AFTERNOON OUTLOOK.. Talk about a battle between clouds and blue sky! The skies are sunny across western & northern Indiana, but a rather gloomy sky overhead south and east of Indy, into much of southeastern Indiana. It is tough to get clouds to erode quickly this time of year due to the low sun angle, but I will stay optimistic that everyone sees at least some sun before the day is gone. 

SYSTEM TO WATCH TOMORROW..  After a mild Thursday, a line of showers looks to move across the state tomorrow evening. As colder air filters in during the night, the rain will change to snow briefly mainly north of I-70. Far northern Indiana could see accumulating snow, perhaps 1-3" for South Bend, Goshen areas, then little to no accumulation for the rest of the area. Right now I don't expect much if any accumulating snow in central Indiana. 

DRY START TO WEEKEND, WARMER & WET END? Great weather moves in for Friday and Saturday, with sunshine and temps near average. Warmer temperatures and rain looks likely later Sunday into Monday. I wouldn't rule out a couple thunderstorms for southern Indiana with this pattern set-up. Right now severe weather doesn't look too likely. Rainfall potential for now doesn't look too impressive locally, but heavy rains for parts of the south.

HISTORIC, MAJOR SNOWSTORM HEADED FOR THE NORTH-EAST.. A HUGE nor'easter is looking likely Friday-Friday night for the northeast. Winds gusting over 70 mph and snow up to 2-4 FEET deep is looking possible for areas from Boston up to Maine. CRAZY, CRAZY, CRAZY stuff. Definitely something to watch, especially if you have any travel plans or family in that area.

VALENTINE'S DAY SNOWSTORM FOR INDIANA?.. Well that is exactly what the GFS & ECMWF models are showing (attached below) for Indiana! Lots can change but definitely something to watch for all the snow-lovers dying for one more good storm before spring! :) 

Thanks for reading, have a great rest of the day.
