Indianapolis, IN – Central Indiana residents can expect a wet start to the week, with rain arriving late Monday and snow likely midweek. Forecasters warn of rapidly dropping temperatures, which could create slick conditions on roads like I-70 by Wednesday night.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), rain is expected to intensify late Monday into Tuesday morning, bringing widespread showers across the region. Temperatures will remain mild on Monday, with highs reaching 64°F. However, by Wednesday, daytime highs will fall to the low 50s before plunging into the 30s overnight. Rain could transition into a rain-snow mix Wednesday night into early Thursday, especially in areas northwest of Indianapolis.
NWS advises drivers to prepare for potential travel disruptions midweek as gusty winds up to 30 mph could accompany the rain and snow. With snow possible along major routes like I-70 and I-65, commuters should monitor forecasts and road conditions.
The extended forecast shows additional precipitation chances later this week, with highs barely reaching 40°F on Thursday. Friday may bring dry weather, but cold temperatures will linger into the weekend.
