Light Snow Expected in Central Indiana, Impacting Monday Morning Commute

Why this matters: Commuters in Central Indiana should be prepared for potentially slick road conditions on Monday morning. The incoming heavy rainfall later in the week could also lead to localized flooding and elevated river levels.

The weather pattern is shifting in Central Indiana. A brief cooldown has arrived, bringing with it the potential for light snow accumulation overnight. The snow is expected to begin as a rain/sleet mix around 2 a.m. before transitioning to all snow as temperatures drop. While the snowfall is not expected to be significant, the timing could create slick conditions for the Monday morning commute. By mid-morning Monday, the snow will wrap up, and temperatures will rise enough to begin melting any accumulated snow.

Looking ahead, several weather systems are set to impact the region during the next seven days. A southerly wind will bring warmer air and moisture into the mix, leading to rounds of heavy rain and potential thunderstorms. The exact timing of the heavy rainfall is still uncertain, but the active pattern is expected to bring several inches of rainfall and an increased risk of localized flooding and elevated river levels.

Most areas along and south of I-70 can expect a trace to 1 inch of snow, with isolated amounts up to 2 inches possible.

The snow/mix is expected to begin in the early morning hours around 2 AM.

There is an increased risk of localized flooding and elevated river levels due to heavy rainfall expected later in the week.
