A mixture of snow, freezing rain, and ice are all possible across East Central Indiana as a winter weather system moves through the region late Wednesday and into Thursday.
While the first half of the day will remain quiet Wednesday, a potent low-pressure system will move into our region by mid-afternoon. This system will bring a messy mix of freezing rain, ice, and some snow accumulations. Precipitation will begin briefly as rainfall before quickly becoming mainly freezing rain for several hours through the afternoon and into the overnight hours on Thursday, creating worsening travel conditions both for the evening commute Wednesday and into the work commute early Thursday.
As a result, the National Weather Service in Indianapolis has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Blackford, Delaware, Grant, Henry, Jay, Madison, and Randolph counties in East Central Indiana.
Total snow accumulations look to be between 1-2 inches of snow, but icing concerns will be the more impactful factor with this storm, as anywhere from 0.10-0.25 inches of ice will fall on all surfaces. This can make for slippery roads and sidewalks.
Now is the time to prepare for hazardous conditions. This includes bringing pets and livestock into sheltered areas as well as winterizing homes and vehicles. Freezing rain can create black ice that easily leads to slide-offs and accidents.
