A Winter Storm Watch has been issued by the National Weather Service, effective from late Friday night through Sunday. The forecast for Saturday is still uncertain, particularly regarding temperatures and the timing of the transition from rain to snow. However, there is increasing confidence that significant accumulating snow will occur north of the I-70 corridor, especially around Lafayette, with more uncertainty near I-70 and points south.
The Winter Storm Watch covers areas where the National Weather Service is most confident that at least 3 inches of snow will fall, although some areas may ultimately receive an advisory rather than a warning. The watch includes portions of central, east central, north central, and west central Indiana, with the potential for heavy snow and total accumulations ranging from 3 to 7 inches.
