Indianapolis, IN – Residents across Central Indiana should prepare for the first measurable snowfall of the season late Sunday night into Monday morning, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Indianapolis.
Light snow accumulations are expected to develop late Sunday as rain transitions to snow from northwest to southeast. Forecasters report the highest confidence for accumulation—at least half an inch—across areas from Kokomo to Muncie, with Noblesville and Rushville also likely to see snow showers.
According to the NWS, temperatures will drop sharply Sunday night, with overnight lows between 21°F and 26°F and wind chills dipping into the teens. Wet surfaces from earlier rain are expected to freeze, creating slick spots on untreated roads by early Monday.
The Hamilton County Emergency Management Agency urged residents to complete outdoor chores today before the cold front moves in. Officials also advised Hoosiers to disconnect garden hoses and ensure sprinkler systems are drained ahead of the freeze.
By Monday morning, brisk winds and blowing snow may impact the morning commute, particularly on bridges and rural roads. Conditions should gradually improve by midday Monday as skies clear and temperatures remain cold through Tuesday.
Drivers are urged to slow down, allow extra travel time, and monitor updates from the National Weather Service and local emergency agencies.
