February 16-17

DENSE FOG LIKELY LATE MONDAY PM/TUESDAY MORNING.  Fog  doesn't look as widespread as Monday morning, but it may be slow to burn off...like Monday morning!  Some school delays are likely.  BEST areas for fog looks to be east of a Ft Wayne to Indianapolis to Louisville line.  Because low clouds will stick around, and middle layer clouds will be present, don't expect highs to be as warm Tuesday.  Don't worry...we have a lot of spring like temperatures in the forecast, however we will transition back to a February pattern by next week.  We also have some spring time thunderstorms to watch for:  Tuesday night/early Wednesday...and then we add a severe threat for Thursday afternoon and evening and next week - Tuesday into Wednesday.  While all modes of severe weather are possible, hail to penny size and winds to 60 mph are the most likely threats.  Any tornado threat right now looks very low end, both in chance and in strength/duration.  The rainfall looks beneficial, and more areas of the state need it than not!   We may see some very light mixed precipitation Saturday night - flurries on Sunday...with light snow and colder temperatures by next Friday.  Colder weather should dominate the first 10-12 days of March, with at least some snow and/or ice risk.
