Clinton County, Indiana — Snow squalls reduced visibility and created hazardous driving conditions along Interstate 65 Friday morning.
According to the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) West Central District, crews observed multiple snow squalls moving across the region, briefly impacting travel conditions along parts of the interstate.
One of the squalls moved across I-65 near the 151-mile marker in southern Clinton County, where transportation officials said wind-driven snow caused visibility to drop quickly for drivers.
Transportation officials shared images from the highway showing blowing snow crossing lanes and briefly obscuring traffic ahead.
INDOT urged drivers traveling through the area to slow down, increase following distance, and avoid distractions, noting that sudden visibility changes can occur as snow squalls move through.
Snow squalls are brief but intense bursts of snow often accompanied by strong winds. They can create rapidly changing roadway conditions, even when surrounding areas are experiencing little or no snowfall.
According to INDOT, similar bursts were reported across parts of the district Friday morning as weather systems moved through central Indiana.
Officials did not report any crashes connected to the squalls in the immediate area as of Friday morning, but conditions can change quickly when visibility drops along high-speed roadways such as Interstate 65.
Drivers traveling through Clinton County and nearby interstate corridors are encouraged to use extra caution while conditions remain variable.
The advisory is particularly relevant for students and young commuters traveling morning routes, where sudden weather changes may impact highway travel times.
Authorities continue monitoring roadway conditions across the district.
