Central Indiana Winter Weather Advisory: Snow Totals
Central Indiana saw their coldest morning of the season. The lowest temperature recorded in Indianapolis was 5°, the coldest since January 21, 2024. Both Crawfordsville and Columbus experienced pleasant lows of -8°.
Increased heat release into the atmosphere was made possible by the fresh snowpack, mild winds, and clear skies. It’s going to be cold tonight.
Overnight, however, we will see more clouds before our next snowmaker arrives. Winter headlines in multiple U.S. states are triggered by this enormous weather generator.
This covers Winter Storm Warnings extending from Dallas, Texas, to Raleigh, North Carolina. Overnight and into Friday, there is a chance that some areas in the northern Dallas suburbs will receive up to half an inch of snow.
On Friday, we will also see our fair share of snowfall, which will have an influence on our commute. At 4:00 a.m. on Friday, the Winter Weather Advisory goes into effect and lasts until 4:00 a.m. on Saturday.
The Friday morning commute should go well for the most part. But beginning southwest and west of Indianapolis, there may be some snow showers at the end of the commute.
As a result, it is impossible to rule out a few slick patches, although they will be extremely rare. Over the course of the morning and afternoon, that activity will progressively move northeast.
From that point on, the snow will turn persistent and last until the Friday evening commute. We expect to experience headaches and slowdowns during the p.m. commute. Thus, make a plan in advance!
Before moving out into the night, the snow will gradually melt throughout the evening. In the end, most will have between two and four inches of snow.
For a large portion of Central Indiana, this will be the narrative. More snow is expected in the south and southeast, but less likely further to the northwest.
In certain places, the locations might get close to 5.0. As a result, Central Indiana will continue its bustling winter season. Indianapolis has received 12.0 inches of snow since October 1.
We’ve had 10 inches more snow so far this year than we had last year (2.2). It’s the most snowfall in eleven years. Indianapolis sees 25.5 throughout the normal season, which runs from October 1st to May 1st.
Cold (and more snow) Expected
After Friday’s snowfall, the chilly temperatures aren’t going anywhere. Throughout the weekend, highs in the 20s are expected. On Sunday, we’ll “peak” with highs close to 30° before a frontal boundary.
There is little probability of snow showers on Sunday night or Monday due to this clipper system. There wouldn’t be much snow, if any fell. Our next cold snap will come on Monday after one passes through late Sunday.
Monday will see a drop in temperature, paving the way for further chilly weather. Tuesday and Wednesday will see highs in the teens as we stay dry. Subzero wind chills and single-digit lows are also probable.
