INDIANAPOLIS –A winter weather advisory will cause freezing rain and up to a tenth of an inch of ice tonight in north central Indiana.
“We are going to have rain falling that will freeze mainly on untreated surfaces later tonight,” said Andrew White, forecaster with the National Weather Service.
Rain will start in north central Indiana at 4 p.m. and a few hours later towards Indianapolis. As the week goes on, temperatures will warm into the 40s and 50s by the end of the week. Hoosiers will get some much-needed relief from the subzero temperatures we have experienced the last several days.
“The stretch of wind chills that we had was not necessarily historic, but it was abnormal,” said White. “Within the top ten of the longest stretches. We usually see cold stretches like this once or twice a winter.”
The warmer temperatures are due to the winds shifting south, bringing warmer air from the Gulf of Mexico into Indiana.
“The highest temperatures tomorrow will be in the 40s,” added White. “We could see 50s Thursday into Friday.”
