Oh Snow! Get Ready for Southern Indiana’s First Snow Arrives This Weekend

Get ready, Southern Indiana! The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Outlook, forecasting the first measurable snow of the season. If you live along or north of the I-64 corridor, Saturday might bring a fresh blanket of snow to kick off the winter vibes.

What to Expect

A weather disturbance is predicted to deliver light snow starting Saturday morning and continuing into the evening. Accumulations could range from 1 to 2 inches in Southern Indiana, especially in areas like Evansville and Jasper. Those south of the I-64 corridor may see little to no accumulation, with the snow tapering off quickly.

Travel Tips for Saturday

While temperatures during the day should remain above freezing, minor travel difficulties are possible. The heaviest snow could briefly impact visibility, so be cautious if you're out and about. Later Saturday night, when temperatures dip into the 20s, slick spots could form on roads, especially bridges and overpasses.

Why This Snow Matters

This is the first snowfall of the season—and with holiday travel underway, it's a good idea to prepare. Even small snow accumulations can catch drivers off guard. Make sure to check road conditions before heading out and allow extra travel time.
