Mostly to partly sunny today, and it will be mostly clear tonight and President’s Day. A storm system to the south may keep some extra clouds around in the southern of Indiana today. Near normal temps for a day today, then back in familiar above normal territory much of the work week. Rain returns Tuesday, maybe as early as the overnight hours Tuesday morn.

Mrs. P and I were outside Saturday and we decided our lawn has never really gone dormant this winter, obviously a result of winter going dormant this winter. If you want to see some white, head for the blue… grass of Kentucky. Like Lexington, where a couple of inches of snow is expected today. They are catching the backlash around low pressure traveling from Georgia to the coast of North Carolina today. As much as 8 inches could fall in West Virginia. In one day. That’s almost as much as Indy’s seen this season!

The Sunday Snow Scoreboard has us at 9.1 inches for the season. Normal is 21.2 inches, and we were at 33.5 inches last year at this time. There doesn’t seem to be any big snow chance in the coming week….and then…it’s almost March. You don’t have to be a member of the American Meteorological Society to forecast that this winter will end up featuring below normal snowfall totals for central Indiana.

(Can you hear me knocking wood right now? Just checking.)

Snow to the north of me, snow to the south, here I am, stuck in the middle with sun….

The snow to the north hits Michigan today, and it could snow near and just south of the Ohio River tonight into Sunday. Virginia is for (snow) lovers this weekend, with the heaviest snow falling in West Virginia. That will come tonight and tomorrow, from a storm soaking the South today. Mardi Gras festivities (“festivities” seems too weak a word) in New Orleans face the threat of flooding rains and severe weather. Bad weather chances there will be thinner by Fat Tuesday.

Back here in The Middle, some sun Saturday, and more clouds Saturday night and Sunday morning. We could force a few flurries Saturday night. No big storms in Indiana this weekend, but if I was picking my day for the park or the trail…I’d go today. Even though it will be colder tomorrow, it won’t be as cold as LAST weekend. There have only been four below normal temperature days this month, and they all came consecutively, starting the Friday before last weekend, and lasting though last Monday.

Highs across Indiana today:
37 South Bend, with an all-day chance of snow showers and flurries…
41 Lafayette
41 Muncie/Marion
42 Anderson
43 Indy
44 Terre Haute
46 Bloomington
52 Evansville, with an afternoon and evening chance of rain and snow showers south of the Ohio Rive…

Central Indiana’s quiet weather lasts until Tuesday, which may be the only rain or snow day of the week. The latest 6-10 day outlook arrived yesterday, taking us to almost the end of the month with a general prediction of normal temps and above normal precipitation.

Long distance information gave me Memphis, Tennessee as today’s destination for a sprawling arctic high pressure system. Clockwise air flow around that system yields west winds for Indiana today, and unfortunately, those winds still look to be a bit breezy, perhaps gusting around 20-25 mph. But sun should rule today, so we’ve got THAT going for us.

Highs around the state today include 28 in the Bend, and 29 in Lafayette, Muncie, and Anderson. It should be right around 30 in the Haute and Indy. Highs will hit 32 in Bloomington and Columbus, and 33 in Evansville.

Friday night’s snow added less than an inch to most totals from around Metro Indy. The season to date total is 7.4 inches. The average at this point is 19.5 inches, and 33.5 was the number at this point last year.

Snow WAS big in the northwest part of the state, with 11.5 inches falling near LaPorte, thanks to the Lake Effect Machine. South Bend saw 3.6 inches, but the season to date total of 45.2 inches is also lower than average there, and half the 97.8 (!) inch total of last year. How low is the snow? Lake Effect Powersports in Benton Harbor told South Bend’s abc57.com that they’ve sold about half the normal amount of sleds, and snowmobile sales are the lowest in at least 6 years.

Some snow returns to metro Indy Monday night. Neither drive time Monday will be affected, but snow chances will still be around Tuesday morning, before mixing with and changing to rain by Tuesday afternoon. This looks like another 1-2 inch threat, but – once again – it may melt quickly.

What’s the biggest weather story today? The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind. Blame last night’s Arctic cold front for frigid, frisky breezes gusting to 30 mph today. That will keep chills in the single digits during the day, and near zero tonight. It won’t be quite as windy tomorrow, and the prospects of sun are stronger. Today you’ll get mostly to partly cloudy skies, and flurries might be around, especially in the morning and midday, and especially to the north and northeast of Indianapolis.

Highs across Indiana today in some of my radio cities: 21 in Lafayette, 22 in Marion/Muncie, 23 in South Bend, Anderson and Indy, and 26 in Evansville. Morning and midday Lake Effect snow in South Bend – combined with yesterday – should yield a total of 2-4 inches. (I know, I promised you 1-3 on Friday morning’s broadcasts.)

I talk about the next two storm systems in today’s Star@Sunrise weather video, but neither will have you reaching for the shovel. Temps should return to above normal Wednesday.

Temperatures have been way BELOW normal in Europe, and snow has also fallen in some unusual places. Rome, Italy for example has picked up significant snow twice in the last week.

Meanwhile, back in the USA, the unusually mild weather for many this winter has produced an interesting effect. Areas that are typically cold enough to produce “ice wine” have struggled. To earn the designation of ice wine the product has to come from grapes that were at least partially frozen on the vine. That requires temperatures down to at least about 17 degrees, to solidify the water inside the fruit. When the dehydrated grapes is pressed, what emerges is the sugary portion of the juice, which ends up as ice wine, which has become very popular lately. Would-be ice wine makers in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and New York haven’t had a sweet season so far. But if Vanilla Ice can comeback, anything’s possible!

No, I haven’t been paid off by the NFL, but my forecast IS for a high of “46″ today. Actually it’s been “46″ for Sunday since at least Friday, according to a quick check of my recent notes. I didn’t notice the football tie-in until some Twitter followers did on Saturday morning. When in Rome, do as the Roman numerals do…

The super weather week began windy and raw, turned nice for a spectacular stretch of four days, and got soggy Saturday. Fog is the only flaw in today’s weather. The world will see clear skies during the NBC outdoor shots tonight. In fact, you could argue the only “negative” weather impact this week was the unseasonably nice conditions, which contributed to claustrophobic crowds Friday night in the Village.

BTW: STILL no significant snow in the seven day forecast. Super deficit!

Highs along the Paul Poteet network today:
43 South Bend
44 Muncie/Marion
45 Anderson/Lafayette
46 Indianapolis
48 Evansville (Drizzle is possible in the southern third of Indiana this morning.)

I found some winter! Snow will mix in with the rain this morning around Muncie to Marion to Kokomo northward. There’s evan a Winter Weather Adivosry for a narrow but intense band of snow along the US 30 corridor from around to Plymouth to Fort Wayne, and northward. Up to 4 inches of snow and sleet could accumulate.

I have a wild Star@Sunrise video to show you this morning. It’s all about Crowd Control.

Mainly rain in the Super Village today, with cloudy, chilly weather. That breeze will be back, gusting up to 20mph. Rain could still be around for this evening’s activities, but it’s outta here for the Super Day. In fact, skies should clear by afternoon, and stay that way for the pictures from the helicopters and the blimp. It may be awhile before Indianapolis comes down to earth, and it will be at least Wednesday before the temperatures come back down to normal.

I was asked several times on Twitter and Facebook Saturday: when will the wind die down? Sorry, but the big breeze is back today. Gusts up to 30 mph will whip your hair back and forth in central Indiana.

It won’t be as sunny today, as yet another clipper moves through the state, but this time it arrives during the daylight hours. A dusting of snow is possible again from Indy northward in the midday and afternoon. Up to an inch could fall in the northeast corner of the state, perhaps as far south as Muncie. Little or no accumulation is likely southwest of Indianapolis. The snow should end by Sunday evening.

Highs across the state will range from around 30 in South Bend to 43 in Evansville, where the sun will shine most of the day.

This will be the last of the chilly days for some time. As warmer air arrives Monday morning it will probably be accompanied by clouds in the morning, but those will thin during the day. Above average temps should last through Saturday, when we play the Weather Wild Card. At this point it looks like low pressure moves right across Indiana that day. The most likely track at this time would yield rain and/or snow. At the very least it might be dreary on The Day Before.

INDY ALMANAC:
Average high today is 36, and the average low is 21. The record high of 66 was set ten years ago today. The record low is -13. Sunrise time is 7:57, and the sunset comes at 5:59.

DETAILED INDIANAPOLIS FORECAST:
Today: Partly to mostly cloudy, with snow showers possible in the midday and afternoon. A dusting is possible from Indy northward. High 36. Breezy again, with a west southwest wind between 15-20 mph, and gusts as high as 30 mph.

Saturday begins with a fast moving clipper system moving through from west to east, spreading a little snow. It’ll feel colder. The Indy high yesterday was officially 42, but today’s temperatures will be lower, and the winds higher. Gusts through the weekend could reach 35 mph, so be ready to zip up your coat before you Zip through Downtown Indy’s Super Bowl Village. Best chance of snow will east of Indy after daybreak, and out of the state by mid-morning.

Expect total accumulations of 1-2 inches from Lafayette through Kokomo and Muncie northward to Michiana. Further south through the interstate 70 corridor, including the Indianapolis metro, snow will total an inch or less. Smaller totals should be the story across southern portions of central Indiana where the snow mixed with rain.

Sun’s on the schedule for the afternoon. Indiana highs will range from 33 in South Bend to 41 in Evansville.

No problems cruising the super sights tonight, and you’ll only fight a few flurries tomorrow on Georgia Street. Still a couple of fronts between now and the Big Game. That means rain chances Tuesday and Thursday. I may have to add in one more final chance of rain and/or snow Saturday. Stay tuned.

It’s weather deja vu all over again. For the second time in a week Indiana faces the prospect of January showers and thunderstorms, and once again they will arrive in the overnight and early morning hours. The Storm Prediction Center has placed the southern half of the state under a slight risk for severe weather. Big winds are probably the biggest threat. The most likely time for the storms will be between midnight and morning drive Monday morning.

Before all that happens, warm air will move in, and Indy high temperatures today will go above freezing for the first time since those aforementioned storms last Tuesday. Highs Sunday across the state will range from 41 in South Bend to 56 in Evansville. The work week will feature above normal high temperatures. The long range 8-14 day outlook points toward temperatures and precipitation being slightly above average in Indiana. And no, I don’t have a Super Bowl forecast yet, other than my guess that it’ll be a little chilly riding that zip line. I’ll leave risky predictions to Rob Lowe.

Several folks on Facebook and Twitter have been commenting on the swings in temperatures lately, but the ride could be a lot bumpier. On January 12, 1916 the Indy temp went from a low of 10 degrees to a high of 68! That’s a ride that rivals the zip line.

INDY ALMANAC:
The average high today is 36 and the average low is 20. The record high is 64, and the record low is -17. Sunrise today is 8:01 and sunset is 5:52. That’s two minutes more of daylight than yesterday.

DETAILED INDIANAPOLIS FORECAST:
Today: Mostly cloudy. High 48. Wind: SE 10-20 mph.

Tonight: Showers likely, with thunderstorms late. Gusty winds. Low 41.

Monday: Early morning showers and storms. Gusty winds. High 41. Temps fall and a few snow showers are possible in the afternoon.

Monday Night: Partly cloudy. Low 27.

Tuesday: Mostly sunny. High 37.

Tuesday Night: Partly cloudy. Low 27.

Wednesday: Partly cloudy. High 42.

Wednesday Night: Mostly cloudy. High 31.

Thursday: Partly sunny. Slight shower chance. High 44.

Thursday Night: Partly cloudy. Low 30.

Friday: Partly sunny. Slight shower chance. High 46.

Friday Night: Partly cloudy. Low 28.

Saturday: Mostly sunny. High 38.

Go ahead, exhale! No more advisories in central Indiana. A cloudy start should give way to sunshine as midday marches on. It’ll still be cold, but temps will barely drop tonight, and we’ll zip back into the 40′s tomorrow. That aforementioned weather break doesn’t last long. Rain and thunderstorms are a distinct possibility Sunday evening into Monday morning, and the Storm Prediction Center already has the southern tip of the state in the area of slight risk for severe storms. The winter whiplash rolls on into Monday, when a cold front joins morning rush hour traffic and drives through the state. A few snow showers are possible midday and afternoon Monday, but the big moisture is gone by the time the smaller temperatures arrive. Overall, a slightly warmer-than-average period starts tomorrow and lasts through next work week.

So.. how much happened last night? My Twitter feed and Facebook Wall turned icy pretty quickly after 8pm Friday. Sleet and freezing rain began just before 8:30 near the Indianapolis Airport. Freezing rain was reported throughout central Indiana. The biggest travel problems I saw seemed to be concentrated around Bloomington and Monroe county. My online reports and Weather Service info indicates that snow and sleet totaled about half an inch to an inch in the Indianapolis Metro.

Snow/sleet totals increase the farther north you are. The powdery snow also drifted a bit. Between one and two inches fell in Muncie, and between two and three inches were reported around Lafayette. South Bend added another 3.5 inches to a snowy week that saw them pull just ahead of the season-to-date snow average. Indy, meanwhile, remains at about 50% of the normal snow number.

INDY ALMANAC:
Average high today is 36, and the average low is 20. Record high is 68, and the record low is -21. Sunrise is at 8:02, and sunset is 5:51.

Nasty winds today, with a major Lake Effect Storm in Michiana. Some places will get a foot of snow. See a map and more info by clicking here. High temps throughout northern and central Indiana will only be in the low to mid 20′s, with single digit wind chills.

Away from the Lake, central Indiana will have flurries and snow showers. Accumulations in central Indiana should be limited to a dusting east of a line from around Kokomo to Anderson to New Castle, although there could be an inch around Marion and Muncie, and amounts will be a little higher north of those locations.

Highs will hit the upper 20′s in Bloomington and the Haute, and around freezing in Evansville.

All snow in the state should diminish by Tuesday afternoon.
