Snow is expected to fall around Indianapolis for a couple of hours after what started as a light rain early Friday morning turned into light snow showers about 10 a.m.
Central Indianapolis can expect up to an inch of accumulation, which could make for slick roads.
Meteorologists with NWS Indianapolis expect the snow to taper off around 1 to 2 p.m., with temperatures remaining in the lower 30s and dropping into the upper 20s this evening.
The NWS Indianapolis is also warning drivers to be careful this afternoon once the snowfall begins to end.
“It could result in some slippery surfaces through the afternoon,” meteorologist Jason Puma said — especially on untreated roads.

“By that time the precipitation should move out of the area, so I wouldn’t expect a lot of snow going on during the course of the game in South Bend,” Puma said.
“It certainly will be cloudy and colder. There could be some light showers and flurries in the area, but we’re not expecting a big snow.”
Either way, the College Football Playoff’s first round will be worth a watch as it will be the first time in over 30 years Indiana football and Notre Dame have faced off.
