Spring Is Not Here Yet As We Have Another Blast Of Winter Air About To Arrive!

Well, we have had a lot of rain move through the area but the good news is it has pushed off to the east and we are finished with it for a while! First lets go ahead and take a loot at some rainfall reports I have recorded below from around the area.

Final Rainfall Totals.

Kentland, .73" Inches.

JIWB, Lafayette, .60" Inches.

Otterbein, .52" Inches.

Remington, .52" Inches.

Attica, .51" Inches.

Logansport, .49" Inches.
You can see the system pushing off to our east in this satellite radar image above. So for the rest of today we can still expect to see lots of cloudy skies over the viewing area. With light winds between 3 and 5 mph. Everything is still very soggy so I would keep the covers of the sofa if you have dogs lol. It is becoming that time of year when everything stay wet of weeks! Yes, the change from Winter to Spring is almost here. The first day of Spring is March 20th. Not far at all. However I don't see spring coming before we see yet another cold BLAST of winter air! Take a look at this map below.This is a look at how things are expected to play out come Wednesday. We will watch the cold air continue to build to our north between now and Tuesday. Then start to move into our area by Tuesday night with temperatures falling into the low 20s. Then highs on Wednesday will only be around 24 degrees with lows falling back into the teens around 14 degrees! Yes, Winter doesn't want to give up just yet! The past few days have only been a teaser with highs hitting in the 40s! This is about the time of year that many people start getting cabin fever. Just hang in there! ;)

Quick Cast...................................

Tuesday we will keep in around a 25% chance of a few light hit and miss scattered snow flurries to showers around the viewing area. Nothing will accumulate to much if anything. Highs will be in the lower 30s around 34 degrees as the cold blast starts to make a move on us by that night. Lows will fall into the low 20s around 24 degrees. Winds will be calm between 3 and 5 mph.

Wednesday we will also keep in a slight 20% to 30% chance of a few light hit and miss scattered show showers through out the viewing area. Snowfall looks to be less then an inch. Highs will be cool in the low 20s as that cold winter air arrives in our area once again making highs around 24 degrees. Lows will drop that night into the lower teens around 14 degrees! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Winds will be rather calm between 10 and 15 mph.

I'm not currently seeing any bigger system to track this week, other then the few scattered snow showers off and on between now and as we head closer to the weekend. So for now just be ready for another taste of winter cold as we count down to the first day of spring!

I'll check back soon.....
