(12-13-10) Wintry Mix Possible on Wednesday

With one storm system now behind us, another lies in wait. Huntingburg received about an inch and a half of light, fluffy snow on Sunday. With winds howling in the 20s mph range, road conditions were quite hazardous Sunday evening and into Monday morning. Those winds should be dying down later today as bitter cold temperatures are on the way. The low cloud base will recede later today as we move to an overnight low of 5 degrees!

As this system races off to the east, we now turn our attention to the next round of wintry precipitation heading our way on Wednesday. A new low is trying to form over the Rocky Mountains and is forecast to move to our south Wednesday night and into the day on Thursday. As the high pressure that is in charge of us right now pushes eastward, expect slightly warmer temperatures to move into the area, pushing us near the freezing mark. Warm air from the south will also infiltrate the upper layers of the atmosphere, which means that precipitation could come in the form of sleet or even freezing rain. Expect hazardous road conditions again on Wednesday and Thursday if this scenario pans out.

I'll have more on what to expect later today or tomorrow as more model runs come out. Right now it looks to be a mess. We'll see if the next runs continue this trend. Saturday also looks to be in question. I'm going with a 30% chance of snow at this point. Hopefully the next models will take this away!

For right now, here's your updated 7 day outlook.
