It will be a quieter day for our Tuesday around central Indiana. Many communities are still trying to dig out from the heavy snow we received Sunday and Monday. You can see from the map below where the bands of heaviest snow fell versus the sharp cutoff in our northern counties.

A cold front is making its way into the Coastal Empire and Low Country today, bringing showers, storms, and wind. This marks the arrival of the long-awaited arctic blast we’ve been talking about for the past week.

It all starts Monday afternoon and evening with a cold front that will send rain and thunderstorms through the area.

A dangerous winter storm has led to more than 2,000 flight cancelations nationwide, while also leaving thousands without power. Now, a deep freeze is setting in across much the country, with more snow still to come.

Hoping for a warmup in your future? Unfortunately, the arctic air is here to stay for a while. Much of the rest of January is expected to have below-average temps for the eastern half of the country.
