The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for central Indiana, in effect until 10 a.m. Friday. The advisory signals that winter precipitation — including snow, sleet, freezing rain, or a wintry mix — is expected, with conditions likely to cause slippery roads, reduced visibility, and travel difficulties.
What the Advisory Means
A Winter Weather Advisory is not the most severe alert, but it still carries important warnings. It typically applies when 2–4 inches of snow, or a mix of snow, sleet, or ice, is expected — enough to cause significant inconvenience for drivers, but not meet more serious warning thresholds.

Even light ice or a thin glaze from freezing rain can create hazardous ground conditions.
