Some Snow Potential Next Week And Beyond.

Good evening! Thanks for checking in! Hope everyone has had a blessed Thanksgiving! Before I get the the snowy talk of the blog, let's talk about the current weather. Well, I have been bugged the past couple days of people wondering where the sunshine is that I predicted! :) Well we FINALLY saw the sun towards sunset, and sun and mild temps are a given for tomorrow! (I'm making a real promise on that one, so if it's still overcast tomorrow morning, I give you all rights to  slap me! Hehe alright let's get to you shopping forecast, for those ready to take on a great fight of shoppers at midnight:


Midnight-6am:

Starry and dry. 36-41.


Black Friday:

Morning: Upper 40s/low 50s.


Afternoon: Upper 50's/low 60s.


Be sure to enjoy it, because it's a one and only deal. Changes come for the second half of the holiday weekend. On Saturday, rains will begin to move in for the second part of the day. Here is the GFS timing:


Saturday Evening:



Rain moving into western Indiana.


Saturday Late Evening:



Rain right over us:


Sunday Morning:



Temps falling. rain switching over to a mix.


Sunday Afternoon:



Snow showers/flurries. Windy and cold!!!


Here is a look at that cold air diving in for Sunday/Monday:



The GFS even paints enough to coat some rooftops for Sunday evening!! Next week still has a lot of uncertainties to be solved, and don't be surprised to see last-minute changes to the forecast. Here are two possible outcomes for the Sunday-Tuesday period:


1) Front moves through early Sunday with rain to snow showers/then drying out for the work week.


2) Front moves through early Sunday/with snow showers that last through Tuesday.


Either way, we are still looking at snow showers around here to end the Holiday weekend! I will be sure to keep an eye on this folks.


Dec. 2-3 Winter Storm? Some of the models now try to form a low across southeast KY for next Friday/Saturday, potentially throwing our first accumulating snow our way. To me, the set-up is perfect, with a blast of cold air building in ahead of the storm, and hence we could be talking snow. Take a look at the cold air building for Friday, December 2nd:



Another thing of interest, the NAO (North America Oscillation) is finally showing signs of going negative, and the PNA staying positive. This would allow the system to be suppressed to the south, keeping it all snow for us. This would acually be the same time-frame that we saw our first snow last year. For snow lovers out there, don't get excited about this yet, as things are subject to change with this forecast. Nevertheless, certainly looking wintry over the next several weeks.


Have a great evening, and be sure to check back tomorrow for more updates on weather across the Hoosier state!
