The National Weather Service in Indianapolis has forecasted the possibility of light but measurable snow in parts of Indiana on Sunday night into Monday morning. While the snow could leave a slushy coating in some areas, especially south of Indianapolis, temperatures are expected to quickly rebound into the 40s on Monday and the 50s and 60s by Tuesday and Wednesday.

Why it matters

This early March weather pattern is typical for Indiana, with the potential for late-season snow followed by a rapid warmup. However, the NWS has warned that the warmer, wetter weather in the forecast for March could increase the risk of flooding in the state.

The details

Meteorologist Alexander McGinnis said most areas will receive less than an inch of snow, with the highest accumulations likely south of I-70. The light snow may impact the Monday morning commute, leaving a thin, slushy coating in some spots. The snow is then expected to transition to rain, with temperatures climbing back up to around 40 degrees by midday Monday.
