INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – A cold start across much of the state. This bitter blast will be brief and we will see warmer temperatures heading this way for the weekend. 

TODAY: Grab the full winter weather gear this morning. Temperatures are into the teens with wind chill values below zero.

The winds do subside later in the afternoon between about 10 to 15 miles per hour. We will start off with some sunny skies but cloud cover increases later this afternoon. A small swath of snow will develop later this afternoon across parts of North Central and Northern Indiana. Accumulation is less than an inch. 

Temperatures won’t really rise all that much later this afternoon. We will see highs into the middle 20s which is about 15 degrees below normal for this time of the year.
