Indianapolis, Indiana – Light snow is expected to develop late tonight into Sunday morning across parts of central and northeast Indiana, with minor travel impacts possible.
According to the U.S. National Weather Service in Indianapolis, chances for light snow are increasing late tonight as a weak disturbance moves through the region. While some uncertainty remains due to dry air ahead of the system, forecasters say there is potential for a dusting to up to one inch of snow, mainly across eastern and northeastern portions of the area.
The highest likelihood for measurable snow is expected near and northeast of Indianapolis, including areas along Interstate 69, Interstate 70 east of the city, Interstate 74, and portions of the I-465 corridor. Snow is expected to fall during the overnight hours and taper off by Sunday morning.
Even light accumulations could lead to slick spots on untreated roads, bridges, and overpasses, especially during early-morning travel. The National Weather Service urges drivers to use caution Sunday morning, as visibility may briefly be reduced and road conditions could vary over short distances.
No significant impacts are expected for areas farther southwest, where chances for snow remain lower and accumulation is unlikely. Temperatures overnight will be cold enough to allow snow to stick on untreated surfaces, increasing the potential for patchy slick conditions.
Forecasters emphasize that conditions will be closely monitored, as small changes in moisture availability could affect snowfall coverage and totals. Confidence remains moderate at this time.
The light snow event may affect early-morning commuters, healthcare workers, and anyone traveling during pre-dawn hours, particularly along rural and less-treated roadways.
Residents are encouraged to stay alert for updated forecasts and allow extra travel time Sunday morning if snow develops.
