Strong winds and cold temperatures for the start of the weekend

 

This morning is cold and windy with a few isolated light snow showers. Temperatures are dropping into the teens with feel like temperatures in the single digits. Winds are steadily blowing in the 20-25mph with gusts in the 30s. This will cause concern for blowing and drifting especially on county roads. Leave yourself plenty of extra time, if you are traveling in rural areas. Winds will die down as we move into the late afternoon and evening. Highs this afternoon will struggle to hit the lower 20s. Tomorrow will be another very windy day for us here in Michiana. Gusts tomorrow afternoon will range from 30-40mph. Along with the strong winds, warm air will surge into Michiana helping to warm temperatures into the lower 40s. Early next week will be our next chance for rain showers to move into Michiana. This rain could cause more concern for flooding, especially as it’s mixed with more snow melt. Highs by Tuesday afternoon could top out near the 50s.

Today: Cold/windy. High 20.

Tonight: Partly cloudy. Low 9.

Tomorrow: Windy/warm. High 42.

Monday: Rain showers. High 45.
