Indiana wakes up to damp pavement and a brisk 37° start, with low clouds stretching over central counties and a cold edge in the air. Drivers heading out this morning will notice the chill, but the bigger shift arrives late Sunday as snow showers try to mix in before March begins.

According to the National Weather Service in Indianapolis, highs reach the mid-50s today with increasing clouds and light winds. A 30% rain chance develops late tonight as temperatures dip near 31°. That number matters. When roads hover near freezing, brief flash freezing can develop on bridges and ramps if melting refreezes toward daybreak.

Sunday turns colder. Highs struggle near 41° with northeast winds gusting to 18 mph. Snow chances climb to 40% Sunday night, mainly after 1 a.m., with lows near 27°. While accumulation looks minor, even light snow can create slick stretches along I-465, I-70, and U.S. 31 before the Monday commute.

By Monday, a slight snow chance lingers early before highs rebound into the low 40s. Rain becomes likely Tuesday with a 90% chance and gusts over 20 mph. Expect wet roads and ponding during the afternoon drive.

The pattern flips midweek. Highs jump to 60° Wednesday with rain likely, signaling a milder March trend. The 6–10 day outlook favors above-normal temperatures, hinting at early Spring Warmth settling in next week.

Sunday: High 41°, snow chance late.
Monday: High 43°, slight early snow chance.
