Winter Storm Watch Issued for Central Indiana: 3-7 Inches of Snow Possible This Weekend
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.
The Winter Storm Watch is in effect from late Friday night through Sunday afternoon, and travel could be very difficult due to the storm. There is still uncertainty regarding snow totals, particularly across the I-70 corridor where temperatures will hover near freezing.
Madison County is included in the Winter Storm Watch, and the Madison County Highway has been advised to prepare for the storm. Crews will begin brining the roadways starting tomorrow. Emergency Management will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as necessary. If needed, the Madison County EOC will upgrade to active status to assist all county public safety agencies.
Residents are advised to monitor the latest forecasts for updates on the storm.

Thanksgiving Day Fires: The Hidden Danger in Your Kitchen
On Thanksgiving Day, residential building fires show a unique pattern. Over half (54%) of these fires occur between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., coinciding with the time many people are busy preparing their Thanksgiving dinner. As the evening progresses, the number of fires tends to decline. This is in contrast to the typical pattern seen throughout the rest of the year, where residential building fires usually peak during the standard dinnertime hours of 5 to 8 p.m.
