Evansville Weather Update: 2-6-2014

Welcome back to the blog! My last post was over a year ago back in December 2012, so it has been awhile. Hope to be updating more often.

Well to start, today was pretty cold. The PM high today at Evansville Regional was 16°, with even colder temperatures (in the lower teens) in the northwestern portions. Tonight, we'll drop well down into the single digits, around 3° in the metro. Northern areas will drop to near or below zero. Tomorrow, the high will settle right over us. So, that will mean at least some sun (especially early) and light winds. High temperatures will top out in the upper teens to near 20°. As we head into Friday night however, clouds will increase as an upper level disturbance will move up from the southwest with a chance for a little light snow Saturday AM. Areawide there will be a chance for some snow; highest chance for any accumulation will though be in W KY where models are spitting out QPF number in the 0.05" range. So, areas down that way could pick up <1". Temperatures on Saturday will be warmer, but still cold. Expect highs to top out near 32°. Saturday night into Sunday there will be another chance of snow with a weak surface low riding through Central IL into Indiana. The highest chance for any snowfall will be north of US 50. Only going with a 20%-30% chance in the forecast for the area. Speaking of Saturday night, temperatures will drop into the lower 20s for Church Sunday AM. The day Sunday looks relatively dry; with a slight chance of snow early. Temps will rise to near 30° on Sunday, with mostly cloudy skies.
