Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Indianapolis IN
1219 AM EST Sat Feb 21 2026

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Colder for the weekend, with light snow accumulations possible
  late Saturday night through early Monday, mainly east of I-74.

- Dry and cold weather for early next week before more rain and
  warmer temperatures mid-late next week.

&&

.FORECAST UPDATE...
Issued at 936 PM EST Fri Feb 20 2026

No significant changes required to going forecast this evening.
Winds have relaxed as expected with gusts dissipating and skies
clear over much of the area, though stratocumulus appears likely to
build back into the northeastern half or so of the area by daybreak,
with mid and and high cloud increasing from the southwest as well.

Still, temperatures should have no problem getting down into the 20s
across the area as cold advection continues.

&&

.SHORT TERM (This evening through Saturday)...
Issued at 438 PM EST Fri Feb 20 2026

Rest of this afternoon....

The pressure gradient has begun to relax across central Indiana as
an occluded cyclone over northern MI continues to slowly weaken.
As a result the core of the strongest 850 mb winds now exists
over the far NE part of central Indiana. Sustained winds across
most of central Indiana are between 20-25 mph with gusts 30-35
mph. The exception is in the far NE where a few more hours of
winds gusts from 40-45 mph are expected until 23z. Therefore the
wind advisory will be dropped for all but the far NE counties.

Tonight...

Quick decoupling of the boundary layer will occur owing to clearing
skies and onset of nocturnal inversion this evening. This will lead
to wind gusts dropping off quickly between 23-01Z. Overnight mid
level clouds associated with a weak shortwave over the central
plains will spread eastward into central Indiana, leading to
mostly cloudy skies by morning.

Saturday...

The approaching shortwave moving out of the central plains will
deepen as it phases with the remnant shortwave trough energy over
the Great Lakes. Despite a fairly dry boundary layer, sufficient
forcing in the form of low-mid lvl FGEN will lead to a few
sprinkles developing during the afternoon in western portions of
central Indiana. Persistent forcing is expected to eventually
help develop a band of light rain/light snow along the associated
cold front in eastern zones during the late afternoon hours.
Model guidance is pretty scant on amounts in this regime so have
introduced low pops (NBM has < 10 percent) for now given
uncertainties.

&&

.LONG TERM (Saturday night through Friday)...
Issued at 438 PM EST Fri Feb 20 2026

Saturday Night and Sunday...

Phasing of the shortwave energy will support a deepening trough
eventually becoming a closed low over the Ohio Valley by early
Sunday. Strong DCVA coupled with increasing northwesterly moist
boundary, owing to lake enhancement, in the wake of the cold
front will support light snow development late Saturday night
into Sunday morning primarily in areas along and east of I-74.
Snowfall accumulations from 0.5 to 1 inch will be possible in this
region.

Sunday night into Saturday Night and Sunday...

Phasing of the shortwave energy will support a deepening trough
eventually becoming a closed low over the Ohio Valley by early
Sunday. Strong DCVA coupled with increasing northwesterly moist
boundary owing to lake enhancement, in the wake of the cold
front, will support light snow development late Saturday night into
Sunday morning primarily in areas along and east of I-74. Snowfall
accumulations from 0.5 to 1 inch will be possible in this region.

Sunday night into Monday...

With the departure of the closed upper low, uniform N-NW
boundary layer flow combined with modest CAA (850 temps falling to -
12 C) coupled with relatively warm Lake Michigan water temperatures
around 2-3 C will support a well organized LES band to our north.
Some of this LES snow is expected to make it into the NE part of
central Indiana with additional light snow accums up to 1 inch. As
low level flow gradually weakens and backs Monday afternoon, the LES
snow will end with mostly clear skies developing thanks to
approaching surface high pressure ridge axis and subsident flow
aloft.
to

Tuesday through Friday...

After a cold start Tuesday morning (lows mainly in the
teens) with clear skies and light winds, temperatures will begin
to warm up generated by increasing SW flow in the boundary layer
as shortwave energy moves SE through the northern CONUS and
flattens the upper ridge over the Rockies and Plains. The primary
shortwave will bring with it a weak cold front through central
Indiana sometime late Wednesday into Thursday. Pops will remain
less than likely mainly due to uncertainty in timing of the
associated cold frontal passage and related precip. Temps late in
the week are expected to be near to above late Feb normal.

&&

.AVIATION (06Z TAF Issuance)...
Issued at 1219 AM EST Sat Feb 21 2026

Impacts:

- Mainly VFR conditions.

- MFVR ceilings may be possible on after 220200Z at IND and LAF.

Discussion:

A ridge of high pressure stretching from the northern plains to
Indiana will continue to provide northwest winds and cool conditions
within the lower levels this TAF period. Models show SW flow aloft
with mid level saturation passing across the TAF sites through the
day on Saturday. This will result in VFR Ceilings through the day
due to mid level clouds.

An upper level low is suggested to push a trough axis across Central
Indiana tonight. Forecast soundings suggest a lowering of CIGs to
MVFR at IND and LAF where the forcing appears best. Thus have trended
toward some MVFR Cigs at that time.

.IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
None.
