I apologize for not having posted in the last two months. I've mainly been posting updates on the FB page for the time being, as I plan on transitioning the blog to a Wordpress site [which is quite a bit more user-friendly than blogger].
Here's what I had posted on Facebook page earlier today:
After a rather messy set-up this morning [I had a lot of trouble just getting to work this morning!], all precipitation has transitioned over to rain with the exception of counties further north. Counties along the Indiana/Michigan/Ohio border COULD continue to see freezing rain for a little while longer before temperatures get warm enough to allow any remaining ice to melt. Even in areas where temperatures have warmed into the mid-30's, roads are still rather icy and dangerous, so exercise caution.
Rain will continue through the evening hours before tapering off overnight. A few showers will persist but nothing substantial until Sunday morning when sleet/freezing rain/snow should redevelop, with a complete transition over to snow for the afternoon, mainly west of I-69. Areas farther east will likely see some snow, but not before it tapers off. Snow accumulations will not be substantial, with the only real chance of accumulation being in the lake-effect zones.
By Sunday night, all precipitation will taper-off, leaving behind breezy conditions and falling temperatures. Temperatures will likely fall into the lower 10's and single digits Monday morning as the Arctic front sweeps into the region. Wind-chills will likely be below zero as well.
Temperatures will remain rather steady on Monday, with a very real possibility that some areas DO NOT make it above 10 degrees for a high. With slightly breezy conditions, bitterly cold wind-chills will be in place.
However, by Monday night, a clipper-system will approach the region rather quickly, bringing periods of light to moderate snow by the very early morning hours. Snowfall should be at its heaviest by the Tuesday morning commute. Based upon current model indications most of the snowfall should end by noon or early afternoon, but could linger a little while longer in areas east of I-69.
At this time, snowfall amounts are uncertain, as there is too much uncertainty regarding the intensity of the system and the amount of moisture involved. If more moisture is involved and the system actually develops a closed surface low, we might see more substantial snowfall. However, this does not appear likely. The National Weather Service has said that they are expecting rough amounts in between 3-6". I will keep you updated on this system!
