Michiana to dodge significant winter storm
Posted: Dec 5, 2018 12:03 PM EDT
•Texas Panhandle into Central Oklahoma
•Northern Arkansas and Southern Missouri
Areas where a substantial amount of wintry precipitation is expected include:
•Parts of Kentucky
•The mountains and foothills of South Carolina, North Carolina
•Western half of Virginia and southern West Virginia
Some of the higher elevation locations in Northern Carolina and Virginia will likely see a foot or more of snow by Monday afternoon. While all of this is going on, high pressure will be dominating the northern half of the U.S. That includes us right here in Michiana. The result? Dry, quiet and sunny weather from Friday thru next Wednesday. Little to essentially no precipitation is expected for areas from the Rocky Mountains to Maine during that stretch thanks to high pressure. And, we can thank that high for being the reason why the upcoming major system will affect the Southeast and not areas farther north!
