WABASH VALLEY (WTHI-TV) - The Wabash Valley received several inches of snow this past week. And as the temperatures rise, that snow will melt and all that water will have to go somewhere.
The Storm Team reached out to the National Weather Service in Indianapolis to see how our recent snowfall might impact rivers and creeks. NWS Warning Coordination Meteorologist, Sam Lashley, says it s a good thing that temperatures will climb slowly over the coming days.
NWS: Temperatures to Warm Up, Another “Lighter” Weather System Expected Soon
STATEWIDE–After snow moves out Thursday afternoon, temperatures warm up and another winter weather system moves in, according to the National Weather Service in Indianapolis.
“It should be pretty dry through Friday and Saturday,” said Aaron Updike, meteorologist with the National Weather Service Indianapolis.
“For the foreseeable future, we’re not expecting anything like what we saw earlier this week. It doesn’t look like we’ll be getting that kind of snowfall in the next couple of weeks.”
Wind chill temperatures in most of Indiana could reach below zero at times this weekend. On Sunday, Updike says there will be a “warm-up.”
