Indianapolis, IN – Thick fog settled across central Indiana this morning, wrapping interstates in a cold haze that reduced visibility to near a quarter mile. Drivers along I-65, I-69, and I-70 should plan for slower travel and slick roads through late morning. The National Weather Service issued a Special Weather Statement for patchy dense fog, warning that rapid drops in visibility could occur through midmorning.

Clouds will linger through the day, with steady rain likely tonight as temperatures hold near the upper 40s. According to the National Weather Service in Indianapolis, showers will continue into Tuesday before tapering off. Behind that system, colder air slides in from the northwest, setting up breezy conditions and the first hints of snow by Wednesday night.

Forecasters say a “winter tease” could arrive late Friday into Saturday, with light snow or flurries possible across parts of central Indiana. While no significant accumulation is expected yet, the pattern signals an early-season transition toward winter.

Thanksgiving Day looks mostly sunny but brisk, with highs near 34°F and lows dropping into the 20s by evening—ideal for gatherings but chilly for late-night travel. Those heading home or out shopping on Black Friday should bundle up as wind chills dip into the teens early.
