Thanks
for driving safely this morning, everybody. Wow... very winter this
morning. We just keep upping the snow total forecast. EVERYTHING came
together for Michiana to see moderate to even heavy snow in those lake
effect snow bands. The highest official report I can find so far is 4.5"
about 2 miles away from Roseland. South Bend likely received about the same.
We'll
see even more snowfall with chances of lake effect snow continuing
through the morning... through the afternoon... and tonight through
about the 1st half of FRIDAY. Before it's all done (and it may not be
done until tomorrow afternoon), we should get some hefty accumulations. Keep it safe on the roads. Roads were not close to ready to handle the snow this morning.
-- The Rest --
It'll take about a day to get past that 'initial shock' that the first real snowfall has passed. We don't have much of a break.
Saturday does look dry... still expecting some sunshine with high pressure sliding to the south.
A
chance of light, system snow still looks on track for Sunday. Models
are trending light snow amounts happening mainly in the morning.
Then
next week... oh, next week. It looks active. We'll be looking for
another opportune set up fo lake effect snow. Timing right now looks to
first happen later MON afternoon. But we have that NW wind flow possibly
lasting well into TUE and perhaps even into WED morning. There's frigid
air coming in with that NW wind. Highs likely fall into the 20s for
Tuesday with morning lows in the teens. Watching for accumulations will
be a main focus.
-- GOOD NEWS --
I
wanted to end on a positive note. Long term models are still trending
warmer and dryer late next week. NEXT Friday may actually get into the
40s!
Stay warm & drive safe,
Joe
