Winter Weather Advisory Extended

January 6th, 2009 at 4:43 pm by Angela Buchman under Weather

The winter weather advisory has been extended until midnight for the northern half of our area.

As temperatures dip below freezing, the freezing drizzle will change to flurries and snow showers.

A few flurries and snow showers are possible on Wednesday too.  Little or no accumulation is expected.  Wednesday will be breezy and cold, with highs in the upper 20s and lower 30s.

Behind that trough of low pressure analyzed on Forecast 8 Futurecast, there will be even colder air.  Forecast highs will be near 30 degrees on Thursday.

A brief break from the winter chill arrives behind the warm front, with highs near 40 degrees on Friday.  This will be brief, as more cold air arrives this weekend.

Winter Weather Advisory Today

January 6th, 2009 at 5:21 am by Randy Ollis under Weather

A WInter Weather Advisory is in effect for much of central Indiana until 1PM this afternoon. Forecast 8 VIPIR Radar is indicating light freezing rain and sleet moving into the southern half of the state. Major accidents have already been reported just south of Vincennes on Highway 41. This precipitation should be light but as we all know it doesn’t take much to slick up the roads. Allow yourself extra time if you are heading off to school or work. Warmer air should change the precipitation over to all rain this afternoon.

Colder air will move into the region on Wednesday producing flurries and snow showers. Right now it appears any accumulations should be an inch or less. High pressure will bring cold but dry weather for Thrusday and Friday.


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.
