Central Indiana should brace for snow during the next four days, meteorologists say.
“We may just see more snow this one week than we did this last year,” Cody Moore, a meteorologist with NWS Indianapolis, told IndyStar. “This is definitely a busier part of winter. Our average for snow is 24 inches, but for the last three winters, we haven’t seen those numbers at all.”
The National Weather Service (NWS) Indianapolis is monitoring two separate snow events happening in Central Indiana, the first happening overnight and possibly bringing 1-2 inches of the white stuff.
But the looming winter storm set to hit Sunday going into Monday is the one raising eyebrows.
The snowfall predictions for the weekend storm have varied widely, but currently sit at 6-plus inches between Sunday and Monday.
Snowfall has declined in the past three seasons, going from 11 inches in the 2021-22 winter months, to 10 inches in 2022-23 and 8.2 inches in 2023-24.
Moore said meteorologists are confident the area will see several inches of snow in the days ahead.
