The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory to follow Sunday's ice storm warning.
The advisory will be in effect until 1 p.m. Monday, when the NWS is predicting freezing rain, sleet and about a quarter-inch accumulation of ice. The sleet and freezing rain will turn to snow afterward.
According to the advisory, the NWS is also predicting power outages and falling tree branches due to the combination of wind and ice.
The Indiana Department of Transportation said Sunday in a press release that it had dispatched it's entire fleet of plow and salt trucks in preparation for snow later in the evening.
"The potential for ice accumulations in central and southern Indiana make this winter storm especially hazardous for travelers," the release said. "INDOT officials advise motorists to drive with extreme caution where icy conditions exist tonight through tomorrow afternoon."
