.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1256 PM CST Wed Jan 14 2026

Breezy northwest winds continue behind the front today with a
greater than 50% chance for gusts over 25 mph. Temperatures are
falling through the day today behind the front. Winds will die off
somewhat a little while after sunset. Lows tonight will be in the
teens with a greater than 70% chance for wind chills less than 15
degrees.

Tomorrow will be a cold day with highs in the 30s and a greater than
70% chance that the Evansville Tri-State is less than 32 degrees.
Winds will switch back around to the southwest tomorrow evening as
sfc high pressure moves southeast. This will bring some WAA
tomorrow night and along with another approaching wave aloft we
could see some chances for light snow in northern portions of
the area. The NBM has a 20-30% chance of seeing over 0.1" of
snow accumulation where as the HREF is a little stronger with a
30-70% chance, but the HREF also has a 15% chance for an inch of
snow along and north of the I-64 corridor. This would be mainly
overnight and temperatures will increase gradually to around
freezing by daybreak and will continue to rise from there, so
any accumulation should not stick around long.

This upper level wave is the first of several that will parade
through in the coming days and reinforce the cold, wind, and light
snow chances. Temperatures rebound briefly on Friday to near normal
before another cold front comes through Friday night. Friday night
lows will be in the 20s and wind chills will be in the teens. The
Evansville Tri-State will once again have a chance at some light
snow, with the LREF showing a 20% chance of greater than 0.1" early
Saturday morning. Southern IL and northwest KY will have about a 15%
chance.

The cold will continue through the weekend into early next week.
Saturday night will be the coldest night with a greater than 50%
chance of lows less than 15 degrees (per the NBM). Wind chills will
be in the single digits with a 40-60% chance of wind chills less
than 5 degrees (per the LREF). Monday night will be another cold
night with lows in the single digits up north and teens down south.
By Wednesday it looks like the there is a chance that the flow aloft
becomes less amplified and slightly more zonal. This will help to
moderate temperatures back closer to average.
