#BOTS fans get ready.

 The NWS is discussing snow chances for us next Tuesday night. Right now only minor accumulations are expected but I'll take it. #BOTS!

.LONG TERM /Tuesday Night through Saturday/...

Issued at 203 PM EST Sat Dec 12 2020

ECMWF shows a moderate short wave pushing through the region on
Tuesday night into Wednesday. An accompanying surface low is
depicted to push across southern Indiana while the 700mb low is
shown to push across the west central and northern parts of
Indiana. Forecast soundings on Tuesday night through Wednesday mid
morning show a saturated column with the entire column below
freezing. Thus given this pattern some minor accumulating snow
will be possible with this passing wave. Although timing and
position could change quite a bit through Tuesday...at this time
it could may for some snow falling during the Wednesday morning
commute. Thus will have to stay tuned on this one and continue to
monitor.

ECMWF then suggests strong and large high pressure building
across the region on Wednesday Night through Saturday in the wake
of the upper short wave. GFS forecast soundings appear to dry out
as a quick flow aloft provides little in the way of upper support.
Thus will keep a dry forecast on Thursday through Saturday Morning
for now.

The ECMWF shows a deepening area low pressure over the plains on
Saturday...placing Indiana in a SW surface flow ahead of this
system. At this time forecast builder has not caught on to this
feature...but given the upper support and the lower level
organization of the system...chances for precip in later
forecasts look like a good bet for next Saturday.
