Good evening, Indy. As of late morning, we began spreading the word, via our social media accounts, of the need to “beef up” snow totals. Sure enough, latest data continues to point towards a snowier solution as of this update. We now think widespread 5″-8″ snow totals will be common across most of central Indiana, but there will be heavier amounts where localized banding sets up. As expected last night, the transition from sleet to snow was a rather rapid one this evening and we now think this will be an all-snow event for the majority of central Indiana through the duration of the storm.
While it won’t snow the entire upcoming 24 hours, waves of moderate to heavy precipitation will move in from the southwest and result in a widespread heavy snow event Friday. There’s the chance the National Weather Service will transition Winter Storm Warnings over to Heavy Snow Warnings to account for the all-snow event ahead.
Latest raw data breaks down like this for Indianapolis:
We’ll have your updated, custom-built, 7-Day forecast video posted shortly. For now, here’s a look at what the local radar may look like tomorrow morning when we think another wave of moderate to heavy snow moves back into the region from the southwest:

Good Morning and happy Thursday! We continue to monitor the latest data for our upcoming winter weather events. It’s a busy time of things and by the looks of the overall pattern, I’ll have to stock up on the coffee for the weeks ahead. Quite honestly, a very cold and snowy pattern appears to be setting up shop now through the end of the month. Anyone dreaming of a white Christmas? 😉
Here are some quick bullet points for the upcoming few days:
Latest forecast models continue to suggest temperatures fall through the day with a mixture of snow and sleet overspreading the region as early as 3-5pm from southwest to northeast. We anticipate a rather rapid transition from sleet to snow, especially from IND and points north. Here’s a look at the latest HRRR simulated radar data, valid tonight at 6 o’clock:
Here’s a look at the GFS model. (We think this particular model has a much better handle on things now that we’re closer to the event). Note the “waves” of wintry precipitation forecast and we agree with this. Wave #1 arrives for the evening rush with wave #2 arriving Friday morning into the afternoon.
Additionally, after a very cold and dry Saturday, renewed accumulating snow will overspread the region Sunday, potentially ending as a mixture of light freezing rain or freezing drizzle atop the fresh snow Sunday afternoon.
