Snow remains falling across central Illinois, south-central Indiana, and central Kentucky. Heavy snow falling in some locations as well. However, heavy sleet is moving northward across the Ohio River (in gold-yellow), while freezing rain also moves in from the southwest (in red). A mix of freezing rain and sleet will be the dominant precipitation type for this afternoon and evening, before transitioning to all snow later tonight into Monday.

Heavy, wet snow around 1 inch per hour in Franklin, IN just south of Indianapolis

05/01/2025

Observation to watch for late this evening and overnight around and potentially even more southward. This map shows what we call the depth of the dendritic growth zone. Layman interpretation: The area of the atmosphere that produces the snow and how thick it is. You notice the zone essentially disappearing. A mid level area of dry air will move into the region and will not allow the snow to be produced. There will be enough moisture left over to lightly precipitate. With sub freezing temps, it will result in a layer of freezing drizzle before the cold air advection takes over tomorrow and the backside snow commences. Windy conditions and blowing snow will also be likely

Here the latest 700mb and 850mb looks. You can see two areas at 700 that have the purple lines close together. One over Indy and another around Evansville. Both fronts are strengthening and will be the focal points for heavy snow, sleet this afternoon. The 850 front is from W KY to SE MO. Just north of that zone is where the strongest warm advection aloft will keep the best icintg potential. It’s a mess this afternoon into this evening

Regional Day Planner for Sunday, January 5, 2025 - Sponsored by Vinnie's Auto Detail

WINTER STORM WARNING THRU NOON CST MONDAY...
ICE STORM WARNING THRU 6 AM CST MONDAY...
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY THRU 6 PM CST MONDAY...

Good Morning! Your weather today will be wintry and treacherous. Travel is NOT recommended unless it is an emergency, or you are required to be at work. Bowling Green, KY will take the warm spot honors with a high of 41, and Springfield, IL with 23 will be the cold spot. Cloudy skies across the region will also keep temperatures down as well.

The problem areas today will be those with temperatures in that 26 to 31 degree range. This is where you will see the most possibility for freezing rain and ice, which cause their own problems, namely treacherous travel and power outages where ice forms on trees and either brings those down on power lines, or ice forms on the lines themselves and they snap or short out.

Winds will mainly be out of the east 6-12 MPH, but as the surface low fueling this storm approaches, watch for a shift around to the west-southwest.

Stay with us for continuing updates on the winter storm. We'll keep you advised.
