Late Evening Update

There hasn't been much change from any of the NWS forecast offices around the region since the middle of the afternoon. The last few runs of the forecast models have most of the snow band to our west and recently the frozen precipitation looks to be mainly south.

While south, it is just a couple of counties. The band is from Terre Haute to Carmel to Munice. We seen a modest amount of rain with a little over an inch. Modest is relative to this system. A small amount if sleet or ice is also likely but it doesn't look to be significant or devastating for us right now.

There is still a lit of uncertianty with the system and small changes of just a few miles could have significant changes in the forecast. This storm system will be more nowcast than forecast. The NWS office in Chicago said it this way...

ANYONE NOT FREQUENTLY MONITORING LATER FORECASTS MAY BE CAUGHT OFF GUARD.

I am attaching the precipitation map for the next 60 hours and the frozen rain and sleet maps too.
