Snow amounts still remain very uncertain at this time, but chances are highest across the watch area.

Cold temperatures and strong winds likely will produce dangerous wind chills Friday through Sunday.

The National Weather Service in Indianapolis says wind chills could drop to 18 below zero Saturday morning.

Wind chills as low as -25 could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 30 minutes.

A winter storm watch will take effect Thursday evening through Saturday morning for west central Indiana, including Parke, Putnam, Vigo, and Clay counties.

Accumulating snow Friday with strong winds may lead to low visibility during holiday travel.

Weather status by county in the broadcast area as well as delays and closings reported to WFIU and WTIU News can be  found here.
