Active Storm Pattern

A very active storm pattern will continue over the next 7-10 days with multiple storm systems affecting the area.

The first storm will begin to impact the Ohio Valley by tomorrow afternoon (Wednesday Afternoon) and most of the precipitation will begin as rain. As a very powerful cold front moves across the region, the rain will quickly turn to snow and much of the area could experience a flash freeze. A flash freeze is when temperatures rapidly drop causing leftover moisture to instantly freeze on surfaces. This could create hazardous conditions tomorrow evening and Thursday morning.

Behind the front light snow will be possible, but accumulations will be light with most areas receiving less than an inch of snowfall. Some areas in far Northwestern Indiana could see slightly higher amounts.

A clipper system will affect the region early next week and could bring another round of winter weather to the Ohio Valley.
