Indiana, KY, and Ohio – A winter weather advisory is in effect until 8 p.m. Tuesday for portions of Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio. Snowfall and blowing winds are creating hazardous travel conditions across the region.
According to the National Weather Service, up to one inch of additional snow accumulation is expected in areas including southeast Indiana, central Kentucky, and west-central Ohio. Visibility is severely reduced in many places, and slick roads are reported, particularly on bridges and overpasses. Commuters are urged to plan for extra travel time during the Tuesday evening rush.
The advisory highlights the likelihood of slippery road conditions due to the combination of falling snow and drifting caused by strong winds. The most significant impacts are anticipated during peak travel hours. State road agencies in Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio are actively monitoring conditions and advising drivers to use caution.
Residents in the affected areas should slow down, increase following distances, and avoid sudden braking or acceleration. Road condition updates are available through official state resources, including 511in.org for Indiana, goky.ky.gov for Kentucky, and ohgo.com for Ohio.
As temperatures remain below freezing, untreated roads will remain slick into the evening. The National Weather Service recommends preparing for delays and using alternate routes where possible.
Travelers are advised to stay updated with local forecasts and check road conditions before heading out. This advisory marks the latest in a series of winter weather alerts affecting the Midwest as the region continues to experience below-average temperatures.
