Indiana roads are turning slick fast this morning as light snow falls across Indianapolis, coating bridges and overpasses with a thin, powdery layer. Temperatures sit near 24°F, and visibility drops on untreated roads, especially along I-70 and I-465 where traffic is already slowing.
According to the National Weather Service in Indianapolis, a 30 to 40 percent chance of snow continues through late morning, with southeast winds near 10 to 12 mph and gusts up to 21 mph. Snowfall remains light, but the cold surface temperatures allow quick accumulation on elevated surfaces.
Drivers across Marion, Hamilton, and Johnson counties should expect patchy slick spots during the morning commute. Wet pavement can refreeze quickly, especially on shaded roads and ramps. Plan extra time and keep distance between vehicles. Conditions may improve by early afternoon as temperatures climb toward 48°F and skies begin to clear.
By tonight, clouds linger with lows near 36°F, setting the stage for a major warm-up. Thursday shifts gears with highs near 59°F and a chance of rain by afternoon. That transition could leave roads wet but manageable.
Friday brings a dramatic change as temperatures reach near 70°F under mostly cloudy skies. This rapid swing from freezing to spring warmth may loosen remaining ice and create damp roadways during peak travel hours.
Saturday continues the mild trend with sunshine and highs near 72°F, offering a true early spring feel across central Indiana.
