Another day, another cold front. Yesterday’s front brought trace amounts of rain to Muncie and Bloomington, but temps still soared to 50 in some spots.
It will be mild one more time today. Before the front, sunshine. Highs hit the low 40s in Lafayette and Kokomo, and mid 40s in Richmond, Indy, and Terre Haute. It will be in the upper 40s in Bloomington and Columbus.
The most likely time for showers will be 2-4pm in Lafayette, 3-5pm in Indy, and 4-6pm in Muncie and Richmond.
Colder air rushes in tonight, with temps quickly falling under freezing after 8pm. A few snow showers are possible late tonight and Wednesday morning, with little or no accumulation. The sun will get back out by tomorrow afternoon, but highs will be twenty degrees cooler, Wind chills will average 10-15 degrees Wednesday.
Another cold front arrives Thursday bringing more snow shower chances that will last through Friday. An inch or less of snow is likely through the period around Indianapolis, with an inch or two possible from Lafayette over to Muncie and northward. The worst of this batch of cold air settles in Friday night as lows drop to the single digits. The jet stream flattens out and recover begins over the weekend.
