If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Not much change in the outlook tonight; the Weather Service has upgraded to a Warning starting at 7.   Here are the same notes I sent out to the radio network this morning:*WINTER STORM WARNING STARTING @7 TONIGHT THROUGH […]

Low pressure looms for your Tuesday morning drive time.  Snow could start late night Monday, and probably won’t end until late afternoon Tuesday.  The heaviest snow will fall from around 3am to Noon.  We could see 2-5 inches across central Indiana.  Updates on tv and radio Monday morning.  Anyone can buy bread when there’s a […]

(Bad News Sunday.)  Doesn’t look like the cold front will get into central Indiana until this evening.  Today looks pretty decent, by Feb. standards.  Nasty winds and some light snow will be around late tonight and Sunday, and the chills will be around or below zero through the day tomorrow.  Another day made for close […]

Kinda mild Friday and Saturday until a pesky Polar push nudges in late Saturday afternoon, bringing a quick hit of snow, and a deep drop in temps.  MY FORECAST:INDY METRO/WZPL, WXNTTODAY:  MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH A FEW MORNING FLURRIES.  HIGH 46. TONIGHT:  EVENING RAIN SHOWERS AND OVERNIGHT RAIN AND/OR SNOW SHOWERS.  LOW 32.TOMORROW:  MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH A […]

BTW, the Weather Service says an F1 tornado did strike the southern Indiana town of Bloomfield Tuesday night.  The indychannel’s report is here, and the Service’s update is here, complete with some pics of the damage.

Catch your breath today, and find a coat—temperatures are down, but at least we’ve left behind the worst of warnings and the biggest rainmakers.  It was a miserable, rainy, stormy Tuesday night.  Weather Service meteorologists are out today surveying the damage, and posting the details.

Watch this space, and RTV6, and keep an ear to my radio stations for updates on what will probably be a looooong late afternoon and evening of sometimes heavy rain and sometimes severe weather.  The biggest threat looks to be from around 6 to midnight tonight.  Reminder:  the latest warnings are here.

Go here for closings and delays.  Weather service short term updates are here.  Storm reports are here.   Here’s what the Weather Service is thinking:

UPDATE @ 1AM FRIDAY:  The Weather Service updated this map since I originally typed the following…so actually, we don’t really disagree much now at all.  What a beautiful world!
I agree that heavier […]

UPDATE @5PM: You can toss a few more inches on the totals from the earlier map below. Looks like 4-8 inches in the Indy metro area, and as much as 6-10 inches in a strip from around Ft. Wayne through Kokomo through Crawfordsville and Terre Haute.
The warning starts tonight at 7.  The map […]

Couple of days in between systems.  Last night’s low is off to the Great Lakes, and our potential heavy snow maker for Thursday night into Friday is still coming together to the southwest.  The biggest deal today will be the small wind chill numbers.  Nothing much over zero expected. It stays pretty quiet until […]

Storms this afternoon could cause damaging winds around central Indiana.  Keep up with today’s warnings here.Just looked at the latest “Truecast” data, which still has the cold front still moving through the state from around 7 to 9pm tonight. That’s when the wind gets even gustier, (typing that term was gutsy-is “gustier” even […]

Scattered showers and mild breezes this afternoon and tonight, and then chances increase tomorrow as a cold front creeps closer.  Rain is likely early afternoon tomorrow-maybe even some thunder.  A cold front slices through the mild weather like a Ginsu Knife Gone Wild tomorrow, probably right around the afternoon rush hours.  Temps will tumble, from […]

Nice and bright, and that’s all right.  Warmer breezes Monday, and then it gets almost as busy as B. Spears’ PR people Monday night and Tuesday.  All weather, all the time.

Hum drum.  Hum-drum?  Humdrum?  The spellchecker (spell checker?) is letting all of them through.  But it is kind of “blah.”  And “it is what it is.”  Is that a new cliche, or I am just now noticing it?  I guess it depends on what your definition of “it is what it is” is.  Man, is […]

What were you doing 30 years ago today?  If you’re “from around here” you probably still have a memory of dealing with the major snow storm that brought blizzard conditions to Indiana.  I was a ninth grader who didn’t mind seeing the snow days pile up like drifts on a county road.  It seemed like we were […]
