What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this winter storm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Indianapolis, IN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this winter storm warning went out at Jan 23, 12:44 AM EST, 1 hour 58 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
- A COLD WEATHER ADVISORY is in effect along and north of a Terre Haute to Muncie Line from 1AM Friday through 10AM EST Saturday.
- Near zero or Subzero lows possible Thursday and Friday nights along with potentially dangerous wind chills at or below -10F.
- Winter Storm Watch for all of central IN Sat-Sun with potential for significant accumulating snow and travel impacts
- Very cold temperatures persist into next week with potentially dangerous wind chills possible at times.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Indianapolis IN 1244 AM EST Fri Jan 23 2026 .KEY MESSAGES... - A COLD WEATHER ADVISORY is in effect along and north of a Terre Haute to Muncie Line from 1AM Friday through 10AM EST Saturday. - Near zero or Subzero lows possible Thursday and Friday nights along with potentially dangerous wind chills at or below -10F. - Winter Storm Watch for all of central IN Sat-Sun with potential for significant accumulating snow and travel impacts - Very cold temperatures persist into next week with potentially dangerous wind chills possible at times. && .FORECAST UPDATE... Issued at 954 PM EST Thu Jan 22 2026 Clouds have diminished/thinned across much of central Indiana this evening. This has allowed temperatures to cool a bit faster than previously thought, especially where winds have lessened. Lowered hourly sky cover and temperatures as needed to match these trends. With the cold blast coming in later tonight, forecast low temperatures look good. Left the Cold Weather Advisory as is. Coldest wind chills Friday morning will occur mid-morning. && .SHORT TERM (This evening through Friday)... Issued at 312 PM EST Thu Jan 22 2026 Deep troughing and an associated polar low are passing to our north this afternoon. A cold front extending southwestward from the low will drop southward tonight. A strong 1050 mb high pressure system likewise drops southward into the northern Plains behind the departing front. A very cold Arctic air mass is moving in tandem with this high pressure system, and some of the coldest air of the season arrives tonight. The front arrives around midnight tonight, with brisk northwesterly winds between 10-15 mph gusting to 25 mph. Temperatures are modeled to fall quickly into the teens and single digits, potentially as low as 0 degrees by tomorrow morning (especially further northwest). Combined with the winds, apparent temperatures as low as -10 to -20 will be common. High temperatures are not expected to recover much, if at all. Single digit highs are possible throughout much of the CWA tomorrow. A Cold Weather Advisory is in effect tonight through early Saturday. Guidance is in good agreement depicting the Arctic high weakening and quickly translating eastward as a trough digs into the southwestern US. Surface winds subsequently diminish a bit and become northeasterly. Cloud cover increases substantially Friday night as the trough develops to our west. Despite thickening cloud cover, continued (but weaker) cold air advection should allow for another night with lows near 0 degrees. The trough mentioned above is the system expected to bring impactful winter weather to much of the CONUS, including Indiana. See the Long Term section below for details. && .LONG TERM (Friday night through Thursday)... Issued at 312 PM EST Thu Jan 22 2026 Friday night Through Sunday. The primary focus of the long term period remains a potent and highly impactful winter storm system slated to traverse the region this weekend. Ensemble guidance continues to coalesce around a solution that brings a deep, moisture-rich plume of Gulf air into contact with an entrenched, brutally cold Arctic airmass. While the exact track of the surface low remains subject to minor shifts, the overall synoptic setup, featuring a strong high pressure center to the north and a sharpening baroclinic zone favors a significant winter weather event for much of the Ohio Valley. Confidence continues to increase in a widespread snowfall event, particularly for areas near or south of I-70 even as there remains some questions on overall totals. Latest ensemble and deterministic guidance has trended further north today. Ensemble means still suggest the highest probabilities for greater than 5-8 inches of snow reside across the southern portions of the forecast area, where the best overlap of frontogenetical forcing and deep moisture resides. Confidence is also increasing for higher snowfall amounts to the north, but uncertainty remains due to the antecedent dry air in place from the Arctic high to the northwest. After collaboration with neighbors, we have gone ahead and issued a Winter Storm Watch for all of central Indiana given latest model trends. Confidence is highest in at least 5+ inches of snow near and south of the I-70 corridor with the thought that the far north/northwest portion of the Watch may end up in an Advisory while areas further south end up in a Warning. This gives us the flexibility to continue to monitor forecast trends and adjust accordingly. Where we have higher confidence is in very cold temperatures through the duration of this event, with highs on Saturday and Sunday struggling to reach the mid-teens and overnight lows plummeting into the single digits to potentially below zero. This will create a very deep DGZ. Because of the sub-freezing depth of the airmass, SLRs are expected to be well above the climatological 10:1 average. We are currently forecasting ratios in the 12:1 to 18:1 range, meaning even modest amounts of liquid equivalent could lead to accumulations and rapid reductions in visibility. All that being said, there remains a potential failure mode for the system as the surface low and associated subtropical jet will remain south of the Tennessee Valley. Winter storms that far south often overperform on their northern fringe with models likely overdoing QPF on the northern periphery of the system where central Indiana lies. The strong Arctic high to our north will maintain a steady northeasterly wind through the course of the event advecting cool and dry air into the area with dew points in the single digits to low teens further complicates the QPF forecast. Latest guidance trending further north and stronger warm air advection aloft promoting greater moisture leads to lower confidence in this scenario, but will continue to monitor closely. Monday and Wednesday. The pattern looks to remain active but cold heading through the middle of next week, as a trough persists over the Eastern US following the departure of the weekend system. This setup will maintain northwest flow across central Indiana, keeping highs in the 20s and lows in the single digits or teens through Tuesday with lower chances for sub-zero temperatures. A slight warm up is possible Wednesday, but very cold temperatures are likely through late next thanks to reinforcing shots of cold air. Even colder temperatures are possible if there is a deep snowpack in place from the weekend winter storm. && .AVIATION (06Z TAF Issuance)... Issued at 1243 AM EST Fri Jan 23 2026 Impacts: - Gusty winds increasing to 20-25 kt tonight through this afternoon Discussion: VFR conditions are expected through the period. A cold front will continue to through the sites during the TAF period, with winds to the northwest. Winds speeds will increase tonight and some gusts of 20-25 kt are possible with the frontal passage. Gusts should drop off some during the day tomorrow but sustained winds of 10-15 kt are expected to continue through the afternoon. Cloud coverage will start to increase at the end of the period, ahead of an approaching winter system. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
