Mid Weekend Weather Update

Good Evening! Not much to update you on on this chilly cloudy Saturday. Had a few flurries flying today. We failed to get out of the 30s today. Our high today is 38°, thats 25° cooler than yesterday. Tomorrow, we do have a clipper system that will drop south but not far enough south to bring snow to Indianapolis, atleast in terms of accumulations. I think most of the frozen precip tomorrow will simply be flurries, pesky flurries. We should fail to hit 40s on Sunday & Monday. We got a warm up coming for Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday. We'll end the the week with Thursday & Friday Rain. A little disagreement with next weekends temps. One model going warm, one cold. I'm leaning more towards a cooler than avg weekend. Avg Temps are in upper 40s. Im shooting for low to mid 40s. Should be a dry weekend then more rain chances by Mid Month with Warm Temps.

Also most recent fatality report raises death toll to nearly 40 people spread amongst 4 states which includes Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and Alabama. Just a little f.y.i. we avg 87 tornadoes for the entire month of March. 84 tornadoes reported yesterday. We still have a little more than 25 days left of the month. Its believed that the track, Fredricksburgh and Palmyra northeast to Borden continuing on to Henryville and extended to Marysville...ending south of Madison, could possibly be the work of the same tornado. If so, this tracks 40 miles long! According to Weather Channel's Severe Weather Expert, Dr. Greg Forbes, this might be the largest March tornado outbreak on record.
