TODAY/TONIGHT
Hold onto your hats and tie down loose objects, it is going to be a breezy day today. Wind Advisories has been hoisted that will continue until around sunset this evening. Gusts can be as high as 45 mph today. A cold front will be sweeping past the state so there is a good chance we have already seen our high for the day which was around 39°. Temperatures are likely to fall below freezing and into the 20s this afternoon and evening. As will the wind chill temps. They are in the 20s this morning but will fall in the teens this afternoon and evening. Then further slip into the single digits for tomorrow morning. Conditions are expected to remain cloudy.

TOMORROW
The snowmaker that is traversing pass the Tennessee and Ohio Valley regions appears it will track further South of Central Indiana missing Indianapolis. So, I dropped the snow chance from the forecast now but the clouds are still likely to remain overhead. In wake of the frontal passage and no aid from sunshine, temperatures won't budge much. The afternoon high may only be 5° or so from the morning low. Winds will be slightly calmer but still may gusts to 20 mph at times. Wind Chill temps will like be in the single digits and teens throughout the day.

FRIDAY
Clouds be decreasing Thursday night which should allow for a brighter day. The core of the arctic air will still remain in place for the day bringing our coldest temperature readings of the season. Lows will be in the single digits with wind chills below zero. Afternoon highs will barely crack 20 with wind chills in the single digits or lower teens.
