Indianapolis, IN – Snow showers and squalls are expected to develop across Central Indiana this afternoon, potentially causing hazardous travel conditions during the evening commute.
According to the National Weather Service, the snow activity will intensify between 2 p.m. and 8 p.m., with locally heavy snowfall rates, gusty winds up to 40 mph, and drastically reduced visibility. Brief whiteout conditions are possible in affected areas, alongside the risk of flash freezing as temperatures fall during the evening hours.
The affected region includes cities such as Indianapolis, Lafayette, Bloomington, Terre Haute, and Muncie, as well as surrounding counties.
