Snow showers are flying this morning around central Indiana!  It shouldn't amount to too much but even minor accumulations could slicken roads for the morning rush.  Some spots are seeing heavier snow bursts mainly north and east of the city as of 5:15am this morning.  Snow showers should eventually change-over to light, spotty rain showers this afternoon.  Clouds will loom today with highs in the upper 30s. 

Our furry friend Punxsutawney Phil will be yanked out of its warm home around 7:25am this morning to give his official forecast.  Right now its cloudy in Pennsylvania which is good...if Phil does not see his shadow that means an earlier spring!

A couple of quiet days are expected for today and Thursday...A little sun for both days and mainly dry conditions too.  Highs for the next two days will be seasonal with ranges from 36 to 40 degrees...

Jumping ahead to Friday and the potential for a more significant snowfall here in the Ohio Valley...early weather models are showing plenty of moisture for the Indy...question is how cold will it be when the precipitation arrives in the city.  If its all snow totals could exceed more than 6 inches...if its a rain/snow mix totals will be less.  More to come in the days ahead!

Another quiet day shaping up with mostly cloudy skies and dry conditions throughout the entire afternoon and evening!   The large winter storm is now underway and growing!  Should begin to make its track toward the circle city by 2:00am Friday morning, hence activating the Winter Storm Watch.

The combination of snow, sleet and rain could make for some slippery travel for the early rush hour.  It appears that as the day wears on snow will fall steadily and heavily at times.  Snow will begin to pile-up and roads will be quite messy by Friday night AND Saturday morning!  How much snow?  It appears that a solid 4 to 7 inches of snow should fall in central Indiana by Saturday morning.  Some areas may actually squeeze out 8 inches.  This will be an all day and all night event so the worst of the conditions will be on Saturday, as the totals will be at their highest then...

We saw some much needed sunshine today as a winter storm plowed thru much of the state yesterday.

We saw a quiet day weather wise across Central Indiana today but big changes are in store for the work week as a potent winter storm has its sights set on Central Indiana.

A quiet, mostly cloudy day for your Monday with highs in the upper 20s...Cold weather continues and some roads are still pretty rough...Your evening rush hour for today should be just fine too...

Snow moves in tonight after midnight and picks up with intensity by Tuesday's morning rush hour!  We could have a couple of inches on the ground by 9:00am.  This will make for some tough travel and more than likely result in school delays and closings.  Steady snow will continue through Tuesday afternoon with amounts around 3 to 6 inches on the ground by Tuesday night!  More light snow, snow showers, and lake-effect snows will continue for Wednesday.  This could result in additional accumulations of 1 to 3 inches.  This should put complete totals from 5 to 9 inches by Wednesday night in central Indiana!  Along with the snow, more wind will create blowing and drifting of snow through Wednesday night...Look for more updates on possible snow totals throughout the day!

Snow taking a break in parts of the area...so far 2 to 5 inches in central Indiana!   Expect an additional 1 to maybe 2 inches with higher totals south and east of the city...this should put our totals around 3 to 6 inches for today...could see an additional 1 to 3 inches tonight with extremely gusty winds...

We're breathing a sigh of relief as the snow, wind, and clouds take a break for today!  Clouds this morning should begin to break bringing a return to some sunshine throughout the afternoon.  Winds that gusted at 40mph in the city yesterday will be a distant memory today, winds are relaxing through Friday. In fact, quiet conditions are expected across the better part of the U.S., as the stormy, snowy pattern calms for a couple of days!  The exception will be the deep south as snow is likely for Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabma through Saturday morning with accumulations of 2 to 5 inches...

Our next chance of snow will come Sunday (Valentine's Day) and on through Monday...For now it appears snow should be light in accumulations but it could create some slick roads for Monday morning's rush...Look for more updates in the coming days!

A CLEAR SKY AND FRESH SNOW ALWAYS ADD UP TO A COLD NIGHT BUT CLOUDS COULD KEEP TEMPS FROM TANKING.  FLORIDA SNOW POSSIBLE

First off...bitterly cold this morning with temperatures holding in the lower single-digits (wind chills are sub-zero)...On top of the arctic air is a thin layer of fog forming...fog is thick enough to create some black ice outside of I-465 through sunrise.  This will only be patchy in spots, not a major issue for everyone!

Look for some sunshine early today with clouds increasing throughout afternoon...Clouds tonight could bring light snow in spots and scattered flurries.  Snow should be light with only a dusting possible.  More snow chances coming for Sunday morning through Monday night.  It appears the first part of this storm on Sunday will mostly miss Indy and push through the southern part of the state.  Better chances of snow showers will arrive on Monday along brisk northwest winds!  We'll update through the weekend!

Round three is on its way. Winter Storm Watches have already been posted for our Southern counties.

Snow is falling...advisories and warnings are in effect!  As of 5:00am...2 inches of snow in city has fallen with nearly 3 inches already in Bloomington...More snow is expected through the day with totals ranging in the downtown area from 2 to 6 inches by 7:00pm tonight...

Here's the breakdown:

1 to 3 inches northwest of the city 

2 to 6 inches in the downtown Indy and northeast of the city

5 to 10 inches east, south, and southeast of the city

Snow will taper down tonight with only minor accumulations...Winds will increase tonight into Tuesday...Blowing and drifting will be a problem in open, unprotected areas through tomorrow tonight.  Get updated information on FOX 59...we're on until 10:00am!

A quiet weather pattern shaping up for the next few days...time to breath and enjoy some sun with snowmelt!  Winds not as gusty today as a return to sunshine is expected.  Look for highs today near 30-degrees (average high: 40).  More sun and dry weather for Thursday and Friday too.  Snowmelt will ensue and roads will continue to improve! 

This weekend some light snow is possible on Saturday...too early to be overly concerned but something to check in with by tomorrow for any changes.  A better chance of snow and heavier totals coming on Monday...Look for updates! 

A QUIET STRETCH OF WEATHER WILL FINISH OFF THE WORK WEEK BUT SNOW MAY MAKE ITS RETURN THIS WEEKEND - BIGGER STORM POTENTIAL MONDAY

Cloudy skies this morning will do two things for us today:  1)  insulate temperatures this morning, allowing for a milder start  2) move out and make way for a very nice, brighter afternoon!  It's a win, win!  Overall, a pretty good looking next two days here in the city!  the only "fly in the ointment" could be some freezing fog late tonight and into Friday morning...

Snow is expected for Saturday!  This should not be a huge deal with moisture lacking...as of now, around an 1" to 1.5" expected!  We do have a better chance of snow by Sunday night...More on that in the coming days!

Patchy dense fog will greet some of you out the door this morning...especially outside of 465!  Expect to see the fog lift quickly after sunrise (7:32am).  This will give way to a good dose of sunshine and milder temperatures...overall this day looks great by mid-February standards, with highs in the upper 30s!

Light snow and snow showers are expected for Saturday with little to no accumulation. This should not a be a big deal and roads should be fine with an occasional slick spot and moisture lacking.  As the second storm deepens on Sunday, we could be dealing with rain and snow mix from Sunday through Tuesday morning.  This is a developing storm that has the potential to dump heavy snows in parts of the state.  It appears that conditions will be going down hill by Monday morning through Tuesday morning...Look for updates throughout the weekend!

The sunshine we saw yesterday is long gone and today most of us woke up to cloudy skies and a covering of snow. Now our attention turns to a much bigger storm.

FOGGY CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE AS COOLER AIR ARRIVES.  LATE SEASON ARCTIC AIR IS ON THE MOVE ALONG WITH ACCUMULATING SNOW.

Steady, light snow has been falling since 4:30am here in the city...this snow burst will put down a quick 1/4 to 1/2 inch of accumulation while creating some problems for this morning's rush!  Expect more light snow and snow showers throughout the entire day as winds increase and temperatures fall...This combination plus the snow will make for more problems during this evening's rush and on through Thursday morning.  Snowfall totals will range from 1 to 2 inches total in the city by Thursday morning...Not alot but just enough!  Get more now on FOX 59, we're on until 10:00am!

CLOUDS ARE INCREASING FRIDAY AFTERNOON WITH SNOW NOT FAR BEHIND.  A EASTERN STORM IS BACKING UP JUST IN TIME FOR THE WEEKEND.
