Strange forecast for this evening.

A small bubble of snow is forecast for central Indiana.


Pictures of Sunday 1/29/17


Salt crews were out before sunset and over-doing it some spots.










The roads were not bad at all. This mostly amounted to a dusting or coating.

GFS weather model stands for Got it, Forgot it System.

Several previous runs of the GFS had a major snow storm over the Ohio Valley for 2/6 to 2/9, 2017 and then this morning it disappeared. This is EXACTLY why you do not trust models this far out.


We'll set hit and miss snow showers on Sunday. It shouldn't be much to worry about though. Temps are seasonal for the next few days with lows in the mid 20's and highs in the mid 30's.

There was a brief period of freezing rain and sleet in Bloomington.

This was on Thursday, 1/26/17 between 4p and 6p.



Wx news and new weather websites.

In case you didn't know NOAA has a new weather satellite called GOES-R, or, also known as the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-R. You can read about that on the NOAA website.

Climate Re-analyzer. I like this one.



Wednesday's high is 54 and the we temps back down into the mid 30's

Winter makes another comeback later this week. From the NWS:

.LONG TERM /Friday through Monday night/...
Issued at 252 AM EST Tue Jan 24 2017

Central Indiana will see a few upper waves drop southeast across the
area in mean western ridge and northeastern trough pattern. This
will result in slightly below seasonable weather with snow showers
or flurries from time to time. That said, moisture will be lacking
somewhat, so will not go any higher than the regional blend small
chance pops over all or parts of the forecast area Friday and Sunday
and Sunday night.

Upper ridge should allow for dry and seasonable weather next Monday.

Warmth continues until Wednesday 1/25/17

The high temperature on Wednesday 1/25 will be 51 degrees.Winter will try to make a comeback on Thursday 1/26. High temperatures on Thursday and onward will be in the mid thirties. I don't see any big snow storms on the horizon for the next seven days. February could be very interesting. Stay tuned.

10 days of warmth from here on out.

Enjoy it while you can. It's going to we warm for the next ten days. The cold air will return on January 26th.
