A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect for central Indiana, including Fishers, from 7 p.m. Saturday through 7 a.m. Monday, with heavy snow expected to impact travel and the Monday morning commute.

According to the National Weather Service, total snow accumulations of 5 to 8 inches are forecast across portions of central, east central, north central and west central Indiana. Snow is expected to intensify Sunday and continue overnight before tapering off Monday morning.

In preparation for the storm, the City of Fishers is asking residents to move vehicles, basketball goals and other obstacles off city streets to allow snow plows to operate safely and efficiently once they are deployed. City officials say parked cars and curbside obstructions can significantly slow snow removal efforts and create hazardous conditions.

The National Weather Service warns that travel could become very difficult during the storm, with snow-covered and slick roadways likely overnight and into early Monday. Hazardous conditions could impact the Monday morning commute, particularly for drivers traveling before plowing operations are complete.

Residents are encouraged to avoid travel if possible. Those who must be on the roads are advised to use extreme caution and allow extra time to reach their destinations.

The National Weather Service recommends motorists carry an emergency kit in their vehicles, including a flashlight, food and water, in case of delays or unexpected road closures. Up-to-date road conditions can be obtained by calling 511.

City crews will monitor conditions throughout the storm and respond as needed.
