Winter Storm Warning Issued for Hendricks County

 The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for Hendricks County, effective from noon Saturday through 7 AM Monday. This warning replaces the earlier Winter Storm Watch as forecasters now have increased confidence that hazardous winter weather will impact the region.

Forecasters are now expecting heavy snowfall, with 6 to 10 inches likely across the county. The most intense conditions are projected to develop late Saturday and continue into early Monday, potentially disrupting travel and creating dangerous road conditions.

Travel Impacts: Motorists should prepare for very difficult travel, especially during the Monday morning commute. Roads may become slick and visibility could be reduced during periods of heavy snow. Residents are strongly encouraged to delay unnecessary travel and use extreme caution if driving becomes unavoidable.

Safety Recommendations: If travel is essential, keep an emergency kit in your vehicle, including a flashlight, food, and water. Stay informed by checking road conditions via 511 and monitor updates from local authorities and weather services.

Kiwi News Network will continue to provide updates throughout the storm, including road conditions, travel advisories, and any changes to the forecast.
