Evening Update
Temperatures are looking colder and colder across the area, and much colder than earlier forecast models predicted. Temperatures are already down to 35 in Muncie, 34 in Lafayette and 36 in Indianapolis. Here at IndianaWeatherOnline.com we are down to 35.6 degrees and the temperatures have fallen over 6 degrees in the last 3 hours!
I still fully expect a major ice storm across the Northern half of the state of Indiana and still expect the heaviest ice to fall from Noblesville to Muncie to Greenville, Ohio. As much as an inch of ice may accumulate, and that may be on the conservative side!
Farther South along Interstate 70 and areas such as Indianapolis and Richmond, the colder air is moving farther South much quicker, and I definitely expect freezing rain to develop by tomorrow morning in your areas. Between a quarter and a half inch of ice is expected.
The far Northern parts of the state will see a sleet and snow mix and could see 3-6 inches of a combined sleet/snow accumulation.
Flooding will continue with plenty more precipitation on the way! Flooding could be extreme across parts of the Central and Southern aprt of the state.
Precipitation will change to all snow by Tuesday Afternoon for areas along and North of Interstate 70 and in fact, our latest forecast models are indicating the potential for several more inches by Tuesday Evening!
Stay tuned and definitely stay safe!
