Indiana Weather: 02-20-2026 6 AM ET

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly, and you're listening to the 6 AM Indiana Weather Podcast. It's Friday, February 23rd. Folks, Indiana is running two completely different weather experiments today. Down in southwest Indiana, you're waking up near 50 degrees. That's practically spring. Meanwhile, northern Indiana? Stuck in the upper 30s with wind gusts hitting 30 miles an hour. The kind of wind that rearranges your recycling bin. Here's the deal. That southwest corner leads the charge today. Highs near 49 degrees. Central Indiana settles around 39. Northeast Indiana splits the difference at 43. And northern Indiana brings up the rear at 38. But here's what makes it feel worse up north. Those gusts. Twenty five to 30 miles an hour, finding every gap in your jacket. Down south? Barely a breeze at 6 to 15 miles an hour. Two states for the price of one. Tonight the wind finally takes a nap. Temperatures dip into the 20s statewide. Your car windshield will need a good scrape tomorrow morning. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Saturday brings sunshine and highs near 40 degrees. Sunday warms into the mid 40s. We're gaining almost three minutes of daylight every day now, and you can feel it. Air quality sits at moderate, so save the marathon training for another week, but a quick walk feels great. Monday holds steady in the 40s. Tuesday cools a touch but stays dry. By midweek, a weak system might squeeze out a few sprinkles. Nothing dramatic. Enjoy this calm stretch while it lasts. One more thing. If you're enjoying these morning updates, share us with a friend. Word of mouth keeps this thing going. I'll be back at 9 AM with your next update. If you're north of Indy, bundle up. That wind is no joke. Take care out there!
