Indiana Weather: 02-22-2026

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Indiana Weather Podcast — it's Sunday, February 22nd. Lake effect snow is about to make northern Indiana look like a snow globe someone won't stop shaking. Meanwhile, the southwest stays bone dry. Classic Indiana split. Up north, snow starts at 6 A.M. And doesn't quit until Monday morning. We're talking 2 to 4 inches piling up, with winds gusting to 35 miles an hour turning it into a proper blizzard scene. Highs barely scratch 30 degrees by evening, then crash to 22 overnight. Wind chills? A brutal 18 degrees by dawn. If you're driving, give yourself extra time — visibility's going to be rough. Northeast Indiana gets a similar beating. Snow rolls in at 6 A.M., heaviest around 7. Expect 1 to 2 inches with winds hitting 30 miles an hour. Highs reach 32 by late afternoon, then drop to 24 overnight. Feels like 18 degrees by Monday morning. Central Indiana dodges the heavy stuff but still sees scattered snow showers through noon. Highs hit 29 around 2 P.M., then fall to 22 by dawn. Winds make it feel like 18 degrees by morning. Southwest Indiana stays dry but cold. Highs climb to 33 by evening, then plunge to 20 overnight. Wind chills near 18 degrees by dawn. Here's your week ahead: Wednesday brings a massive warmup — highs surge into the 40s and 50s statewide. By Saturday, the southwest could hit 58 degrees. But Thursday's messy — rain and snow mix likely, especially north. Friday clears out with sunshine and highs near 50. Quick favor — if this helps you plan your day, share it with a friend who could use the heads up. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
