Porter County, IN – A travel advisory is now in effect for unincorporated areas of Porter County as of 3:27 p.m. Friday, according to the Porter County Emergency Management Agency. Officials warn that snow-covered and slippery roads are creating hazardous travel conditions across rural portions of the county.
According to the agency, the advisory will remain in place until further notice. The alert means that nonessential travel may be restricted in some areas, and drivers are urged to use extreme caution or avoid travel altogether if possible.
The advisory specifically applies to unincorporated Porter County—areas outside the municipal limits of cities and towns. Officials say road surfaces are slick, visibility may be reduced, and additional snow or ice could worsen driving conditions through the evening.
Residents are encouraged to delay travel plans, reduce speed, and allow extra distance between vehicles if driving is unavoidable. Updates on the advisory will be shared through the Porter County EMA’s social media channels and local news outlets.
