Indiana residents, get ready for a freezing night ahead. Light snow showers and icy temperatures are in the forecast, with lows expected to drop to around 7°F. It’s going to be one of the coldest nights of the season, so bundle up and take precautions.
What’s Happening?
A winter system is bringing snow showers and bitter cold temperatures across the state:
- Snowfall: Light snow will continue into the evening, with accumulations staying under an inch in most areas.
- Freezing Temperatures: Overnight lows will plummet to 7°F, and brisk winds will make it feel even colder.
- Icy Roads: With the deep freeze, untreated roads and sidewalks are likely to be slippery, so watch your step and drive carefully.
Who Will Feel It the Most?
- Northern Indiana: Areas closer to Lake Michigan may see slightly more snow and gustier winds, adding to the chill.
- Central and Southern Indiana: Snow will be lighter here, but the frigid temperatures will still make an impact.
How to Stay Safe Tonight
- Dress Warmly: If you’re heading outside, wear plenty of layers and make sure to cover your head, hands, and face.
- Drive Cautiously: Roads will likely be slick, so take it slow and leave extra space between you and other vehicles.
- Protect Your Home: Let faucets drip and open cabinet doors under sinks to prevent pipes from freezing.
- Keep Pets Warm: If it’s too cold for you, it’s too cold for them—make sure pets are indoors and safe from the cold.
Looking Ahead
Things will start to warm up slightly by Friday afternoon, with highs reaching the mid-20s. The weekend looks to stay dry but chilly, so keep your warm clothes handy for the next few days.
Take Care, Indiana
With icy roads, snow showers, and freezing temperatures, tonight is a good night to stay inside if you can. If you do have to go out, take it slow and stay safe.
