bitter cold temps with high winds here in northern Indiana. As someone that loves the cold and snow I'm ecstatic!
.A SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM WILL LIKELY IMPACT THE REGION
BEGINNING AS EARLY AS SATURDAY EVENING AND PERSISTING THROUGH AT
LEAST SUNDAY EVENING.
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT WITH LIGHT
SNOW SPREADING FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST. AT THIS TIME...LIGHT
ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED WITH THIS FRONT. GREATER CONCERN LIES
WITH LOW PRESSURE THAT WILL DEVELOP AND RAPIDLY DEEPEN AS IT
TRACKS FROM ARKANSAS SUNDAY MORNING TO OHIO SUNDAY NIGHT.
SNOWFALL AMOUNTS OF 6 TO POSSIBLY AS MUCH AS 12 INCHES IS POSSIBLE
BY SUNDAY NIGHT ACROSS THE WATCH AREA. IN ADDITION...GUSTY WINDS
ARE EXPECTED STARTING SUNDAY...CAUSING BLOWING AND DRIFTING
SNOW AND THE POTENTIAL FOR NEAR ZERO VISIBILITY AT TIMES.
AS WINDS INCREASE AND COLDER AIR ARRIVES...WIND CHILLS WILL
QUICKLY DROP BELOW ZERO LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON INTO SUNDAY NIGHT
WITH VALUES OF 10 TO 20 BELOW ZERO DURING THE WATCH PERIOD. VALUES
IN THE 30 TO 45 BELOW ZERO RANGE WILL BE POSSIBLE MONDAY THROUGH
TUESDAY.
THOSE PLANNING TRAVEL THIS WEEKEND SHOULD MONITOR LATER FORECASTS
AND BE PREPARED TO ADJUST PLANS ACCORDINGLY.
