Indiana — Wind pushes across open fields and rattles street signs this morning as snow showers sweep through central Indiana. Drivers around Indianapolis may notice reduced visibility and brief slick pavement through mid-afternoon. Gusts could reach 45 mph, strong enough to toss loose trash cans and sway tree limbs.
According to the National Weather Service in Indianapolis, a Wind Advisory remains in effect until 8 a.m. EDT. West winds of 15 to 25 mph will continue today, with gusts approaching 45 mph. Snow showers are most likely between mid-morning and mid-afternoon. Temperatures hover near 32 degrees early, then slip toward the upper 20s by late day.
The mix of wind and light snow may create short bursts of blowing flakes on I-65, I-70, and I-69. Visibility could briefly dip below a mile during heavier bands. Plan extra travel time and keep both hands on the wheel, especially on exposed overpasses.
Conditions turn colder tonight. Scattered snow showers taper off by evening, but brisk winds continue. Temperatures fall toward 17 degrees. That sets the stage for wind chills near zero across parts of central Indiana by early Tuesday morning.
Tuesday stays mostly cloudy with a high near 29 degrees. Another round of light snow could develop late Tuesday night. Roads that melt during daylight could refreeze after sunset. Watch for patchy black ice on neighborhood streets and rural highways.
A noticeable shift arrives midweek. Temperatures jump near 49 degrees by Wednesday afternoon. Milder air builds further Thursday as highs approach the lower 60s. That warming trend hints at early spring returning after this sharp March chill.
