Urgent Weather Alert: Snow Set to Hit Central Indiana Tonight

UPDATE: Central Indiana is bracing for a significant winter weather event as accumulating snow is set to arrive Thursday night into early Friday. The WRTV Storm Team warns that gusty winds have ushered in a sharp drop in temperatures, with lows expected to settle around 25°F tonight.

Residents can expect a gray and cloudy day on Thursday, with temperatures struggling to reach the 30°F mark. Although flurries may make an appearance, much of the day will remain quiet. However, a new weather system will roll in Thursday evening, potentially impacting the evening commute in western areas as snow begins to overspread much of Central Indiana.

Forecast models indicate a band of 1-3 inches of snow along and southwest of a line from Lafayette to Richmond. More concerning, central and southern parts of the region could see between 3-5 inches, though exact totals remain uncertain. This storm could create hazardous travel conditions as it blankets the area with snow.

As we move into the weekend, another round of light snow is on the horizon, coinciding with the coldest air of the season. Highs on Sunday are projected to plummet into the single digits, with dangerously low wind chills making conditions even more severe.
