Sunday/Early Evening

Sorry I haven't posted past few days...been busy with it being the Holiday weekend and all...

Anyways, many of you know that snow is on it's way tonight, but their is some speculation on how much.

Two National Weather Services, which are very close to each other (National Weather Services in Indianapolis, and Louisville) disagree about the amount of snow for South Central Indiana.

NWS IN LOUISVILLE SAYS: A dusting of snow

NWS IN INDIANAPOLIS SAYS: 1-3 inches of snow

There's not many times that I agree with the NWS in Indianapolis, but today I do.

Temperatures are beginning to drop off steadily and are now in the upper 30's, and by 8 or so it should be cold enough for all snow...

Their are two things I see here...

1. The low is really beginning to wrap itself up and in fact it is strengthening as it moves northward.

2. Two pieces of energy, one in Northern Illinois and the other in N/E Missouri and Southern Illinois are beginning to phase. This doesn't mean that two storms are phasing, but two areas of precipitation are beginning to phase together for a broader area of precipitation.

So how much snow?

ANYWHERE NORTH OF INDIANAPOLIS: 2-3 inches with localized areas of 4 inches if any lake effect snow bands can form

INDIANAPOLIS and SOUTH TO SEYMOUR: 1-3 inches, the 3 more near Indy, 1-2 more south from their.

SOUTH OF JACKSON, JENNINGS, LAWERENCE: Up to 1 inch of snow

The National Weather Service in Indianapolis has consulted issuing a WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY, and may do so in the evening package. IF and WHEN they do so, I will post the counties that are in the advisory areas and the amounts that are expected! STAY TUNED!
