A couple inches of snow and single digits are all on the table over the next few days in central Indiana. Hopefully we can clear this crap from the table by the time we’re setting it for Thanksgiving.
Another chilly start to Saturday. Here are the official lows:
10 South Bend
14 Lafayette
15 Bloomington, Shelbyville
16 Muncie, Terre Haute, Ft. Wayne
17 Indianapolis
21 Evansville
High pressure drifts across and to the east of the state today, and clouds will gradually thicken after a sunny start. Then: the two weekend waves I’ve been promising. Light snow should cross the Illinois/Indiana border just after sunset and move east/northeast. You wake up to a minor coating Sunday. A dusting to an inch is expected, with the highest amounts north of I-70.
Most of Sunday will be mostly cloudy with a few flurries. The second wave is a bigger deal. Another Polar jet is moving in and it will smash into the subtropical jet in the Deep South. That should spin up a surface area of low pressure over the South. Central Indiana will be on the northern edge of the resulting precipitation Sunday night and Monday morning.
Snow should begin Sunday evening and most of it will be gone by sunrise Monday. An inch or two is possible for much of central Indiana. Amounts could be a little higher in places like Bloomington, Columbus, and Richmond. Is it too late to call in sick Monday?
Some places could fall to single digits Tuesday morning. The National Weather Service in Indy notes that if the forecast of 11 in Indianapolis verifies, it will be the coldest November morning since 1986.
