Indianapolis, Indiana — Snow showers moving south after 5 PM could briefly affect travel across central Indiana this evening.
According to the National Weather Service Indianapolis, scattered snow showers are expected to develop this evening as a cold front moves through the region. The activity is forecast to begin after 5 PM and progress southward, impacting portions of central Indiana including the Indianapolis metro area.
Forecast guidance shows a 40 to 60 percent probability of at least 0.1 inch of snow, with most locations seeing light or spotty accumulation. While widespread heavy snowfall is not expected, the National Weather Service warns that quick changes in visibility and slick road conditions may occur under heavier snow bursts.
Roadways likely to be affected include Interstate 65, Interstate 70, Interstate 465, and major state routes such as U.S. 31, State Road 37, and State Road 67, particularly during the evening commute window. Bridges, overpasses, and untreated surfaces could become slick in a short period of time.
The snow showers are expected to remain scattered, meaning impacts may vary significantly by location. Some drivers may encounter little to no snowfall, while others could briefly experience reduced visibility and slippery pavement.
The National Weather Service emphasized that conditions may change rapidly and encouraged residents to monitor updates on timing and accumulation potential through the evening.
For commuters, students, and evening shift workers, the primary concern will be localized travel slowdowns rather than long-duration winter conditions. Drivers are urged to allow extra time, reduce speeds, and use caution if snow showers develop along their route.
No winter weather advisories were in effect as of this afternoon, but officials continue to monitor the system.
