Indiana – Light snow drifts across central Indiana this morning, dusting sidewalks and coating untreated roads as the cold tightens its grip. Flakes fall quietly, but even a thin layer can turn pavement slick fast during the early commute.
According to the National Weather Service in Indianapolis, snowfall totals remain light, ranging from a trace to around a half inch through midday. Snow tapers this afternoon, but temperatures struggle to climb, topping out near 30. Travel impacts remain minor yet noticeable on I-65, I-70, and surface streets, especially where crews haven’t treated overnight.
Cold air deepens tonight as skies turn mostly cloudy. Temperatures drop into the single digits by Wednesday morning, with calm winds allowing frost to settle quickly. Any melted snow refreezes, increasing the risk of black ice before sunrise. Drivers should slow down on bridges and shaded ramps.
Wednesday brings dry weather but no real warmth. Afternoon highs stay in the low 20s under partial sun. The cold intensifies again Wednesday night, with lows near 6. Thursday remains mostly cloudy and cold, barely reaching the upper 20s. Wind picks up later, making it feel even colder during the afternoon and evening.
By Friday, conditions slowly improve. Highs rise toward the upper 30s, and winds ease. Roads stay dry, and travel conditions improve heading into the weekend. Saturday and Sunday remain cold but calmer, with more sunshine and highs in the upper 20s to near 30.
Looking ahead, NOAA’s 6–10 day outlook hints at moderating temperatures late next week as above-normal warmth builds west of the Great Lakes. While winter still dominates for now, signs of a slow thaw are emerging.
Plan extra time on the roads today and bundle up for the next few mornings. Are you seeing slick spots or steady flakes where you live?
