Blizzard-Like Conditions?
Just a quick note, have been following temperatures really closely, and it has became apparent that as the precipitation has started to fall across Central and Western Indiana, evaporational cooling has set in. In fact since 6:00 PM, Indianapolis has went from 36 degrees to 33 degrees.
Many locations across Central Indiana reporting a wintry mix already and the latest short-term model, the RUC (Rapid Update Cycle) is forecasting 3-4 inches of snow by 5:00 AM in the Lafayette and Kokomo areas with 1-2 inches already on the ground from Muncie to Richmond over to Greenville. That is definitely ahead of schedule.
The low pressure system is currently located near the Northern Arkansas/Tenn border, which definitely verifies my thoughts that this storm would take a more Southern track. I look for the storm to eject back Northeast into Northeastern Kentucky by tomorrow and that means an increase in snow and winds across Indiana and Ohio.
I would not be surprised if widespread blizzard-like conditions develop by late tomorrow morning through the evening. Will this be a full-blown blizzard? I am not sure yet, but I'm working on it and will be providing a full analysis later tonight.
