Is there a snow day in our near future?

Oh, I don't know about a full snow day but I feel pretty good about a 2 hour delay for Monday morning. I have been away today without Internet access (bad story about that) so I am catching up quickly. I

t seems there still is not a consensus with the models on where the final storm track will happen. That leaves some uncertainly on the final snow amounts. There also is a large and dreaded dry slot to contend with if it moves up from the southeast area of the state.

I will remain with my 1-3" call for now and leave you with a special weather statement from the NWS in northern Indiana.

...POTENTIAL WINTER STORM SUNDAY AND MONDAY...

INDICATIONS CONTINUE TO POINT TO THE POTENTIAL FOR A WINTER STORM ACROSS THE AREA LATE THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH ACCUMULATING SNOW EXPECTED ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES AND OHIO VALLEY REGION. HOWEVER...THE EXACT TRACK OF THIS DEVELOPING SYSTEM REMAINS UNCERTAIN AND WILL DICTATE THE LOCATION AND AMOUNTS OF POSSIBLE SNOWFALL ACCUMULATION. SINCE IT IS THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND...ANYONE WITH PLANS TO TRAVEL ACROSS THE REGION LATER SUNDAY INTO MONDAY SHOULD MONITOR FUTURE FORECASTS AND BE AWARE OF THIS POTENTIAL SNOWSTORM.THIS STATEMENT IS AN OUTLOOK TO HIGHLIGHT THE POSSIBILITY OF AS IGNIFICANT WINTER STORM. AS INFORMATION AND LOCATION BECOMES MORE CERTAIN...WINTER STORM WATCHES AND WARNINGS MAY BE ISSUED. YOU SHOULD BEGIN THINKING ABOUT PREPARATIONS NOW...WELL BEFORE THE EVENT IS SET TO BEGIN. TAKE TIME TO ORGANIZE A PLAN OF ACTION AND CREATE A PREPAREDNESS KIT WITH SUPPLIES SO YOU ARE NOT CAUGHT OFF GUARD.
