Indiana – Gray skies, stiff winds, and bitter air set the tone early this morning as winter tightens its grip across central Indiana. Pavement feels hard and cold, and any moisture left behind may refreeze quickly. Drivers heading out today should expect slick spots to develop as temperatures struggle to recover.
According to the National Weather Service in Indianapolis, an isolated snow shower or flurry is possible today, though no accumulation is expected. Attention then turns to late Friday into the weekend, when a winter system tracking south of the region could bring periods of snow. Exact totals remain uncertain, but timing and cold ground conditions raise concern for icy roads.
Indianapolis remains under overcast skies this morning with temperatures in the mid-20s. Highs today climb near 40 before colder air settles back in. By Friday, daytime temperatures drop into the teens, with lows nearing single digits Friday night. That cold sets the stage for snow chances Saturday into early Sunday, when light accumulations could create slushy roads and reduced visibility.
Travelers on I-65, I-70, and surface streets should watch for flash freezing after any daytime melting. Even light snow can quickly turn slick once temperatures fall. Residents are urged to charge devices, allow extra travel time, and keep winter safety kits in vehicles.
Looking ahead, longer-range outlooks suggest cold air holds across much of the Midwest into early next week, while precipitation chances increase regionally. Additional advisories may be issued as the weekend system becomes clearer.
