Let's talk snow!
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for the entire area starting at 5 p.m. Thursday through 1 a.m. Saturday. In total, 1-3" of snow looks likely in these areas and slick roads are expected.
It's this evening that snow will move into our southern and eastern counties first with a more southern driven moisture source. You could potentially see some ice pellets mixing in with snow as this starts between 8-9 p.m. but it will quickly turn to snow and accumulate quickly. Around 1" of snow is possible by midnight to the southeast.
Then everyone sees snow showers overnight as low pressure passes over the Ohio Valley. This should result in 1-2" of snow for most locations with some isolated reports closer to 3" in our eastern locations. This will be enough snow to coat just about everything going into the Friday morning drive. Snow covered roads will lead to slick driving conditions and slow downs.
While we'll see some light snow Friday morning, very little new accumulation happens after 9 a.m. Flurries will continue during the day as temperatures hold steady around 22 degrees with a breezy northwest wind at 10 to 15 mph.
Then cold air blasts into the area for the weekend. Overnight temperatures drop back into the single digits for Saturday and Sunday morning. Both days should be dry and cold..
