QUIET PATTERN NOW - INTERESTING NEXT WEEK?

The blog is back!!!! :) I have done a temporary blog called Indiana Weather Center, as this one was having some issues. Everything appears to be working normal again, so I will update this blog now!

The weather over the next few days is simple. Sunny, warm up to 50's on Friday. Cooler and cloudier by the weekend, with a few systems to our north and south, but Indiana will be dry, with a cooler air mass moving in. 38-45 degrees areawide.

This now leads us to next week. It appears another warm-up to begin the week, but a major trough moving in around the 11th-12th. As the trough begins to develop in the Plains, a big storm looks to move in (or just southeast of us) on Wednesday. The big million dollar question here... will it phase with the northern stream. That would have a HUGE impact on forecast, as phasing means bigger storm/colder air involved. Right now, I think the storm phases just our east. Here is the timeline on the GFS model:

Wednesday Afternoon:

Storm passes to our south. No phasing.


Wednesday Night:

Storms phase to produce big snowstorm east of us. Light snow locally.


Thursday:

Wrap-around light snow/flurries. Cold air in place!


This will still need to be watched very closely in the coming days! I think has the potential to be a major storm locally, but we may be a hair too far west for all the phasing. One thing for sure, it will get COLD for the end of next week!

BRING ON THE SNOW!
