TONIGHT

A winter storm warning remains in effect as a mix of rain and snow this evening turns mainly to snow, with some bursts of heavier snow at times. Roads become slushy and slick, especially later tonight. Lows fall to the upper 20s, with a south southeast wind 10 to 20 mph shifting west southwest after midnight and gusts up to 30 mph. New snow amounts around 1 to 3 inches are possible in the Indy area, with higher totals north and northwest of the city. 

TOMORROW

Any early flurries taper by midday, but clouds hang tough and cold air pours in. Temperatures fall from near 30 early to the mid 20s through late morning and afternoon. A west wind around 15 mph with gusts near 30 mph will make it feel even colder, and any leftover slush can refreeze and stay icy on untreated roads and sidewalks. 

TOMORROW NIGHT

Mostly cloudy and very cold, lows near 20, a west northwest wind 5 to 10 mph becoming calm overnight. Refreezing is likely, and wind chills dip into the teens through late evening before winds ease. 

MONDAY

Cloudy and cold with highs only near the low 30s, a light wind becoming southeast around 5 mph. The day stays quiet and dry for most areas, but it will not feel much above freezing at any point. 

MONDAY NIGHT

Snow develops, especially after midnight, as another disturbance passes to our south. Lows drop to the mid 20s with light or calm wind. Most spots around Indianapolis see light accumulations, but areas farther south and southeast of the city could pick up more snow and slick travel by daybreak Tuesday. 

TUESDAY

A few morning snow showers or light snow are possible, mainly before early afternoon, then mostly cloudy and cold. Highs hold near the upper 20s to around 30, with a north northwest wind near 5 to 10 mph. Any new accumulation should be minor around Indy, but slick patches can hang around in spots. 

TUESDAY NIGHT

Mostly cloudy and frigid, lows in the mid teens, a northwest wind near 5 mph becoming calm. Wind chills fall into the single digits at times, so limit time outside and bundle up well if you have to be out. 

WEDNESDAY

Partly sunny but still very cold for early December, highs near the low 30s, a south southwest breeze around 5 to 10 mph. Sunshine helps a bit, yet most of the day still feels below freezing. 

WEDNESDAY NIGHT

Mostly cloudy and bitterly cold, lows in the mid teens, a west wind around 5 to 10 mph. A slight chance for a few light snow showers or flurries arrives late, but any amounts look very light at this time. 

7 DAY FORECAST

This weekend’s winter storm delivers the first widespread accumulating snow of the season across central Indiana, followed by a stretch of unseasonably cold weather into the first week of December. After tonight’s snow and gusty winds, clouds and flurries linger Sunday, then a new round of light snow arrives Monday night into early Tuesday, with higher chances for a few inches toward the south and southeast counties. Daytime highs most days run near 30 degrees, with nighttime lows in the teens and wind chills often in the teens or even single digits, especially Tuesday night and beyond. Additional light snow chances may return late week, but the main story is the persistent cold pattern, so plan on winter layers, slick travel at times, and limited time outside during the coldest nights.
