HMM?

Some snow is coming towards our area, and it could be an interesting week!

The snow today was intermittent and didn't bring accumulation, but it did bring a bit of reduced visibility.

tuesday night an alberta clipper will move through the area. Through noon on Wednesday, an inch or so of snow could fall over southern Indiana. There is a possibility of a bit more, but not making a big deal on this one!

Now, on Thursday and Friday, a strong storm will rush through the area. The storm will bring widespread precipitation, but the type is unknown. Here is this from the NWS:

THE BIGGEST QUESTION MARK OF THE FORECAST THEN COMES FOR THE END OF THE WORK WEEK. OVER THE COURSE OF THE DAY ON THURSDAY A WARM FRONT IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP FROM LOW PRESSURE IN THE BIG BEND REGION NORTHEAST TO AROUND WEST VIRGINIA.

WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION WILL BREAK OUT IN ASSOCIATION WITH THIS FEATURE THANKS TO DEEP MOIST FLOWFROM THE GULF OF MEXICO OVERRUNNING THE WARM FRONT.

SOUNDINGS SHOW A WINTRY MIX ACROSS PRETTY MUCH ALL OF CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND SOUTHERN INDIANA...WITH PERHAPS JUST THE FAR SOUTH ESCAPING WITH PLAIN RAIN.

IT IS STILL A LONG WAY OUT...BUT THE LATEST MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE A GOOD CHANCE OF FREEZING RAIN AND ICE THURSDAY/THURSDAY NIGHT...WITH SOME SNOW AND SLEET THROWN IN FOR GOOD MEASURE PRIMARILY OVER THE NORTH.

Way too early to call any amounts, but will keep an eye on it!
