Indianapolis, IN – A stretch of unseasonably cold air is moving into central Indiana, bringing a frost advisory early Sunday morning and the potential for a freeze by late Sunday night.
According to the US National Weather Service in Indianapolis, a frost advisory is in effect from 2 a.m. to 9 a.m. Sunday across much of central Indiana, including Hamilton County, Marion County, and surrounding areas. Light winds and clearing skies are expected to create ideal conditions for frost formation, especially in low-lying and rural areas.
Temperatures are expected to fall into the mid-30s overnight, cold enough to damage sensitive plants and early-season vegetation. Residents with gardens or outdoor plants are urged to take precautions, such as covering plants or bringing them indoors.
The cold pattern doesn’t end there. According to the National Weather Service, even colder conditions are expected Sunday night into Monday morning, prompting a freeze watch for areas generally north of Interstate 70, including cities like Lafayette, Kokomo, and Muncie.
If temperatures drop below freezing, it could pose a greater risk to crops, landscaping, and unprotected outdoor plumbing.
This late-season cold snap follows a recent warm stretch and could catch some residents off guard, especially those who have already begun spring planting.
Officials recommend staying updated on the latest forecasts and preparing for both frost and potential freezing conditions over the next 24 to 36 hours.
