New Year’s Eve night: Winter Weather Advisories are in place across a good portion of Indiana for mainly the first half of tomorrow. Central Indiana is under this advisory from 3 AM to 11 AM EST Friday morning.
Skies will build back in as we ring in the new year. We will then see our next system approaching from the south. This will bring freezing rain overnight through central and northern Indiana.

New Year’s Day: Freezing rain will continue through most of Friday morning before we change over to all rain. Freezing rain will continue into the afternoon for northern Indiana. Rain showers will continue into Friday night. Roads will be slippery, so be sure to allow extra time traveling if you’re going out.
Ice accumulations up to 1 tenth of an inch to 2 tenths of an inch are possible.
Highs will top out in the mid 40s with warmer temperatures to the south.
