Special Weather Statement issued January 26 at 1:26PM EST by NWS Northern Indiana

Effective: Mon January 26, 2026, 1:26 PM
Expires: Tue January 27, 2026, 4:30 AM

Southwest winds will strengthen tonight with gusts of 30 to 35 expected from late tonight through Tuesday afternoon. Winds will shift to the west Tuesday morning. While additional snow accumulations will be light late tonight and Tuesday, the combination of these strong wind gusts and the recently fallen snow will likely create blowing and drifting snow, especially across rural and open areas. Motorists should be prepared for rapid changes in road conditions across short distances due to the drifting snow potential. In addition, bitterly cold wind chills as cold as 15 to 25 below can be expected tonight into Tuesday morning. Wind gusts will begin to subside Tuesday evening.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
