Quiet Now; Rain On Christmas

Good afternoon!  We've seen some light snow so far today, most of which has been falling just north of the Indiana border.  A dusting is pretty much all we have to show for it, thanks to a drying easterly wind.  That wind is breaking apart the snow bands as they navigate across Lake Michigan.  As this pattern maintains itself for the rest of the day and into the evening, a few spots may approach 1" of snow.  Most of us will stay well below that threshold. 

Tomorrow will without question be the best day of the week thanks to some sunshine and dry weather.  Highs will reach the very typical lower 30s, just a degree or two shy of what's normal in late December.  The latest models are now suggesting a largely dry Christmas Eve Day.  It may not be until Christmas Eve itself when freezing rain begins.  Because of a later start and a clearly limited supply of cold air, rain will be the dominant precipitation type on the front end of this storm.  Bear in mind, this is only if the track of the storm doesn't waver from what we see right now.  There are often many changes in the few days prior to onset.  So, keep it right here at wwmt.com.

Lake effect snows are still in the cards Christmas night and weekend.  A few to perhaps several inches of snow are possible.  We will know more about exact amounts once we get closer.  Have a great afternoon!
