Special Weather Statement issued November 8 at 11:27PM EST by NWS Northern Indiana

Effective: Sat November 8, 2025, 10:27 PM
Expires: Sun November 9, 2025, 1:00 AM

Periods of light to moderate snow are expected tonight. NWS Northern Indiana already received several snow accumulation reports ranging from a dusting of snow to around 1 inch (New Buffalo, MI). Additional minor accumulations are expected, especially on grassy or elevated surfaces. It's possible that snow changes back rain or a mix, which will limit accumulation. If travelling, be prepared for reduced visibility with slick and slushy roads. Reports of accumulations are appreciated.
