A much calmer week.

This looks like a much calmer week even on social media. The 'socials' are really quiet about any new snow this weekend. I wonder why? The National Weather Service has a small chance of snow this coming weekend from 20-30%. 

This week's high temperatures will be in the low to mid 40's while the low temperatures will be in the upper 20's to the low 30's, so just about seasonal. If anyone wanted to go golfing on Wednesday they should wear a sweater and carry a light jacket since the temperature will be 43 degrees.

All joking aside, I have already said that we will not see any snow until mid December and I think that is about right; ...like the kind of snow that actually sticks to trees and cars and cats and stays on the ground for an hour or more; that kind of snow. The snow we had on Monday was hardly noticeable.

I would say pay most attention to December 15 - 25.

Here is what the NWS says:

.LONG TERM (Friday Night Through Tuesday)...
Issued at 212 PM EST Tue Dec 1 2020

As with the past several days, models continue to have differences
between each other and within themselves on the handling of an upper
low and its associated surface low early in the long term period.
The long term upper flow remains complex with numerous upper lows
moving about.

The farther north models have precipitation into the area while the
farther south ones do not. Operational GFS and ECMWF are pretty dry
for central Indiana, while the ensemble means of those models have
some rain into the area.

The result is a low confidence forecast. Given the high uncertainty,
complexity of the upper flow, and not wanting to flip flop too much,
only went low PoPs Friday night through Saturday evening.

Remainder of the forecast is dry for now.

Temperatures will remain near or a little below average for early
December with no strong pushes of cold air into the area.
