Bitterly Cold Start…Take a look at the 8a central Indiana weather roundup, courtesy of the National Weather Service:
INZ030>032-037>040-046>048-054>057-064-065-111400- CENTRAL INDIANA CITY SKY/WX TMP DP RH WIND PRES REMARKS INDIANAPOLIS MOCLDY -4 -10 75 N3 30.46R -EAGLE CREEK MOCLDY -8 -14 74 NW6 30.46R WCI -21 KOKOMO *+ PTCLDY -20 -26 76 CALM 30.46R MARION + MOCLDY N/A N/A N/A CALM 30.47S MT COMFORT *+ PTCLDY -17 -20 83 CALM 30.46R SHELBYVILLE PTCLDY -9 -15 75 CALM 30.47R ZIONSVILLE + PTCLDY -15 -22 71 CALM 30.46R
This just makes me shiver! We note temperatures as low as 16 degrees below zero reported at Zionsville this morning just after 7 o’clock. Today will be another brutally cold day, but sunshine will prevail. Arctic high pressure will remain anchored over our region and result in another bitterly cold night tonight, but not as cold as it was last night/ this morning.
Midweek Moderation…We’ll begin to get into a westerly and southwesterly air flow Wednesday into Thursday in advance of our next snow maker. While temperatures will remain below average levels, it’ll feel nice to go above freezing Thursday, albeit briefly. Gusty southwest winds could offset the relatively milder feel Thursday, as gusts may approach 25-30 MPH by afternoon.
Meanwhile, a major winter storm will impact the Deep South and result in heavy snow and ice accumulations. My old stomping ground of Johnson County, TN will likely accumulate 7-10″ of heavy, wet snow Wednesday into Thursday morning.
Tracking Two Snow Systems…We continue to have a couple questions around two snow makers Friday and Saturday. The Canadian forecast model remains most aggressive in snow production, delivering a full-blown snow storm Friday with 4-6″ totals while the GFS suggests we struggle to accumulate 1″ Friday. We’re continuing to go with a blend between the two, and side with the European model for now. This would suggest 1-2″ of snow Friday followed by another fast moving clipper system Saturday that could deposit another 1″, or so. Stay tuned as we continue to fine tune the Friday-Saturday forecast.
Milder Air, But Wet…Our next storm system will move in Monday and looks to primarily be a rain maker. Who thought highs approaching 40 (seasonal levels) would feel warm?! After this brutally cold winter, it’ll feel just that!
