Winter Weather Advisory Issued for Indianapolis: Slippery Conditions Expected

Snow from Sunday and Monday is still on the ground in much of the state, and another round of winter weather is on the way. A winter weather advisory is in effect until 1 a.m. Saturday for portions of central and southern Indiana. Total snow accumulations of 2 to 4 inches are expected, with higher amounts possible across the southeastern half of central Indiana.

A winter storm warning is in effect until 1 a.m. Saturday for parts of southwest Indiana, including Evansville, New Albany, Paoli, Versailles, Tell City, Jeffersonville, and Scottsburg. Heavy snow is expected, with total accumulations between 3 and 6 inches.

Snow is moving in from Illinois. Storm Track 8 Meteorologist Tara Hastings says we'll see snow pick up in intensity throughout the afternoon and could create some tricky travel for your evening commute.

Initially, the snow will start off pretty light by late morning and continue to move from west to east. Snowfall rates will increase as we head into the afternoon hours. The evening commute is going to be rough as that will be the heaviest rates of snow during this event. Snow will gradually taper down as we get into late Friday night,” says StormTrack 8 Meteorologist Marcus Bailey.

Don't crowd the plow! Remember to give the plows the space they need to work so they can keep the roads clear.
