Indiana Braces for Snow and Arctic Blast
1 Dec
Summary
- Central and Northern Indiana anticipate 1-4 inches of snow.
- Arctic cold front to bring wind chills as low as zero.
- Freezing fog creates thin ice layers on surfaces in North Indiana.
Central and Northern Indiana are preparing for a fresh wave of snowfall, predicted to begin on the evening of December 1st. The National Weather Service anticipates between 1 to 4 inches of snow across most affected areas, prompting a winter weather advisory from December 1st evening through December 2nd morning. Drivers are urged to exercise caution due to slippery roads and hazardous conditions impacting commutes.
Following the snowfall, a significant Arctic cold front is forecasted to arrive by late Wednesday, December 3rd. This front is expected to usher in extremely cold temperatures and wind chills dropping to zero degrees, conditions that will persist through the morning of December 5th. Indianapolis could see lows of 10 degrees, with other cities like Crawfordsville and Kokomo potentially reaching 0 degrees and -1 degrees Fahrenheit, respectively.
In Northern Indiana, freezing fog has already developed due to sub-freezing temperatures and lingering moisture, forming a thin layer of ice on surfaces. Meteorologists recommend layering clothing for outdoor activities and seeking shelter during the extreme cold. Information on warming centers in Indianapolis is available on the city's government website.
