Tracking Snow To Our West!

Good morning! It is a quiet and bitter cold morning, as we set the stage for snow tonight. The radar is quite busy to our west, as a widespread area of light to moderate snow is already moving in St. Louis this morning, and marching north and east!

Now here's the big question: When will the snow arrive? It looks to arrive slightly earlier than thought, but much of the evening rush hour should be spared. The snow will begin to fall in western Indiana by 5pm or so, with the snow beginning in Indy by 7pm. I expect the snow to create very slick driving conditions later this evening.

The snow will continue to fall steady overnight, and will create a potentially slick drive Tuesday morning. I would prepare to leave extra early in the morning! Now how much snow are we going to get?? The models have been very consistent with a widespread 1-2" snowfall, with isolated areas getting 3". Surface temperatures should be cold, due to the arctic airmass over the area this morning. That should help the snow to stick on some roadways.

Don't forget about the radars and weather cams tab at the top of the page! That is very useful to track the snow, and see what road conditions are likely in different portions of the state. I will have updates later this evening, as the snow arrives. If anything changes, I will let you know. Have a great day!
