    New record high for Indy today. We're in the lower 70s. The old record of 68 was relatively low in comparison to adjacent days though.
  2. wxman_ind
    from the ECMWF website, which can explain it better than I: "Extreme values of EFI (close to +1 or -1) and positive values of SOT signify that a very unusual event is expected." SOT is shift of tails.

    One of the GEFS members agrees with this

    The outlook for December for Indiana calls for above normal temperatures. If that holds, Indy could set its record for the warmest year ever. We are currently running ahead of 2012!
  5. wxman_ind
    Impacts are taken into consideration as well as the amounts, so a warning could theoretically be issued for 5-6"
  6. wxman_ind
    Yes, this is the reasoning behind it. Criteria is for an event, not a 12 or 24 hour period.

    Visibility at Indy was down to 1.25 miles in the 5 min observations. I've never seen in my life wildfire smoke like this in Indiana.
  8. wxman_ind
    Indy made it to 95 degrees. I believe it's the warmest temp since 2018.
  9. wxman_ind
    Lovely rain and 32 degrees here

    5" IMBY so far. Nearly 3 times the seasonal snowfall from before the storm.
  11. wxman_ind
    0.3" inches at Indy today.

    Issued only the 2nd Winter Wx Advisory for this season in central IN today. Still looks like it's trending north I see.
  13. wxman_ind
    0.3" inches at Indy. First measurable snowfall of met winter, and nearly doubles snow season total.
  14. wxman_ind
    Will central Indiana fill in this snow hole? (This is for Met Winter, Indy has had 0.5" since November)
  15. wxman_ind
    There is a process to go through before EF-4 or 5 ratings are given, and it takes time.

    The daily snowfall record at Indy for Apr 20 is a Trace. April 21 is 0.7". https://twitter.com/NWSIndianapolis/status/1383459641774919686?s=20

    One of the few High Wind Watches/Warnings I've ever issued. Momentum transfer numbers from the 00Z 3/24 GFS showed values I don't think I'd seen before (61kt at Muncie). Last night's numbers were lower, but still impressive.

    You are misinterpreting me. I'm making no comment on what the park is encouraging. That's up to them. I'm saying quit being so melodramatic and saying it's akin to communism.
  19. wxman_ind
    I'm rolling my eyes because it's encouraged according to the article, not mandated, therefore a huge leap to taking away rights.
  20. wxman_ind
    Yeah we're becoming communist because they're encouraging mask use and to limit screaming.

    Started the morning off with a 34 degree dewpoint depression (37/3), ended up with lots of icing on elevated surfaces but only wet roads. There are some power outages around central IN from tree limbs falling and such. Thank goodness we had a warm stretch before this event to make the ground warm.

    I'm not in the office and I'm not commenting on any decisions, but WPC also doesn't agree with these insane totals being thrown out there. Here is the 48 hour probability of >8" ending Tuesday at 12Z, <50% chance for IND's area.
  23. wxman_ind
    0.05" of ice on trees at 1pm here. A light covering of sleet too. No snow in my immediate vicinity, but some snow has fallen around the Indy metro.
  24. wxman_ind
    In my part of Indy right now, just a light glaze of ice on trees, cars, etc. Road outside my house is just wet.
  25. wxman_ind
    Yes, impacts are more important than meeting criteria, especially when it's close. Our office has been trying to educate people that going from watch to advisory is not a downgrade. It was part of our winter wx preparedness campaign before this season started. A watch is issued for awareness to the potential for significant winter wx.
