ARCTIC AIR - ICE - 60 DEGREES - SEVERE STORMS! ALL IN THREE DAYS! DAYS! G

Viewer-submitted photo of snowfall on Jan. 19, 2012.
Good evening! As expected, a streak of snow moved through the state today. Amounts ranged from absolutely nothing here south of I70, to 2-4" of snowfall today from Lafayette, Kokomo, to Muncie. (The picture to the right was taken in north-central Indiana, where a few inches accumulated today.



Cold Night Ahead


Now it's all about the COLD night ahead. It is 15 degrees in Indy, and 2 degrees in Chicago. Wind chills are way below zero. Be sure to get the pets indoors tonight! Lows will range from 4-8 degrees where snow fell today, with areas that didn't get snow today in the lower teens. "Feel-like" temps will be even colder! Bundle up in the layers!


Wintry Mix Tomorrow Night


It still looks like we will have to watch out for a light mixture of ice/sleet/snow tomorrow night. Here is a breakdown from north to south:



One thing that continues to make the forecast tough, is that the precipitation will be scattered, so some areas across central or southern Indiana may get hardly any precipitation, while other areas get over 1/10" of icing. It is the areas to the north that will be the worst areas to travel tomorrow night. Still be aware for the potential for a glaze of ice making things very slick tomorrow evening, mainly from 7pm-1am.

Spring-Like Temps - Severe Storms Sunday night-Monday?


Thinking is increasing on a RAPID warm-up Sunday! The latest trends show temps going WELL into the 50's OVERNIGHT Sunday night - into Monday morning! That is just 36 hours after the ice potential tomorrow night! One crazy pattern we are in! It looks strong storms will develop in a VERY unstable atmosphere early Monday. Temps should fall again late Monday, with cooler air Tuesday.




Thanks for checking the blog! Be sure to check back tomorrow for more on the light icing tomorrow night, and the severe potential late Sunday into early Monday! A WILD ride ahead for sure! Have a great night!
