Winter Weather Advisory - Tuesday

January 5th, 2009 at 10:29 pm by Angela Buchman under Uncategorized, Weather

Winter Weather Advisory 4am through 1pm Tuesday.

A developing weather system will arrive overnight.  As the moisture spreads north, it will collide with cold air.  This combination will lead to light snow and freezing rain chances by daybreak.

The heaviest precipitation will stay to our south, but even a light wintry mix can cause slick roads.  Watch Daybreak at 5am on WISH-TV and another hour of local news at 7am on MyINDY-TV.  Snow showers will linger into Wednesday.  In those areas where it stays all snow, an inch or two is possible.  Colder air arrives on Wednesday, with highs only in the upper 20s and lower 30s.

There is another chance for snow late Friday.


Winter Weather Advisory - Early Tuesday

January 5th, 2009 at 4:50 pm by Angela Buchman under Weather

It will not be a lot of precipitation, but just enough for some slick roads early Tuesday.  The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for a good part of our area for the early half of Tuesday.

It will be dry this evening.  Sometime after midnight, some light snow and freezing rain will develop.

Remember 24 Hour News 8 Daybreak starts at 5am and there is another hour of news on MYINDY-TV at 7am.  Temperatures will be in the lower and middle 30s and cold enough for some snow showers or a light wintry mix.  There will not be much in the way of accumulations, but just enough for a few slick spots.

Colder air pushes south for mid-week and a few snow showers will linger into Wednesday.

There is another chance for snow late Friday and Saturday.
