One round of rain and two shots at snow before Christmas Day in Indiana.
TODAY
Radar simulations via weatherbell.com, first for 1pm today, showing the showers approaching from the west.
We will be getting what’s left of the storm that roared through California a few days ago. Around here: not so much. Rain amounts look to be about .40″ or less by Tuesday afternoon.
The Monday morning weather map shows low pressure in the Plains, and it will trudge to the the northeast today and tomorrow. The track means it’s a rain thing for us.
And then Tuesday morning, when the low begins pulling away to the northeast….
By Tuesday night the precip is light (if any) and a final cold front ushers in the possibility of a few flakes mixing in.
More than a few flakes may fly Saturday. I’ve been talking snow chances on that day since the middle of last week, and it still looks likely. The best chances will come in the southern half of Indiana, where several inches could fall. More like a couple of inches in the Indy metro area. And there’s one more snow chance on…. (wait for it) Christmas Eve! Again: another couple of inches is possible. But that’s nine days away. Your mileage may vary. Rudolph is standing by.
