Saturday/Early Evening

WEATHER CODE: YELLOW ***SLICK SPOTS HAVE CAUSED CRASHES ON MANY KENTUCKIANA ROADS...MORE SLICK SPOTS TO DEVELOP TONIGHT!
Folks, please be careful out their tonight...several slick spots will develop due to wet roads and cold temperatures. TAKE YOUR TIME AND USE YOUR WINTER DRIVING SKILLS!
Storm for Tuesday will be mainly rain, but may begin as a mix of freezing rain, sleet, and snow across Southern Indiana before transitioning to all rain. Sorry if I seemed to hype this storm the last several days, I did not do so intentionally. I really did believe it would be our first winter storm of the year, but the models just keep shifting the storm further north and west. I really am beginning to learn as a weather forecaster, not to get to excited about one model run. Earlier in the week, one of the models had quite the snowstorm for the Ohio Valley, and I jumped right on the bandwagon. Models, especially this time of year DO NOT come to a solution until a few days before the actual storm approaches. Models, will likely change a bit with the Tuesday system, but probably not enough to change our precipitation type. It's mainly rain for Tuesday/Wednesday...so we'll just have to wait for the next potential winter storm. Have a great night and be safe!

the models have been trash 7 days out...i am as frustrated as you are; we get all this cold air in here and it gets mild ahead of these big systems coming in. we get ripped off 86% of the time around here.. we need perfect synoptic features to get a bigg'un in here. we will get one it just sucks waiting..i tend to look over these minor events because i am lobbying for a crippler..lol..

Hey guys, don't know much about weather, but by the way you guys are talking, i'm guessing the conditions for the 2004 30" was the perfect combo? Your thoughts...
