Happy New Year and wow oh wow its a cold start!  This morning's wind chills are ranging between 0 and -10 this morning...Atleast sunshine will greet you at sunrise this morning (8:06am) making for a bright start to the year too.  Flurries later this afternoon could turn to areas of light snow with a dusting in spots by Saturday morning...I mention this because roads could be slick in spots tomorrow morning!   More cold for the weekend with little changing for the first week of 2010...more on FOX59 until 9:00am!

The arctic air is here! We're going to see the coldest temperatures so far this winter season tonight.

Snow showers are possible on and off tonight accross Central Indiana. A covering is possible in spots, with heavier amounts to the north. It will also be COLD!

Stuck in a rut!  Easy to say and exactly what we're in right now!  Snow showers, steady winds and arctic cold temperatures...Winter is here with no budging!  As we move on today and into Wednesday less in the way of snow showers and flurries should be expected but the cold remains...Snow will be gathering by Thursday morning out in our western counties then move east throughout the day.  For now, an early estimate of 3 to 5 inches should be expected for your area creating headaches for both rush hours on Thursday and into Friday morning's rush too.  More in the days ahead on FOX59! 

Yes!  Finally...some decent snow on the way for our area!  Look for a pretty uneventful day for today as clouds will break and temperatures will actually climb for once...

Now for the snow talk!  A winter storm watch will go into effect later tonight and into early tomorrow morning...This will not be a monster storm but could have you white-knuckled from time to time on the roads!

3:00am: light snow falling in our western counties

7:00am: light snow falling in the city

9:00am: slow travel on some area roadways

Midday: snow intensifies (couple inches on the ground)

5:00pm: evening rush hour is messy

9:00pm: snow winding down in spots

Snow totals for Thursday from 3" to 5"

An additional inch possible through Friday morning and early afternoon

Look for more updates throughout the day...timing on snow arrival could change but totals look solid...should be fun!!!  

Snow started around 3:00am this morning in the city and will begin to pick-up with intensity from this point on...heavier snow banding will begin around 10am and could produce an inch to 1/2 inch per hour...this will create problems on many roads, as plows and salt trucks will have a difficult time keeping up!  A solid 3 to 5 inch snow accumulation is still in the forecast for today...some reports of close to six inch totals by Friday morning will be likely too.  Get the latest right now on FOX59, we're on until 10:00am!

Well...you'd think we'd be used to the cold by now considering the last time we saw temps above freezing was December 31st!

After 304 consecutive hours below freezing a January thaw arrived in central Indiana.

The 46 High Thursday was the warmest in three weeks but clouds and a wind shift Friday morning will bring a slight cool down Friday.

The fog will once again greet early morning risers across central Indiana Monday morning.  A Freezing Fog Advisory has been issued.

Little has changed over the past few days:  Areas of fog, low clouds and still yet somewhat mild for January!   Fog will lift at times throughout the day but clouds will not break in central parts of the state.  This will make for another gloomy day with highs around 40-degrees.  Rain showers will return tomorrow as temperatures again holld near 40 under cloudy skies.  By the way, did you know that the 2 cloudiest months of year for Indiana are January and February?  So hang in there...Spring arrives in 61 days!!!

Rain and freezing rain are falling in Illinois and southwestern Indiana as of 5:38am this morning.  With temperatures below freezing, rain freezing on roadways (freezing rain) is possible...a freezing rain advisory is already in effect for our extreme western counties (Indy not included).  We will be monitoring the roads throughout the morning for any ice formation.  It appears the best timing for any ice here (Indianapolis) today would be between 8:00am to 2:00pm.  A warm-up is still in place for the upcoming weekend...Get more on FOX 59 right now!  

Another round of freezing rain overnight is creating a lot of problems on area roadways, mainly north and east of Indianapolis...expect roads to improve as the morning wears on due to salt trucks going out right now and temperatures steadily rising...This afternoon rain will fall and not freeze as highs climb into the middle to upper 30s. 

Level 1 travel warnings and advisories are in effect for Randolph and Wayne counties...travel is very tough out there as of 6:00am this morning...they are advising travelers to use extreme caution in those areas. 

Warm-up still in the forecast for Saturday...get the latest forecast on FOX 59 right now!

Patchy, heavy fog creating several school delays again this morning!  Expect road conditions to improve through the morning and afternoon, as drier air works in...Highs today, not bad, ranging from 40 to 45 degrees in the city!

The weekend forecast will be an active one with warm and windy conditions on Saturday, followed by heavy rain and storms on Sunday morning.  Saturday's high could be the warmest so far of 2010, forecasted at 55-degrees!  Cold front arrives Sunday morning pushing temperatures down and overspreading the area with heavy rain (1 to 2") and gusty thunderstorms.

Colts tail-gating forecast will have us under cloudy skies, breezy conditions, and scattered showers...along with a damp environment, steadily falling temperatures are expected!  Kickoff temperatures should be right around 39-degrees.  Get more on FOX 59 right now! 

We topped out at 55 degrees here in the circle city. Ahead of the cold front that brought us rain, temps spiked into the mid 50's around the entire state.

This weekend's quick blast of spring weather made for pleasant conditions with highs reaching 55-degrees at one point here in the city...And now back to reality as winter's cold rears its ugly head with more cold and snow...

Light snow will move in tonight with about an inch of accumulation should be expected late tonight into early Tuesday morning...not a lot of snow but roads will be slick in spots by Tuesday morning.  And more snow showers should be expected off and on for Tuesday afternoon.  Along with the snow, more cold air pouring in...Get your updated 7-Day forecast right now on FOX 59 morning news!   

The temperature down turn is under way with gusty snow showers blowing across the area Monday night. 

A sunny start this morning but a cold start too...Enjoy the early sunshine as clouds gather this afternoon and into the overnight.  Light snow is expected in the overnight with an inch or less of accumulation.  Most of the accumulating snow will fall south of I-70 and should be ending by 10:00am Thursday morning.  Not a huge deal but some roads will be slick to icy and accidents will ensue...

A southern storm is still being monitored with heavy snow possible from Arkansas to Washington D.C. on Friday and into Saturday!  Watches and warnings are up and this storm is just now forming...traveling south and southeast for the weekend could bring long delays!   

We saw areas that picked up near a half inch of snow overnight. It was just enough to ice over the road ways and cause slick conditions.

THE COLDEST AIR IN OVER TWO WEEKS ARRIVED EARLY THURSDAY MORNING.  THE COLD FRONT WILL SETTLE SOUTH AND PREVENT A MAJOR WINTER STORM THIS WEEKEND.

JANUARY WILL CLOSE ON A COLD NOTE WHILE A DANGEROUS WINTER STORM CRIPPLES PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN U.S.

After several days with little to no sunshine, we can finally expect to see some today.
