An intense storm system brought flooding rains to southern Indiana, followed quickly by very heavy snow. The upper level pattern featured a positively tilted upper low across the desert southwest on the 3nd of March. A tight baroclinic zone stretched northeastward through southern Indiana. Strong southwesterly flow at lower levels brought rich moisture along this nearly stationary boundary. Initially, during the evening hours on the 3nd, rain developed along this boundary and gradually overspread all of southern Indiana and central Kentucky. Steady rain continued through the late afternoon on the 4th. One to two inches of rain fell across southern Indiana before precipitation changed into snow during the mid afternoon hours. Minor areal flooding developed across southern Indiana with several roads and low water crossings closed.
Rain quickly changed to snow as a cold front moved south into Kentucky. Heavy snow fell from mid afternoon on the 4th through the early morning hours of the next day. Snowfall amounts ranged from around 5 inches in northern sections of Dubois, Orange, and Jefferson Counties to just under one foot along the Ohio River southwest of Louisville. This snow fell at a very fast rate, with very low visibilities.
