When will temperatures in Central Indiana be above 32F again? Not this week

As freezing weather continues to blanket the Midwest, many Hoosiers might be asking themselves when Central Indiana will feel like less like an icebox. The answer, sadly, is not for awhile.

Although sunny skies are expected Tuesday and Wednesday, forecasters say Central Indiana is in for another round of snow by the end of the week. Temperatures, with possible subzero wind chills, will stick around too.

When will temperatures be above freezing in Central Indiana?

The earliest Central Indiana could thaw out won't be until Monday, according to local forecasters with the National Weather Service in Indiana.

"On Monday, we're going to warm up pretty quickly," said meteorologist Greg Melo. "It looks like we're going to turn warmer and then potentially even wetter into next week."

Monday's highs could hit into the mid to upper 30s, according to NWS, but there remains a 20% chance of snow. Temperatures are expected to climb into the 40s and 50s after Monday into Friday with a chance for showers.
