INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - It could be a snowy weekend in northern Indiana.

The National Weather Service issued winter storm warnings and advisories on Saturday for about two dozen counties in the northern half of the state.

The advisories and warnings were for counties along Lake Michigan and the state's northern border. They predicted up to 12 inches of snow starting later Saturday in some parts through early Monday morning. Other areas could see two inches or more.

Weather officials are advising caution on the roads with reduced visibility.

The Indiana Department of Transportation on Saturday advised travelers facing snowy road conditions to reduce speeds and keep a safe distance between vehicles, especially around snow plows.
