Snow tonight, more potent system arrives Sunday | Jan 2, 2025
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – We are eyeing a couple of systems that will bring us some snow throughout the next few days. Colder conditions this weekend with our first accumulating snow likely later in the weekend.
TODAY: Partly to mostly cloudy skies expected during the day. Clouds will increase later this afternoon ahead of our next system. This will be a quick moving clipper system that will bring us a little bit of some light snow later on this evening. High temperatures today will be into the mid-30s which is right around normal for this time of the year.
TONIGHT: Light snow develops overnight tonight and some locations especially north of Indianapolis may see one possibly up to 2 in of snowfall. Here in central Indiana into the city we will probably pick up maybe around an inch. Low temperatures will fall into the lower twenties.
TOMORROW: We may see a few slick spots early on your Friday morning. With the snowfall and temperatures being below freezing. Look for dry conditions for the afternoon on Friday, maybe a little bit of sunshine but cold. High temperatures only into the middle 20s.
This weekend it will remain cold with high temperatures only in the 20s for both Saturday and Sunday .
All eyes will be on a system which will be more potent than the one we see later tonight. This one could bring us some significant snowfall accumulation and maybe even a little ice accumulation possible in southern Indiana. Right now the heaviest snow looks to be across parts of the I-70 corridor and the ice accumulation looks farther southward right along the Ohio River. Timing looks to be during the day on Sunday overnight and may linger into early Monday morning. This will create some rough travel conditions Sunday night and also into early Monday.
7 DAY EXTENDED FORECAST: Snow will continue heading into the first part of Monday. Winds will be brisk as well and temperatures will stay into the upper twenties .
Partly cloudy skies on Tuesday with those high temperatures continuing into the twenties. We may see temperatures fall even more on Wednesday with highs into the teens.

Jimmy Carter inspires Indianapolis couple to do more for others
ATLANTA – Many people spent New Year’s Day paying their respects to former President Jimmy Carter. They placed flowers and notes near the sign of the Carter Center.
FOX 5 Atlanta met a couple who called him a true inspiration.
“He’s just a fantastic humanitarian and just an inspiration to all of us,” said Tony May.
Tony says he’s a presidential history buff and knows a lot about the Carter presidency, as well as all he accomplished after leaving office.
“The work he did around the world, securing fair elections and getting vaccines delivered,” Tony listed. “His post-presidency is one of the best of any of the presidents.”
Tony and his wife, Flory, are from Indianapolis. While passing through Atlanta, they knew they had to stop at the Carter Center to pay their respects.
Tony and Flory May said they were inspired by former President Jimmy Carter to practice kindness and get involved.
Tony says the former president inspired him to do better in life.
“I started a mental health fund, and it’s part of just trying to help people be better, be kind,” said Tony.
The May family also worked on Habitat for Humanity homes after hearing the former president and his wife talk about the organization.
“We took the kids out and started on some builds, not knowing the process, got to see some of the homeowners and did several builds over the summer and got to see two of the homeowners take ownership,” said Flory May.
Tony and Flory May said they were inspired by former President Jimmy Carter to practice kindness and get involved.
Jimmy Carter once said, “I have one life and one chance to make it count for something. My faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I can, whenever I can, for as long as I can.” Those words have stuck with Tony May.
“To me, that’s what I’m trying to live by,” said Tony. “Do whatever I can. I have a lot to do, and I use him as my inspiration.”

Ryan Kelly reflects before potential last game as a Colt
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Colts center and captain Ryan Kelly is entering potentially his final game as an Indianapolis Colt on Sunday.
Kelly is on his final year of his contract with the Colts, and there was no extension signed in the offseason.
The longest tenured Colt was reflective of his nine year career with the Colts during his media availability on Wednesday.
“I think at some point you come to realization, if I don’t cherish the memories I have right now, I’ll wish that back some day,” Kelly said.
He talked about being able to play with Quenton Nelson and Mark Glowinski on the offensive line. Nelson has been on Kelly’s left side since 2018. Glowinski was on Kelly’s right side for four seasons and was resigned by the Colts in November this season.
Kelly said those are the people you remember when you leave the game.
“At the end of the day, I come to work every day because I love the guys I play with,” Kelly said. “I love the guys that are in that room.”
Kelly has done more reflecting on his career now. He said there were a lot of ups and downs and a lot of unknowns. He has played with 12 different starting quarterbacks in his nine seasons with the Colts.
Kelly does want to play beyond this season though, despite heading towards free agency.
“You just kind of come to terms with you don’t know what the future holds,” Kelly said.
Kelly and the Colts will take the field for the final time on Sunday against the Jaguars at Lucas Oil Stadium. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.
