Cass County, Indiana – A fast-moving winter system is expected to bring accumulating snow overnight, potentially impacting the Friday morning commute.

According to the Cass County Emergency Management Agency, a short four- to five-hour window of snowfall is forecast from late tonight into Friday morning. Snow is expected to overspread the county between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. EST, coinciding with peak commute hours.

Emergency officials said snowfall may be heavier at times before tapering toward midday. Total accumulations are expected to range from around one to two inches, enough to create slick travel conditions on untreated roads.

The agency warned that snow-covered roads and reduced traction could slow traffic and increase crash risk during the morning drive. Motorists are urged to plan for extra travel time and use caution, particularly on bridges, secondary roads, and during early morning hours when temperatures remain near freezing.

No school closures or delays were announced as of Thursday evening, and officials did not indicate whether additional advisories would be issued.

The timing of the snow may be especially relevant for commuters, students, and early-shift workers traveling during the height of the snowfall.

Drivers are encouraged to monitor local updates overnight and check road conditions before leaving home Friday morning.
