Snow Showers Move In Tonight Through Saturday Morning...


You can see in this satellite image above that we are expecting to see bands of snow from this area of low pressure try and move into the area later on tonight and then into Saturday. This is such a big area of low pressure that we could pick up a little accumulation as well. However not much!

There are a few winter weather advisories in effect to our east for areas pretty much from I69 West. This is where they will see slightly higher amounts from this system. Now because the bands of snow are coming from our north east this means that this system will act like an Alberta clipper. And by that I mean we will have no moisture to work with from the golf. Which is usually when we see bigger snow in our area. So just how much are we talking about? Let's check it out below.
As you can see I went ahead and put most of us in that Trace To 2" inch range. This is because most models are agreeing that there won't be much moisture. Also the MOS models are showing a QPF of 0 to 1. Which means most of us will pick up between a Trace and an inch possible. However a few local areas could see closer to and inch with blowing snow to 1.5" inches in spots. However the higher amounts such as 1" to 2" inches will be around I69 and then West of there. So really nothing big to talk about this time around here in Indiana or the WLFI viewing area. Just snow showers moving in tonight into tomorrow. And winds between 10 and 20 mph gusting near 25 mph possible.

So stay warm and stay safe! Even this little bit of snow can and does make things slick to start!

I'll check back soon.....

Stay Safe!
