Indianapolis, IN – Light snow is expected to develop after midnight and continue into Sunday morning, with up to 1 inch possible across parts of central Indiana, potentially creating slick travel conditions along Interstate 70 and Interstate 69.

According to the US National Weather Service in Indianapolis, dry weather will persist through the evening before snow chances increase after midnight. Minor snow accumulations are likely overnight into early Sunday, with additional light snow possible through Monday.

Forecasters indicate the greatest potential for more than 1 inch of snowfall will be across eastern and northeastern counties, including areas toward Muncie along I-69. Snow amounts are expected to gradually decrease west toward Indianapolis and Lafayette.

While totals are generally expected to remain light, untreated roads, bridges, and overpasses could become slick during the early morning hours. Drivers along I-70, I-65, US-31, and I-69 may encounter patchy icy spots, especially before sunrise Sunday.

Officials advise residents to remain alert for forecast updates and use caution if traveling overnight or early Sunday morning. Even minor accumulations can reduce traction on colder pavement.

Snow chances are expected to taper gradually Sunday, though additional light precipitation may develop into early next week.

Early-shift workers, delivery drivers, and weekend travelers should allow extra travel time if heading out before temperatures rise Sunday.

Residents are encouraged to monitor updated forecasts from the National Weather Service for the latest snowfall projections.
