High pressure will continue to produce some sunshine and mild temperatures through Friday. Highs this afternoon and tomorrow should climb into the mid-upper 60s. Our normal high is now 52 degrees.

Our next storm should arrive for the latter portion of the weekend. The models keep taking the low pressure system farther to the south which means a better chance for accumulating snow across northern Indiana on Sunday. I have included a snowfall potential map which indicates  a 10% chance of at least 4″ or more of snow across the northern portions of the state on Sunday. Total precipitation from the storm may exceed an inch of liquid by Monday morning.

We are getting off to a great start on this Thursday morning. Look for lots of sunshine and highs climbing into the middle 60s.

As we head into the weekend a new storm will roll into the Ohio Valley. The computer models keep taking this storm farther to the south. Showers & storms Saturday night may change to a wet snow on Sunday. Portions of northern Indiana could see some minor accumulation as we head into Sunday evening.
