Indiana wakes up to a crisp 40-degree morning, and drivers are already noticing the damp chill on windshields and sidewalks. The sky hangs mostly cloudy over Indianapolis, and a light south breeze is beginning to turn southwest. Pavement remains dry for now, but temperatures are set to swing sharply over the next 48 hours.
According to the National Weather Service in Indianapolis, highs climb to 63 degrees today with gusts reaching 24 mph. That quick warm-up sets the stage for a cold front sliding in Saturday evening. Most of Saturday stays bright and mild near 57 degrees, but conditions shift late. Rain develops after 10 p.m., then may mix with or change to snow toward early Sunday morning. Precipitation chances stand near 40 percent.
This system connects to a broader snow band stretching from the Northern Plains into the Great Lakes. While heavy totals stay north, even light snow near 32 degrees can create slick patches. Flash freezing becomes a concern if wet pavement refreezes toward daybreak Sunday. Plan extra travel time if you’re out late Saturday or heading to early services.
Sunday stays mostly cloudy with a high near 40. Light snow could linger early, then taper. Another round of mixed precipitation is possible Sunday night into early Monday before skies gradually clear. Highs rebound to 48 by Monday afternoon, hinting at early March spring warmth.
The 6–10 day outlook signals above-normal temperatures building across Indiana by midweek. Meteorologists are tracking a steadier warming trend that could push highs well into the 50s and 60s next week. Traveling this weekend? Watch for quick temperature drops after sunset and let us know what you’re seeing on the roads.
