Winter Weather Brings Slippery Roads and School Closures to Central Indiana

Winter Weather Brings Slippery Roads and School Closures to Central Indiana

Another round of winter weather has arrived in central Indiana, with some areas still recovering from earlier snowfall. The inclement weather has led to a number of school districts dismissing students early or canceling evening practices and activities.

A winter weather advisory is in effect until 1 a.m. Saturday for portions of central and southern Indiana, including New Castle, Terre Haute, Bloomington, West Lafayette, Muncie, Martinsville, Columbus, Seymour, and Bedford. Total snow accumulations of 2 to 4 inches are expected, with higher amounts possible across the southeastern half of central Indiana.

“Look for snow to develop across much of central Indiana late this morning into the afternoon. It could be light to even moderate at times after the lunch hour and through the evening commute. We will be getting to see the snow taper off around 9:00 and 10:00 and then everything will be out of the state by about midnight,” Tara wrote in her weather blog.

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.

Danville police say roads are slick and officers have already responded to several crashes today. IndyGo says riders could potentially experience service impacts and delays today through Saturday morning.

Snow is falling and fresh Indy DPW crews are headed out to tackle slick, slippery roads across Indianapolis. With more snow headed our way, many Hoosiers could find themselves on the road as wind, snow, and freezing temperatures arrive.

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.

INDOT crews are out and ready for action, according to INDOT West Central. Remember to give the plows the space they need to work so they can keep the roads clear.

After a snowy Sunday and Monday, another round of snow is arriving to help wrap up the work week.

"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.
