Indianapolis, IN – Holiday travelers across central Indiana should prepare for changing weather conditions ahead of Thanksgiving, as forecasters warn of rain earlier in the week followed by a sharp drop in temperatures. The National Weather Service in Indianapolis reports that rain looks likely Tuesday and Wednesday, potentially affecting pre-holiday travel.
According to meteorologists, a surge of colder air will arrive Friday and linger through the weekend, bringing temperatures well below those seen early in the week. While confidence is increasing regarding the rain and cool-down, several details remain uncertain.
Forecasters say they are still monitoring the extent of the cold air after Thanksgiving, the possibility of light snow Thursday or Friday, and any potential travel impacts—especially in traditional lake-effect regions. Light snowfall cannot be ruled out in the wake of departing moisture, but confidence remains low this far out.
Travelers heading across Indiana or into neighboring Great Lakes states should monitor forecast updates closely, as timing shifts could influence road conditions and airport delays.
