Central Indiana braces for more snow and bitter cold | Jan. 15, 2026

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Central Indiana remains locked in the winter pattern for the next several days.

Today:

Some lake-effect snow bands off Lake Michigan will continue to bring in occasional snow showers for northern counties this morning.

For the rest of Central Indiana look for partly cloudy skies and gusty winds throughout the day. High temperatures will only hit the mid 20s with wind-chill hovering around zero or the single digits for much of the day.

Snow tonight:

Another system brings a renew chance of snow for tonight. Look for snow to develop by mid to late evening as a boundary slides through the state. There will not be a ton of moisture with this so snow totals should be relatively low with maybe an inch or two potential and northern parts of the state while just a coding for southern portions of our state. With that said still plenty enough snow accumulation to make for some slick conditions traveling overnight.

Friday:

Some lingering snow showers early Friday morning, but should taper off rather quickly as we progressed through the morning hours.

We will have some brief moderation with temperatures as we head into your Friday, with highs jumping back to the mid-to-upper 30s, which puts us slightly above average.

Bitter blast moves in:

A strong arctic front will move in Friday night, which will squeeze out snow chances across the area, putting a quick coating on the ground, but more importantly, another bitter blast of air moving through.

Weekend temperatures will be running 10 to 15° below normal with highs into the 20s on Saturday and only in the teens on Sunday. Overnight Lowe’s will fall to the single digits and wind-chill values will be subzero at times from Saturday night through Tuesday morning of next week.

7 day forecast:

The cold pattern is expected to continue well into next week with only gradual warming as we had later on that way. Pay attention to the forecast as we have in the next week as there are some hints that the pattern will crank up and turn more active, giving us more precipitation chances as we gear up for the back half of the month.
