Indianapolis, Indiana – Light snow is expected to develop across parts of central and southern Indiana today as dry air gradually erodes, potentially creating slick travel conditions in some areas.
According to the National Weather Service in Indianapolis, low-level dry air has limited snowfall early, but atmospheric moisture is increasing along and south of Interstate 70 and Interstate 74. As the air column moistens, light snow is expected to begin reaching the ground over the coming hours.
Forecasters say snowfall amounts are expected to remain light, with accumulations topping out at 1 to 2 inches at most. The highest potential for measurable snow is forecast from Bedford east to North Vernon, while areas farther north may see little accumulation or intermittent flurries.
The National Weather Service cautioned that roads could become slick in spots, particularly during periods of steady snow or where pavement temperatures allow accumulation. While widespread travel disruptions are not anticipated, drivers may encounter reduced traction on untreated roads, bridges, and overpasses.
Radar imagery from mid-morning showed expanding areas of light precipitation across central Indiana, with snow becoming more organized as moisture increases. No winter weather advisories or warnings were in effect at the time of the update, reflecting the expected limited impact of the event.
The system is expected to remain weak, keeping snowfall totals modest and impacts localized. Still, officials urge motorists to allow extra travel time and remain alert for changing road conditions, especially during the late morning and afternoon hours.
Light snow events such as this can be especially relevant for commuters and students traveling during peak daytime hours, when even minor accumulation can briefly affect traffic flow.
Residents are encouraged to monitor updated forecasts and road conditions through official National Weather Service channels.
