Indiana – Breath hangs in the air this morning as drivers scrape windshields and step onto stiff, cold pavement. The chill feels sharper at sunrise, with temperatures stuck in the lower 20s and a steady breeze adding bite across central Indiana.
According to the National Weather Service in Indianapolis, clouds dominate today before some sunshine breaks through later, but highs stay near 22 degrees. Northeast winds around 7 mph keep wind chills in the teens, especially on exposed roads and bridges during the morning commute.
Tonight turns quieter but colder. Skies remain mostly cloudy, and temperatures dip near 12 degrees as winds ease. That sets the stage for patchy slick spots where moisture lingers, a familiar February hazard when daytime melting refreezes after dark.
Thursday brings little relief. Clouds hang on, highs reach the mid-20s, and a slight chance of light snow develops by afternoon. Accumulation looks limited, but even brief flakes can reduce visibility on interstates like I-65 and I-70 during peak travel hours.
By Friday, attention turns to another weak system. A 20 percent chance of snow returns, with highs climbing closer to 38 degrees. Wet pavement may develop during the day, followed by renewed freezing concerns Friday night as lows fall into the mid-teens and winds gust over 20 mph at times.
The weekend trends brighter but stays cold. Saturday looks mostly sunny near 24 degrees, while Sunday remains mostly cloudy with highs around 31. Meteorologists are also tracking a broader warming signal into early next week, with temperatures rebounding into the upper 30s and 40s after the weekend.
Traveling later this week? Plan extra time, especially during early mornings and after sunset. Noticing slick roads or light snow where you live? Share what you’re seeing.
