Synopsis: Good Friday morning! Watching a fast-moving clipper system that will push into the Hoosier state this afternoon into tonight. There will be a fine line between snow vs. nothing at all setting up right within our area. Our best idea would be from a Bloomfield to Seymour-Madison line and points northeast as the areas that have snow potential today. Vincennes, Jasper, and Evansville likely see no snowfall. The bulk of the snow will fall from mid-afternoon through mid-evening, diminishing after midnight in our far northern locations. That said, we could see some additional flurries/snow showers linger all the way through Saturday. It becomes breezy and even colder through the day Saturday, and expecting very cold air for next week. Details in the video.

A winter weather advisory covers Morgan, Johnson, and Franklin counties. This is where the brunt of the accumulating snow ranging from 2-4″ is possible:
Here is a look at forecast radar throughout the day. A nice burst of snow will arrive into portions of the Seymour district by mid-afternoon (~3-4pm EST) with this band lifting to the north during the early evening. Snow showers will linger across the northeast half of the Seymour district even through beyond midnight.
There will be a very sharp gradient between a couple inches of snow vs. hardly anything, likely within the same county. Check out the latest snowfall output from the models through Saturday morning:
Here is our latest snowfall forecast. Not much change from our previous map, with very small south adjustments. We have a 1-2″ band from near Bloomington to Columbus, near North Vernon and points northeast, with the 2-4″ band getting into much of Morgan, Johnson, and Franklin counties. Note a very sharp south cut-off. Not expecting accumulations for most of the Vincennes district, with portions of Greene county possibly seeing a quick dusting/coating (esp. north). We will have to monitor throughout the day to see if any additional shifts are needed, as even minor shifts can have a big impact in the forecast for any one location.
