Updated Map For 7am Thursday
About an inch of snow fell quickly across the northern half of the state this morning from a quick clipper.
Our holiday storm brings precipitation chances into the area Wednesday afternoon. The types of precip could change if the center of low pressure moves differently, but one thing’s for sure–areas from Wisconsin through Iowa through Kansas could see another foot of snow.
The system will first deliver warmer air aloft, before the surface temperatures warm above freezing. The warming will move from southwest to northeast. It may already be above freezing from Indianapolis southwest when the stuff starts Wednesday afternoon, and it may stay stay that way Wednesday night. But any area northeast of a line from (roughly) Lafayette to Indy to Cincy should be ready for slick spots later Wednesday.
All of central Indiana should be warm enough for plain rain by mid morning Thursday. The amounts Wednesday afternoon and evening should be light. The big moisture will come as rain Thursday afternoon into Christmas Eve night.
White Christmas? Sorta kinda. Rain showers should change over to snow showers on the Big Day, and there could be some light accumulation.
