INDIANAPOLIS -- A mix of rain, snow and sleet are making for a messy Monday morning commute across parts of central Indiana.
A wintry mix has fallen on central Indiana as the warmer air brought rain and sleet into areas where temperatures have been below freezing for the past couple of weeks. Roads are slippery as the snow and ice on the ground have formed a slushy mix with Monday's new precipitation.
Bridges, overpasses and side roads are the main areas seeing issues.

Several central Indiana counties have issued travel advisories. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for much of the state through 1 p.m. Monday.
Many of the counties in the photo above are under a travel advisory, but the advisories from last month were never removed by the county's Emergency Management Agency. For example, Boone and Delaware counties are still technically under a travel advisory from Christmas Eve.The following Indiana counties have issued a new travel advisory:
- Owen
- Grant
- Hamilton
- Brown
- Jefferson
- LaPorte
- Madison
- Rush
- Scott
- Wells
TIMELINE | Track the rain, snow and sleep potential across central Indiana Sunday evening
The Hamilton County Emergency Management reminds drivers to reduce speeds, leave extra room between vehicles, make sure all of your windows and mirrors are clear of snow and ice, turn your lights on to increase visibility, allow extra time to reach your destination and make sure to keep your emergency kit handy along with a fully charged cell phone.
Be extra cautious if traveling Monday morning. Snowy/icy conditions very likely during morning rush hour. Take it slow and give plenty of space between cars! #INwx pic.twitter.com/3ISMVEeEmY
