Synopsis: Good Tuesday morning! It is rather foggy across the area, with localized spots of dense fog. Temperatures are at or below freezing over the northern half of the area, so this area will have the potential for black ice this morning. Plenty of low clouds and patches of drizzle look to stick around today with very little rise in temperatures. A warm front will move into the area tonight, bringing widespread drizzle. Temperatures will need to be watched over the northern parts of the Seymour district, as a brief window of freezing drizzle is possible from Bloomington-Columbus-Greensburg and points north. It will be a short window 9pm-1am, then we warm well above freezing by Wednesday morning. No freezing drizzle concern for the Vincennes district. We see a big warm-up Wednesday and Thursday, then temperatures fall sharply on Friday as all eyes are on a potential major winter storm to impact the region. Latest information in the video:

Visibility forecast through the day….fog hangs around this morning, then lifts some this afternoon although clouds will linger:
Drizzle builds in after 7pm tonight, with window of freezing drizzle north as discussed above:
Temperatures will become very mild Wednesday and Thursday before a cold front moves in on Friday with falling temperatures. Precipitation will continue to fall during this transition, a stronger storm system lifting northeast into the region Friday into Saturday. As colder air works in Friday, this will lead to the potential of freezing rain before colder air works in and switches things to snow Friday night. There is increasing confidence of a swath of significant snowfall within the Ohio Valley, the question becomes the placement. The stronger the storm, the further northwest it will tend to track. If it is a bit weaker, it will track further southeast. Stay close to the forecast over the next few days!!
