NOAA's Climate Prediction Center has released its 2025-26 winter outlook, predicting above-average precipitation in Indiana.
The outlook, which covers December to February, indicates that the state can expect above-average precipitation, but this does not necessarily mean above-average snow, as precipitation also includes rain and mixed precipitation.
Temperatures are expected to have a neutral signal, with equal chances of being above or below average.
NOAA has done better than the Old Farmer’s Almanac and Farmers’ Almanac winter predictions in the area, correctly predicting 3 of the last 5 winters' precipitation in Indianapolis.
Recent predictions have been mixed, and while NOAA's outlook is a valuable resource, it is essential to note that predicting winter weather can be challenging.
Author's summary: NOAA predicts above-average precipitation in Indiana.
