HEAVY SNOW BURST WITH ARCTIC AIR

SNOW BURSTS & SLICK ROADS... What a way to return to winter after a spring-like first half of the week! The set-up today is very similar to a summer day. Snow bursts and squalls developed under the unstable atmosphere today, and peeks of sun from time to time fueled these heavy bands that produced white-out conditions in spots this afternoon and evening. Some areas saw a few flakes, while other spots receive an inch or more. A clipper system helped enhance the snowfall south of I-70 and all across southern Indiana this evening. Snow is still falling pretty hard in parts of extreme southern Indiana. The counties in blue across southern Indiana are under a WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY until 2am. Many of these counties should end up between 1-2" of snow. Bottom line, do not travel unless it is necessary.

The snow showers continue off/on until late tonight, then mainly dry by the morning commute. However, the roads will likely be SLICK. Allow yourself extra time to reach your destination. Not only that, dangerously cold as well. Temps tomorrow morning will be in the single digits, with wind chills BELOW ZERO. Plenty of school delays already coming in for tomorrow morning. 

BIGGER SNOWS LIKELY THROUGH THE WEEKEND... Based on the latest data, some areas will be dealing with decent snow amounts this weekend. Several disturbances bring snow chances off and on Saturday through Sunday. The biggest hit of snowfall looks to be late Friday night through early Saturday afternoon, then off/on snow showers lasting through Sunday. 

HOW MUCH? Here is my early GUESS on snow potential..

That is still subject to change, so keep it here. I will have another blog update later tomorrow with the latest on the weekend snow potential.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great night.
