National Weather Service Indianapolis Meteorologist Randy Bowers said there’s uncertainty on the path of the storm and how much precipitation it will bring.

“In Indianapolis it is a little more in question, we haven’t had much snow. At one point 7 inches total for the season so far for Indianapolis so it remains to be seen how much we will add to that,” Bowers said. “It certainly is possible to add to that between now and Thursday night.”

A winter storm watch for areas  including Fishers, Carmel and Noblesville will be in effect Wednesday morning through late Thursday night.  A bit further south — including Indianapolis, Greenwood and Franklin — the watch will be in effect Wednesday evening through late Thursday night.

Forecasters say snow is most likely north of the Interstate 70 corridor and ice accumulations will likely be greatest near I-70.

Precipitation should end by Thursday night.
