Indiana wakes up under gray skies, damp pavement, and the occasional swirl of light flakes as winter nudges back into central Indiana. Cars kick up mist on interstates, sidewalks feel slick in spots, and temperatures hover just cold enough to keep drivers alert through the day.
According to the National Weather Service in Indianapolis, scattered snow showers may develop through the morning and early afternoon, producing little accumulation but enough to create brief travel issues. Highs reach the mid-40s before cooler air settles in, and winds increase from the west with occasional gusts.
In Indianapolis, rain may mix with snow at times before fading later today. Bridges, overpasses, and untreated roads could briefly turn slick, especially where melting refreezes after sunset. INDOT crews continue monitoring conditions along I-65, I-70, and I-465, where spray and slush can reduce visibility during heavier bursts.
Sunday brings another chance for light snow early, followed by partial clearing and highs in the lower 30s. That sets up a classic January concern: daytime melt followed by evening freeze. Side streets, parking lots, and sidewalks could glaze over quickly after dark. Plan extra time if heading out and keep traction in mind.
Early next week turns quieter but colder. Sunshine returns Monday and Tuesday, though nights dip into the 20s and 30s. Another weak system may introduce rain or a rain-snow mix by midweek as temperatures fluctuate near freezing.
Drivers should slow down on wet roads today, keep headlights on in low visibility, and watch for refreezing after sunset. Winter has not loosened its grip just yet.
