Good Morning!
Here's the latest from the National Weather Service:
*Disclaimer: Any graphics that I put out until the event is over will have both a Winter Storm and Wind Chill WARNING. This is because the blog covers three different NWS forecast offices, and so far NWS Northern Indiana (Hillsdale/Branch) has done the Wind Chill Warning, but I expect others to follow. The cold air behind the snow will justify it without question!
...WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 7 PM THIS EVENING TO 1 AM
EST MONDAY...
