INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Another round of snow will make for slick conditions on Friday morning, and bitterly cold temperatures heading into the weekend.
Thursday: Expect mainly cloudy conditions through the day, with on and off, light snow showers. Accumulations through the day should be at around one-half of an inch or less. Highs will top out in the mid to upper 20s.
Thursday night: A Winter Weather Advisory will be in effect starting at 9 p.m. for counties north of the I-70 corridor. An upper-level trough will work through the state, bringing widespread snow for much of the overnight hours. Look for snow to begin around or after midnight in Indianapolis.
Total snow accumulation from 2-4 inches are expected in the advisory area, with around 1-2 inches along the I-70 corridor, including the city of Indianapolis.
Friday: Scattered snow showers look to continue for the early morning hours. The steady snow should exit just before or around daybreak. Meanwhile, the lake-effect snow machine will be cranked up in northwestern Indiana. Some of those bands could sneak down I-65 at times during the day.
Otherwise, we’re mostly cloudy and colder through the day.
Weekend: Much colder temperatures will settle in. Highs likely will only hit the teens with wind chills in the single digits to around zero through the day. Overnight lows Saturday night will slide to near zero. Highs should bounce back a bit on Sunday, topping out in the mid 20s.
8 Day Forecast: Big story will be the big warmup next week. The pattern looks to be active, with a few rounds of precipitation. The good news is we are plenty warm enough for all rain at this point. Temperatures will go above freezing for the first time in over a week on Monday. Highs will reach the 40s and possibly 50s for the middle of the week.
