Indianapolis, IN – A wintry mix is set to create hazardous travel conditions across central Indiana early Friday morning. Commuters along the I-74 corridor and surrounding areas should prepare for snow accumulation of up to 2 inches, particularly north of the highway.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), snowfall will begin early Friday and last through mid-morning, potentially affecting rush-hour traffic. Gusty winds up to 23 mph may reduce visibility, further complicating travel. Drivers are urged to reduce speed and allow extra time for morning commutes.
The weekend will see mixed conditions, with Friday afternoon bringing cloudy skies and highs near 37 degrees. By Saturday, temperatures will drop slightly to 32 degrees with mostly cloudy skies. Sunday offers a reprieve, with sunny weather expected and a high near 34 degrees.
Looking ahead, Christmas Day in central Indiana is likely to bring rain, with highs reaching the upper 40s. While snow is possible in northeast Indiana on Christmas morning, the chance remains below 20%.
Residents should monitor local forecasts for updates and stay prepared for sudden changes. Snow and icy conditions on Friday could create hazardous roads—officials recommend avoiding non-essential travel during peak snow hours.
For those traveling for the holidays, plan routes carefully and check weather conditions for your destination.
