INDIANA — A significant winter storm is becoming increasingly possible across Indiana, as forecast models continue to refine a powerful system expected to impact the central United States from Saturday through Monday, January 23–26. Meteorologists have been tracking this storm for over a week, watching a large surge of moisture and energy collide with an exceptionally strong Arctic high pressing south into the Midwest.
Over the last 24 hours, confidence has increased that Indiana now sits closer to the northern edge of the storm’s core, raising the likelihood of impactful snowfall, particularly across southern and central portions of the state.
Forecast Shift Brings Indiana Deeper Into the Storm Zone
Earlier forecasts focused heavily on the Mid-South taking the brunt of snow and ice, but recent model trends show a clear northward shift in the storm track.
This shift has been:
- Led by the European model
- Supported by the Canadian model
- Now confirmed by a northward adjustment in the American model
This alignment among major models significantly increases confidence that Indiana will be affected, rather than sitting just north of the main impact zone.
