A Winter Storm  Warning is in effect through Wednesday afternoon at 1:00.

Snowfall potential is significant, with widespread totals in the range of 4-8 inches.  There will be some hometowns with more, especially north of Indianapolis.  The snow will start to fall this evening and become heavy at times on Tuesday.  Right now, we are forecast 1-3 inches on the ground for the morning commute.

More snow and more wind are expected Tuesday and Wednesday.  Snow totals by the time this storm system moves out will be 4-8 inches and higher north.

Stay tuned for any and all updates.

It is nice to have some sun today.  If you look west, there is a cloud deck headed our way.  This is the leading edge of a winter storm that will have a local impact tonight through Wednesday.  Right now it looks like a 2 part event.  The first part arrives tonight bringing a couple of inches of snow by Tuesday morning.  The second part arrives later tomorrow and will linger into early Wednesday.  Snowfall potential with both parts is 4-8 inches, with higher totals possible north.  A winter storm warning is in effect from tonight through 1pm Wednesday.

Forecast 8 is crunching the new numbers, so stay tuned for updates.

A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for most of the viewing area from Midnight tonight until 1:00 pm Wednesday.  Northern Indiana has a Winter Storm Warning until 7:00 pm Wednesday evening (Blackford, Cass, Grant, Huntington, Jay, Miami, White)

WHAT THE NEW MODELS SAY: The 12z models have come in, and they basically reinforce the earlier model runs.  The low pressure system will continue to strengthen as it approaches the state.  The strengthening will help tap into Gulf Moisture.

Radar echoes don’t look impressive now, but again the system is getting batter organized.  The southern phase of the storm is developing and areas like Memphis have seen up to 5″ of snow.

BOTTOM LINE: The graphics from the previous blog look to be good, as do the snowfall totals.  Expect to see some accumulations of near 1″-3″ by the morning commute, then additional accumulations of 3″-5″ by Wednesday morning.  This would put most of the viewing area in the 4″-8″ snow total range.

BLOWING SNOW TUESDAY EVENING: By Tuesday evening, winds will increase back into the 20-25 mile per hour range with higher gusts just like Friday’s storm.  Watch for lots of blowing and drifting snow in outlying areas, that can make driving conditions difficult and possibly dangerous.

WINTER STORM WATCH TONIGHT: Winter Storm Watch begins tonight at 7:00pm tonight and lasts through early Tuesday afternoon.  This system could produce 4″-8″ snow totals.

THIS MORNING: A bitter cold start, especially in the areas with a deep snow pack in eastern Indiana.

REST OF TODAY: Another potent storm system will move towards the state, and by evening should start the next round of snow.  The daytime hours will see clouds build.  Highs will only hit the upper 20’s.

TONIGHT, SNOW CONTINUES: The snow should continue through the night.  Right now, it looks like we could see 1″-3″ snow accumulations by the morning commute.

TUESDAY: Snow will continue through the day.  As the day wears on, winds will pick up, so in addition to falling snow, there will be blowing snow, so roads, especially in the outlying areas could be dangerous. Several more inches are possible during the day.

WEDNESDAY: Snow should finally move out during the day Wednesday, bur not before adding another inch or so of snow.  Again, blowing snow in outlying areas could make driving conditions dangerous.

RIGHT NOW:  Temps are in the teens across Central Indiana and will stay in the teens for lows tonight. Clouds expected to increase through the day on Monday as our next storm system approaches. Snow showers continue to develop across the Plain states and this will bring snow to Central Indiana Late Monday through Wednesday, during this time several inches of snow is expected. Keep it right here with Forecast 8 for all of the up to date details.

MONDAY: More clouds expected throughout the day on Monday as our next storms system takes shape out in the Plains. We will stay dry for the day Monday, but snow is expected to move in late Monday night and for the next 30-36 hours after. Forecast highs remain too cold for this time of year, in the 20s. A Winter Storm Watch will kick in to effect late Monday through Late Tuesday.

TUESDAY: The snow will become more widespread by the morning and looks like it will have an impact of the morning and afternoon  commute Tuesday.  The snow could be heavy at times and is expected to fall throughout the day on Tuesday and through Wednesday morning before tapering off. We could see a widespread range of 4″-8″ throughout Central Indiana with the most snow falling north of Indianapolis. These are early predictions and could change again over the next 12-24 hours, please check back with us for the very latest.
