More snow is in the forecast.

Snowfall amounts of 5″ to 8″ are possible across Central Indiana.

Here are a couple of meteorological variables to watch over the next 24 hours:

Moisture:  Right now, computer models show 0.50″ to 0.75″ of moisture available for snow. That’s how I get the snowfall amount forecast above. There is generally a 10:1 ratio (depending on temps)  between rain and snow. So, .50″ of rain would be 5″ of snow. Watch for drier air to move into Central Indiana during the early afternoon. That will diminish the snowfall intensity. Snowfall should not end however. Light snow will rotate through the state Tuesday night into Wednesday.

Wind: Winds gusting over 30 mph are likely by Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. Wind, whipped snow will reduce visibilities and cause drifting through Wednesday afternoon. This snow will be much drier than last week’s heavy wet snow. As a result, this will be easy for the wind to pick up and move around.

Here’s another thing to watch:  RTV6!!!!
