TODAY: Colder air has arrived in central Indiana, and we will see pockets of flurries and snow showers.  Temperatures should hover in the low to mid 30’s most of the day.

TONIGHT: Temperatures should drop below freezing, so a Freeze Warning has been issued for tonight through mid-morning Tuesday.

TUESDAY: Another cold day with some flurries.  Highs will be a bit milder in the upper 30’s to lower 40’s.

The official observation at the airport in Lafayette is reporting rain, but some snow showers aren’t far behind.  Spotty snow showers are moving in as a weather system weakens while passing through the state.  Be careful on the roadways, as some spots may be slick.  Snow accumulations should be under 1″ and in mainly grassy areas (north of I-70).

Spotty sprinkles and light rain showers continue to fall around central Indiana. Flurries and snow showers are approaching the state line, and should move from SW to NE this morning and this afternoon.  It looks more and more like any accumulations should be north of I-70, and should be under 1″, and mainly in grassy areas.

THIS MORNING: Spotty pockets of light rain will linger for the morning hours.  Temperatures should hover in the upper 30’s.

TODAY: The upper-level core of the storm system will slide through today.  The question remains what will happen with the band of snow in Illinois?  There is some intense wrap-around moisture on the back side of this system.  All indications are that as this system lifts NE, the band will weaken, as it moves NE.  This means that the highest chances of any minor snow accumulations would occur in the far NW and N parts of the viewing area.  I must say this will be a close call, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see a dusting or minor accum. closer to the metro area.

MONDAY: The chill from today will quickly leave the state Monday.  Milder air will race into the state, and push highs back into the upper 50’s for most of the viewing area.  It should be a quiet day with some clouds mixing with sunshine by afternoon.

TODAY: A powerful storm system out of the southern Plains will rumble in our direction.  Scattered rain will develop first by late morning ahead of a warm front.

The highest chances of severe weather will occur south of I-70, where along and south of a warm front, we will find the most unstable part of the atmosphere.  Watch for damaging wind, large hail, and isolated tornadoes in those locations.

SUNDAY: Colder air will sweep in behind the system, and with some moisture left behind, we could see snow showers off and on throughout the day.  If there will be any accumulation, it would be in extreme northwestern parts of the viewing area, and mainly on grassy areas.

Near-ground temps are still above freezing in many locations, so this little burst of snow is not adding up to accumulations.  Expect some pesky snow showers to continue as temperatures start to fall.  Accumulations should be minor if any around the metro area.

Wintry Mix #2 continues to surge into the metro area.  South of I-70 mainly rain mixing with sleet…north of I-70, some brief bursts of heavy snow.  Some of the initial snow may melt, because surface temperatures are in the mid to upper 30’s and low 40’s.  So I think the accumulations will hold.  Just watch for dicey roads.

There is a very shallow layer of warm air near the surface that is playing with precipitation types.  Terre Haute is at 41, Lafayette is at 40, so things could briefly stay in the form of rain until colder air arrives.  I still think we will see lower snow totals as a result.  Watch for slick roads regardless.

Most of wave one of the wintry weather has moved through the state.  Warmer air has surged into the state.  This may mean more rain for rain than snow for wave 2.  I am leaning towards knocking down snow totals to 1″ or less for most of the viewing area, but will wait another hour to see if things stay as rain as it passes through.

The light wintry mix continues to race through the state.  Activity has pretty much ended from Indy – points west.  We have no reports of accumulation so far, and with numbers climbing above freezing, whatever is on the ground is melting as warmer air arrives.

It appears that warmer air will move north, so I am leaning on the low end of snowfall projections.  More in a bit.
