Combination of strong winds, dry conditions and above normal temperatures will result in elevated to critical fire weather concerns for the Southern Plains and portions of Southern California. This is part of a storm system that is tracking across the central Plains with occasional snow showers and heavier snow from the Rockies through the Central/Northern Plains. Read More >
A low pressure system moved across the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys during the evening of December 28th into the morning of the 29th. This system brought another round of snow to the area, especially locations across the southeast portion of the local area. Snowfall amounts ranged from less than half an inch in the northwest to 4-6 inches in the southeast. As with the December 26th event, the heaviest snowfall amounts remained south of the local area across central and southern Indiana.
