Indiana wakes this early Saturday under a cold, heavy sky, with a stiff northwest breeze sweeping across frosted lawns and dim morning streets. Pavement glows faintly beneath high clouds, hinting that conditions may deteriorate fast as a new system approaches. Anyone traveling home after the holiday stretch should prepare for shifting weather through the afternoon.
Temperatures start in the mid-20s and push toward the mid-30s by early afternoon, but warming stays limited. Meteorologists now track a developing wave that pushes light moisture into central Indiana. Models hint at a Winter Tease: flurries may appear by midday, and a stronger snow chance grows late in the afternoon. Drivers on I-70 and I-65 should watch for brief reductions in visibility and light flakes swirling across wind-prone bridges.
By late afternoon and evening, colder air deepens over Indianapolis. The National Weather Service highlights a 70% chance of snow, with periods of rain mixing in if pockets of slightly warmer air push north. A possible changeover zone forms across Marion County, making conditions tricky. Quick bursts of snow may coat grassy areas and create slushy spots on untreated pavement. Plan extra time if traveling after 4 p.m., especially toward the northern suburbs where temperatures fall faster.
Sunday brings a continued rain–snow chance early, with highs near 38° under a damp, raw breeze. Monday turns colder, barely reaching 28°, and models hint at icy patches forming in low spots. Tuesday stays chilly near 30°, while Wednesday climbs back toward the mid-30s with more sun.
National outlook maps show below-normal temperatures expanding across the Midwest from December 2–6, signaling a stronger early-winter push. Keep coats, gloves, and scraper tools ready—this pattern may grow more active soon.
