À propos de cet audio
We're waking up to a cold snap that's gripping central Indiana, and if you're heading out today, bundle up. Temperatures are hovering around the low thirties right now, but it's going to feel significantly colder with the wind. Meteorologists are tracking wind chills that could dip into the single digits throughout the day. The good news is we should see relatively light snow that fell overnight, mostly just a dusting to around half an inch in most areas, though a few spots might have picked up closer to an inch. The really cold air is expected to stick around through the weekend, with highs tomorrow reaching only about twenty-five degrees, making it one of the coldest days of the week.
Speaking of this weekend, downtown Indianapolis is about to explode with activity. We're just two days away from the Big Ten Championship game between Indiana and Ohio State, happening Saturday night at eight o'clock. This marks the first time the Hoosiers have made it to this championship game, and the city is ready. The Big Ten Fan Fest kicks off tomorrow inside the Indiana Convention Center because Georgia Street is currently under construction. If you're an IU fan looking for an official watch party, head to Kilroy's Social Cantina or The Tap downtown. Buckeyes fans can gather at Walk-Ons near Fisher's off one hundred sixteenth street. We're expecting thousands of visitors, so plan extra time for parking and traffic.
On the state level, Indiana lawmakers are deep into redistricting discussions as they started their 2026 legislative session early. The House had a chance to propose changes to the controversial congressional redistricting maps yesterday. There's been significant pushback from residents who worry their neighborhoods will be split apart. Indiana's senior senator continues to say the votes aren't there to move the proposal forward, though that could still change. We should note that threats have been made against at least eleven lawmakers on both sides of this issue over recent weeks.
In a significant development for election integrity, Indiana just confirmed that at least one hundred sixty-five non-citizens were registered to vote in the state. Of those, twenty-one had actually cast ballots in recent elections. This came after the state won access to modernized verification tools through a settlement with the federal government.
On a brighter note, George Washington Julian School 57 just received a complete makeover. The over one hundred-year-old building now features updated lighting, modernized campus entrances, and new carpeting throughout the classrooms. School leaders say these improvements help create safer learning environments for students.
The Indianapolis Colts are heading to Jacksonville this weekend to take on the Jaguars, though the team hasn't won down there since 2014. They're hoping to turn that around with a recently hired new kicker.
With this cold weather settling in, the city of Indianapolis has opened an overnight shelter at West Morris Church near Westmore and South Belmont Avenue on the southwest side. Doors open at six tonight for anyone needing warmth.
