Indiana’s mild February air feels almost like spring this morning, but wet pavement and shifting temperatures could create slick spots by midweek. Drivers stepping out after 9 a.m. will notice gray skies and a damp breeze, with rain chances increasing and another round of colder air lining up behind it.
According to the National Weather Service in Indianapolis, highs climb near 59 degrees today with patchy fog early and south winds gusting up to 20 mph. Scattered showers develop after 2 a.m. Wednesday, with rain chances at 30 percent before increasing to 60 percent Thursday as a stronger system moves through the Midwest.
Roads across Marion, Hamilton and Johnson counties stay mainly wet today, but temperatures falling into the 40s Wednesday night could set up isolated slick bridges. Flash freezing becomes a concern this time of year when daytime melt refreezes after sunset. Plan extra time if traveling on I-65, I-70 or I-465 late Wednesday.
Rain likely continues Thursday with highs near 66 before colder air filters in Thursday night. Lows dip into the lower 40s, and by Friday temperatures settle closer to seasonal norms near 51 under sunny skies. A slight rain-snow mix remains possible Saturday afternoon as highs hover near 45.
The broader 6–10 day outlook favors above-normal temperatures returning across Indiana into early next week. That means a warming trend Monday through Saturday, with stronger hints of spring warmth building. Traveling later this week? Watch for changing road conditions and share what you’re seeing across central Indiana.
