one more push of cold air behind the disturbance that brought
this mornings light snow. monday morning lows will sink down
into the single digits mainly east of i-69 and in the upper
single digits to low teens west of there. fairly light
southeasterly winds will help to keep wind chills warmer and
more manageable.
quiet weather is expected over the next several days with ridging
over the central conus that will push eastward into the region
on monday and will start a much warmer (near normal) week
compared to the much below normal temperatures that we have
endured over the last several weeks. highs this week will
primarily stay around the low to mid 30s with tuesday the
warmest day with highs near 40 degrees. of course, as mentioned
in previous discussions the snow pack will keep temperatures
cooler than what would otherwise be realized if we were free of
snow on the ground. a weak system will move eastward north of
our area and will not impact our area with any precipitation
well north of our cwa. we will remain precipitation free and at
least through thursday when there is a possibility of some light
snow showers with a weak disturbance moving into the area.

indiana as a surface high pressure area remained over ontario
province. the airmass remained quite dry and unable to support
lower clouds at this time. little change is expected over the
