I had written earlier today that the (slightly) larger snow amounts should remain west of Indy, and there is now officially a Winter Weather Advisory for Indianapolis and points west and southwest. The details are below.
Snow Tuesday may be mixed with rain at first. And there is finally an above-average stretch in the forecast starting Thursday. Meanwhile, for the rest of Saturday: bitterly cold air. Click the map for a larger version of 5pm chills.
