A brand new warning about the upcoming winter comes from an online forecaster who says Indiana can expect to get what he describes as the “worst of winter”.
If you’re like me, you absolutely loathe winter weather. When you are a kid, it’s cool because when it snows a lot (well, a lot for Indiana), you get the day off and enjoy playing in the snow. When you are an adult, you don’t get that luxury. You are still expected to get out of that mess and drive to work. Throw in those frigid cold temperatures as another reason why I am not a fan of winter. Now, I realize that we haven’t even gotten into fall, and the temperatures really haven’t dropped too much yet. However, there are a lot of people who are already looking forward to winter weather here in Indiana.
If you are one of those people who love winter weather, you will love this. However, if you despise winter like me, this winter could be a nightmare. There is a brand new outlook on winter 2024/2025 that comes from the YouTube channel Winter Forecast Central. This video uses different models to determine what patterns will be prevalent for the upcoming winter months at the end of 2024 and the start of 2025. The two climate patterns that can greatly affect winter weather are El Niño and La Niña. The video suggests that it’s the latter, La Niña, that will rule this upcoming winter, and if that’s correct, we are in for quite the winter in Indiana.
How Bad Will Winter Be in Indiana?
This video shows a few different models, and we will dive into them. First up, when it comes to the temperature this winter in Indiana, it’s going to be pretty cold. The video suggests that we could see more intense cold than in previous years, and possibly longer duration cold as well. Great…
When it comes to moisture and precipitation this winter, Indiana we could expect more storms that could bring a variety of precipitation types. Thanks, La Niña!
Oh, the fun doesn’t end there! His overall forecast shows Indiana to be in the “worst of winter” and “big snows possible” region. As you can see, the southern portion of Indiana has the potential to see some big snowstorms. While it’s not a guarantee, we can still expect some artic blasts and more precipitation in this area than usual. For folks in northern Indiana, the worst of winter is expected. What does this mean? Well, the video says:
This means that given the well below average temperatures and well above average precipitation, the worst overall winter conditions out of the entire country are expected here. Here you can expect very frequent and large storms, which will likely bring very heavy snowfall.

I think it’s important to keep in mind that this is simply a prediction and no amount of fancy technology, atmospheric tracking, or whatever they use to create this forecast is 100% accurate. As we know all too well, weather is wildly unpredictable and can change in an instant. However, if this prediction is correct, it’s going to be quite the winter in Indiana.
