INDIANAPOLIS, IN – Flurries drift across the city skyline this morning under low, misty clouds and a biting 29°F chill. Cars hum slowly along wet streets as the first week of December continues its early winter grip. For now, conditions are calm — but meteorologists warn the quiet won’t last long.
The National Weather Service in Indianapolis is monitoring a developing system expected to arrive Sunday, bringing a 70–90% chance of snow, possibly mixed with sleet in southern counties. While accumulation details remain uncertain, early models suggest up to 1–2 inches may fall in parts of central Indiana. Roads could turn slick, especially by afternoon and evening, with reduced visibility along I-65, I-70, and I-74.
Until then, the region will see partly sunny skies and cold highs near 25–34°F through Saturday. Winds stay light, but the air remains crisp, and melting during the day may lead to flash-freeze patches by nightfall. Residents planning weekend errands or travel should prepare for rapidly changing conditions and allow extra time Sunday.
By early next week, high pressure returns — but so does the cold. Highs Monday hover near the mid-20s, with wind chills in the teens. Long-range outlooks show a continued pattern of Arctic air across the Midwest into the week of December 11–17, keeping snow chances alive for the Great Lakes corridor.
Five-Day Outlook (Indianapolis Area):
- Friday: Mostly sunny, high 31°F.
- Saturday: Cloudy, high 34°F.
- Sunday: Snow likely, high 31°F.
- Monday: Mostly sunny, high 26°F.
- Tuesday: Chance of snow, high 38°F.
