INDIANA, USA – If you’ve got travel plans this week, be ready for some messy weather. We’re talking rain, gusty winds, and even a chance for snowflakes as temperatures take a dive midweek.
Yep, it’s that time of year when Mother Nature just can’t decide if it’s winter or spring. Here’s what’s coming and how to be prepared.
Wednesday, March 6 – Rainy, Windy & A Temperature Drop
- Highs: Mid-50s°F (12-14°C)
- Lows: Around 30°F (-1°C)
- Scattered rain showers most of the day
- Gusty winds up to 30-40 mph by the afternoon
What to Expect:
- A wet start to the day, with rain moving through much of Indiana.
- By afternoon, winds pick up, making it feel colder than it actually is.
- Temperatures start dropping fast by evening, and if it happens quickly enough, some areas could see a few icy spots.
If you’re driving Wednesday night, be extra careful on bridges and overpasses—they’ll freeze first!
Got patio furniture or trash cans outside? Secure them before the wind takes care of it for you.
Thursday, March 7 – Cold & Windy, With Maybe a Few Flurries
- Highs: Upper 30s°F to mid-40s°F (3-7°C)
- Lows: Upper 20s°F to low 30s°F (-2 to 0°C)
- A few morning snow flurries possible, especially up north
- Winds still gusty, making it feel even colder
What to Expect:
- If you’re in northern Indiana, don’t be surprised if you see a few snowflakes Thursday morning.
- It’ll stay chilly all day, with temps struggling to warm up much.
- Even if the sun peeks out later, the wind will keep it feeling brisk.
Bundle up—it’ll feel more like winter again!
Friday, March 8 – Slightly Warmer, But Still Cloudy
- Highs: Mid to upper 40s°F (7-9°C)
- Lows: Near 30°F (-1°C)
- Mostly cloudy, with a small chance of afternoon showers
What to Expect:
- Not a huge warm-up, but at least it won’t be as cold as Thursday.
- Some light rain showers could pop up, but nothing major.
- Another cool evening, with temps dipping close to freezing again.
If roads are still damp, watch out for icy spots overnight.
How to Prepare for This Week’s Weather Swing
Secure outdoor items – Wednesday’s winds will be strong enough to move things around. Trash cans, patio furniture—tie them down or bring them in.
Check the forecast before heading out – Rain-to-snow transitions can be unpredictable, so timing could shift.
Drive carefully Wednesday night & Thursday morning – Dropping temps could mean slick roads, especially in northern Indiana.
Dress in layers – Tuesday and Wednesday will feel like spring, but Thursday? Not so much.
