Indianapolis, Indiana – A quieter winter pattern is expected to take hold across Indiana and Ohio during the January 10–14 period, keeping rain and snow chances limited and reducing the likelihood of travel disruptions across the region.
According to the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center, much of Indiana and Ohio is favored to see below-normal precipitation during the 6–10 day window, while temperatures trend near to slightly above seasonal averages. That combination limits storm development and significantly reduces opportunities for widespread rain or accumulating snow.
Across Indiana, including Indianapolis, Lafayette, Muncie, and Fort Wayne, long dry stretches are expected with only isolated light rain possible if weak systems pass through. Snow chances remain minimal due to marginal surface temperatures. In Ohio, including Columbus, Dayton, Cincinnati, and Toledo, precipitation chances also stay low, with any wintry mix risk confined to brief overnight periods, mainly in northern counties.
Road conditions are expected to remain favorable through much of the period. While patchy early morning fog or damp spots may develop near river valleys, widespread slick travel conditions are not anticipated.
Overall, the pattern supports below-average precipitation and low-impact winter weather. While short-term changes remain possible, no widespread rain or snow alerts are currently expected as the January 10–14 timeframe approaches.
