Evansville, IN – Southern Illinois and southwestern Indiana are bracing for up to 4 inches of snow as a winter storm moves through the region Saturday into Sunday. The system is expected to bring hazardous travel conditions, especially on bridges, overpasses, and major roadways like I-64 and I-69.
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory, effective Saturday morning through late evening. Snowfall will begin early Saturday and intensify throughout the afternoon, with localized areas potentially seeing accumulations exceeding 4 inches. In addition to slick roads, reduced visibility will complicate travel. Drivers are urged to use caution and monitor road conditions through Getting Around Illinois and Indiana Travel Conditions.
Regional Impacts and Weekend Outlook
The heaviest snow is anticipated along the I-64 corridor, affecting communities from Mount Vernon, IL, to Evansville, IN. Temperatures will hover in the mid-20s, allowing snow to accumulate quickly on untreated surfaces. Snow will taper off late Saturday night, but freezing conditions could persist into Sunday morning.
Looking ahead, light snow showers may continue across the Midwest through Monday as the storm system moves eastward. By midweek, a warming trend is expected, with highs reaching the 40s, which should help alleviate lingering road hazards.
Authorities recommend preparing vehicles with winter supplies and delaying non-essential travel during peak snowfall hours. For real-time updates, visit National Weather Service.
