Indianapolis, Indiana – Light snow showers moving through central Indiana this morning are expected to end by midday, but another round of accumulating snow may impact the region late tonight into Tuesday.
According to the National Weather Service in Indianapolis, a few flurries or light snow showers early Monday will taper off by late morning, allowing for a quieter afternoon. Temperatures will be slightly milder, though still cold, with daytime highs generally in the upper 20s to low 30s.
Attention then turns to late tonight into Tuesday, when another system could bring accumulating snow to portions of central and southern Indiana. Forecasters indicate that up to 1 to 2 inches of snow is possible in some areas, particularly south of Interstate 70. While amounts are not expected to be excessive, even light accumulation could lead to slick travel conditions.
Snow is expected to develop late tonight and continue into Tuesday morning, potentially impacting the early commute. Drivers traveling along I-65 through Indianapolis, I-69 toward Bloomington, I-70, and US-31 should be prepared for snow-covered or slick roads, especially on bridges and untreated surfaces.
Temperatures Tuesday will remain cold, with highs mainly in the upper 20s, limiting melting and allowing snow to linger on roadways. Winds are not expected to be a major factor, but visibility could briefly be reduced during periods of steady snowfall.
Following Tuesday’s snow, colder air settles back into the region Tuesday night, with overnight lows dropping into the single digits and teens. Any remaining moisture may refreeze, extending slick conditions into early Wednesday.
Students, early-shift workers, and long-distance commuters may experience the greatest impacts due to timing. Motorists are encouraged to slow down, allow extra travel time, and monitor road conditions as snow develops overnight.
Residents should continue to follow forecast updates for refinements to snowfall amounts and timing.
