Today we will have increasing clouds with showers arriving in the evening from north to south. Temperatures will vary with near 60 in far southern Indiana to the 40's north of I-70.
A rapidly moving area of rain and snow will work in through the evening. It will start as rain, but as colder air works in, we will have a period of light snow. I suspect the change to snow occurring in Indianapolis between 9 and 10 this evening, earlier to the north, and later than that south. Here is what the radar should look like around 10pm...
A few slick spots are possible later this evening once the snow takes over, but should not cause too many problems thanks to the warm surface temperatures. How much snow? Not much! Unless you are near the lake in northern Indiana! From Indy and points north and east, a coating to 1" is possible, with only a dusting in spots southwest of there. Here is my snowfall forecast...
If you are a snow lover, you need to head to areas between South Bend and Gary where several inches of snow may fall.
The bigger story by all means is the cold air coming in. When you step outside tomorrow morning, wind chills will be in the teens, with air temps in the 20's. Temperatures tomorrow just won't warm up with highs in the low to mid 30's. Factor in a gusty north wind, and wind chill readings will be stuck in the 20's. I think many areas will be in the teens Wednesday morning!
The bitter cold does not hang too long, much warmer air will arrive by Thursday afternoon and beyond. I will post a 7-day forecast on my Facebook page later today.
Have a great day!
