Indiana’s late-winter chill is tightening its grip this morning as light snow develops north and east of Indianapolis, setting the stage for slick pavement and reduced visibility before midday. Temperatures hover in the mid-20s, and any untreated road can turn patchy and icy fast.
According to the National Weather Service in Indianapolis, light snow showers will expand across central Indiana through the afternoon, with the highest coverage northeast of a Kokomo–Noblesville–New Castle line. Minor accumulations are expected, with up to 1 inch possible by tonight. Snow chances peak before 1 p.m. Sunday, when coverage rises to 50 percent and highs struggle near 33 degrees.
In Indianapolis, drivers along I-65, I-70 and I-465 should watch for slick overpasses and shaded ramps. West northwest winds up to 15 mph will add a biting edge, and gusts Sunday could top 25 mph. Even brief bursts of snow may cut visibility and create quick slushy coatings.
As skies clear Monday and highs dip near freezing, melting snow could refreeze after sunset, raising the threat of flash freezing on sidewalks and neighborhood roads. Plan extra time and keep a winter kit in your vehicle.
The good news: A warming trend builds by Tuesday, with highs climbing into the 40s and even 50s by midweek. Spring warmth signals a milder stretch into late next week across central Indiana.
