Noon Update

The NWS in Indianapolis is taking their time on a tricky forecast hoping to get it right. They have alluded to an upgrade to a Winter Storm Warning for the entire coverage area sometime this afternoon.

This will be a long duration event with snow from midnight tonight tapering off midday Wednesday. At that time gusty winds should continue into Thursday morning causing significant blowing and drifting.

Snow amounts from 5 to 9 inches around the area. We could have more should a deformation band set up over our area. If I had to pick a single number for the snow amount, I would go with 7 inches.
