More snow showers will be likely tonight, mainly during the overnight. An Alberta Clipper system will slide down into central Indiana tonight, bringing northern Indiana another inch or two of snow into Monday morning.
After this system moves through, a few flurries will be possible on Monday. Otherwise, there will be a couple of days with dry and sunny conditions. By Thursday though, some changes arrive. Of course it is Christmas Eve so holiday travels may be difficult. The GFS has it tracking mainly north of our area, which means will be be on the south side of this system. As it pushes in, the upper levels will be above freezing. As the precipitation arrives, it will be liquid. The air temperature at the surface will be near or slightly above freezing by Thursday afternoon. So, the question will be what kind of precipitation will we see out of this storm?
The Canadian model also has a similar track.
The critical thickness line will be north of the area by Christmas Eve night. Freezing rain changing over to just rain will be a possibility. 
Then it will change over to some snow showers by Christmas Day. With around 4 inches of snow in Northeastern Indiana, some snow will remain in place by Christmas with more to come on Christmas day.
