The Fishers area is bracing for another round of winter weather this weekend, with additional snowfall followed by dangerously cold wind chills.

The National Weather Service (NWS) office in Indianapolis has issued a Winter Weather Advisory calling for 2 to 5 inches of snow to fall Saturday, followed by a Cold Weather Advisory beginning late Saturday night.

According to forecasters, snow is expected to develop late Saturday morning and continue through the evening. The Winter Weather Advisory is in effect from 11 a.m. to midnight Saturday, with accumulations of 2 to 6 inches possible across central Indiana, including the Fishers area. Drivers should be prepared for slippery road conditions as the snow moves through the region.

Once the snowfall ends around midnight, bitterly cold air will move in. The NWS has issued a Cold Weather Advisory from midnight Saturday night through 1 p.m. Sunday. Wind chill values could drop as low as 19 degrees below zero.

Forecasters warn that exposure to these conditions could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 30 minutes, and hypothermia is also a serious risk. Residents are urged to limit time outdoors and dress appropriately, including wearing a heavy coat, hat, and gloves if they must be outside.

The latest advisories come after a surprise freezing drizzle Thursday morning created hazardous road conditions across the area. The icy precipitation was not forecast, resulting in delays as road crews worked to treat slick surfaces.

The National Weather Service advises motorists to slow down, use caution while traveling, and check current road conditions by dialing 511.
