    WFAH Forecasters take into account liquid to snowfall ratio projections when making a snowfall forecast. A drier snow will not only accumulate more, but is also easier to blow and drift. A wetter snow may not drift as bad, but is harder to plow.

    Thousands of WFAH Members from all over the state are excellent weather observers, and post current weather conditions and road status reports from every corner of the state on the Members Facebook Page.

     

    Hoosier Weather NOW

    January 16-17

    There are a lot of questions regarding what we see on Friday/Friday night. Modeling can't take into account that we have a frozen ground, and have been below freezing the vast majority of hours in 2025. Areas may push to 40 degrees, but it won't feel that warm. I suspect we will see quite a bit of fog, I believe we will see precipitation later Friday evening into Saturday morning. I'm expecting to see light rain that should freeze on contact. This will mix with sleet and snow at times and likely end as a period of snow Saturday morning as temperatures crash creating a flash freeze. I think Saturday looks like a pretty miserable day, and a good day to stay inside if you can. Sunday, temperatures will continue to fall. Some of the coldest air we have seen in years arrives MLK Day and will last into Tuesday and Wednesday. Any school in session Monday has the chance for a delay, and delays if not closings due to extreme cold are likely Tuesday. We should see our first widespread cold air advisories/warnings during this time. Cold delays are possible Wednesday morning. We should quasi-warm up Wednesday night into Thursday ahead of the next snow maker, which could be a significant one. WE ARE IN A VERY ACTIVE PATTERN that doesn't look to end soon.

    • Meredith: - You can't ask for better weather explanations and forecasts at a very affordable price!  The way Chris and his team interacts with us is amazing, especially in times of severe weather.  We always have more notice for potential severe storms, excess cold and heat, and the long, long range outlooks are very much appreciated.  With […]
    • Tammy - WFAH is the only weather i pay attention to. Accurate, reliable weather in an easy to understand mode. Well worth the price. I feel safe knowing Chris is monitoring severe weather and i can get real time. He stays on it until the threat has passed. I highly recommend WFAH. You can trust what he […]
    • D.S.: - Love everything; comical once in a while, educational, prepared in advance, great rapport with forecaster for the great price.  Extremely interactive!  Can’t have that with the weather corporations or networks.
    • Lori: - You made a believer out of me years ago. Your forecast is more accurate that any of the "tv" forecasts. You can't find any other source that gives you the kind of individualized forecast as this. Chris doesn't just give you a forecast. He explains what is going on with the atmosphere. It's a master […]
    • Kevin: - As a small business owner in the lawn and landscaping industry, WFAH has helped not only stay safe but also save money.  The long term outlooks are prefect for project planning while the shorter term forecasts are so accurate rarely do we miss working because of poor forecasts.   Worth every penny and more for the […]
    • Jeanette: - My husband and I are 4th generation farmers raising corn, soybeans, wheat and pigs. We make major decisions based on the weather! Your forecasts have helped us determine optimal planting days, when we can spray our fields and when to watch for dangerous storms that could cause power outages in our pig barns. We appreciate […]
    • Shirley: - I believe that I was one of the first of the members and I just don't pay any attention to any other news or whether stations or apps and I tell everybody no whatever they tell me it's going to be like I tell them wait we'll look it up and see what Chris says […]
    • CJ: - I love this group. Chris McNew and his team are always keeping us updated on the weather. It's also nice when severe weather is happening, you basically get almost minute to minute updates plus with everyone posting what's going on in their location it helps me feel connected and informed.
    • Shawn: - For weather in Indiana, the WFAH website/Facebook members group is as beneficial for 30 bucks as you can get! Chris, Doug, Matt - along with members in every nook and cranny of Indiana - provide real time information on exact conditions in their neck of the woods as it is happening. Very detailed forecasts that […]
