Rain-snow mix, then near-normal temps going into end of 2023
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Locations from Vincennes to Bedford picked up from 1 to 2 inches of snow Thursday morning before scattered rain and snow spread across the state.
We’ll keep a rain-snow mix in play for Thursday night with a potential for more snow accumulation.
Thursday night: As the upper low near central Indiana continues to gradually drift south, snow will continue to mix in, especially for areas west and south of Indianapolis. However, all of central Indiana may see some snow showers at times.
The best chance for accumulating snow will be in western and southwestern Indiana with totals potentially getting from up to a half-inch to an inch by Friday morning. Accumulation will be mainly confined to grassy and elevated surfaces. Nonetheless, slick spots will form Thursday night and during the Friday morning commute.
Lows will fall into the low to mid 30s.
Friday: The aforementioned rain-snow mix will slowly move out of the state going into mid- and late morning. For central Indiana, expect spotty shower chances to persist for much of the day.
Don’t expect much, if any, sunshine as highs will struggle to rise into the low 40s.
Saturday: Dry weather will win out, but lots of cloud cover will stay in place. Winds will also turn a touch breezy out of the south. So, expect a mostly cloudy and breezy Saturday with highs getting into the low to mid 40s.
8-Day Forecast: Mostly cloudy skies and breezy winds will continue through New Year’s Eve on Sunday with highs only in the low 40s. A very low chance for a rain-snow mix remains for Sunday. By the ball drop at midnight, temperatures will dip into the low to mid 30s. Central Indiana looks to start 2024 on a near-normal note under partly cloudy skies as highs top out in the mid 30s. By next Wednesday, central Indiana may sneak back into the low 40s.
