Spring Fever This Weekend…Lots of sunshine and enough of a southwesterly air flow will help boost temperatures to around the 50 degree mark this afternoon from IND and points south (even some mid to upper 50s possible far down state). Farther north, the deeper snowpack will limit warming and instead keep highs in the upper 30s to near 40 across the northern third of the state.
A cold front will blow through the region Sunday evening with some light shower activity and colder air moving in Sunday night that may lead to a few flurries/ light snow showers Monday morning. Another fast-moving weather disturbance will blow through Wednesday with a light shower and then we’ll welcome winter back into the region with authority. Much colder air and snow showers return for the end of the week.
Looking ahead, mid and late February appears to have plenty of wintry “fun and games” in store for the region. Winter’s far from finished….

Spring Fever Anyone?! Hearing lots of rumbles of folks craving spring, as is usually the case around these parts come early February. We still have more winter to go, but this weekend may lead to a surge in spring fever as temperatures moderate. We may have to deal with more clouds than we’d like, but temperatures will warm to well above normal levels- especially Sunday. We’ll introduce a couple of showers into the mix for the second half of the weekend, but these won’t be a big deal.
Slightly colder air moves in early next week, but it’s really not until after a weak disturbance passes Wednesday that the true arctic plunge will take place.

Bundle Up…Snow showers and gusty winds are combining with refreezing of snow and moisture on roadways to create slick travel this Monday morning. Leave extra time on your way to work and school this morning and travel safely. Additionally, gusty northwest winds are pushing wind chill values into the subzero ranks. As we progress through the day we should see increasing sunshine, but it’ll remain frigid.
Our next storm system of interest arrives by the middle of the week. Forecast models differ on the timing and amount of moisture with this next storm, but there’s the chance of accumulating snow arriving Wednesday. This would be in advance of a quick-hitting pop of arctic air. We’ll keep a close eye on things.
The active pattern remains into the upcoming weekend as increasing clouds give way to showers Saturday and a transition to more a of wintry mix Sunday.

As mentioned below, bust potential was/ is high with today’s forecast. The further north trends in the NAM and GFS will ultimately trump the normally reliable Canadian and European solutions. As such, slushy snowfall accumulations will be light (1″-2″) for the city, itself, increasing to between 2″-5″ for northern Indianapolis suburbs (Zionsville, Carmel, Westfield, Noblesville, etc.). Double digit totals will fall across the northern third of the state.
For the most part, snowfall accumulations will come from this area of precipitation moving through the region.
Heavy wet snow will likely fall for a period of time, especially from northern portions of Indianapolis and points north late morning into the early afternoon.
Temperatures will then likely creep up a few degrees through the mid afternoon hours before falling this evening. Snow will mix with, or change to, snow across central regions this afternoon with the northward track of the low. Note the stark temperature contrast across the region this evening.
The week will get off to a cold start as highs Monday only top out in the lower 20s. Enjoy your Super Bowl Sunday and keep the reports coming!
