Latest on Winter Weather Potential

THIS MORNING: VIPIR shows light snow falling on radar, but all indications are that snow is not reaching the ground.  The low levels of the atmosphere are pretty dry for the moment, so it may take a few hours to saturate the atmosphere enough for snow to reach the ground.

REST OF TODAY: A stalled out frontal boundary to the south will try to sneak back north.  The atmosphere will start to moisten up from the top down, and eventually, precipitation will hit the ground.  Another upper-level disturbance to our west will send some precipitation over northern parts of thre state.  Right now, that looks to be the location of the heavy snow totals.  Southern Indiana could see some heavier precipitation, but it may be more ice than snow.

WEDNESDAY: All activity should wind down, and just leave mainly cloudy skies in its wake.  Highs will be chilly, and only top out around 30.
