Snow to arrive tonight; timing, totals to expect

Accumulating snow is likely across the Miami Valley starting tonight.

Storm Center 7 Meteorologist Britley Ritz will break down the updated timing and totals LIVE during News Center 7 Daybreak from 4:25 a.m. to 7:00 a.m.

A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for the entire Miami Valley from now until 1 a.m. Saturday for snow that could cause problems on the roads.

Amounts:

Two to three inches remain likely for most of the area.

Northern parts of the Miami Valley may see higher totals in the three to four-inch range.

This isn’t a ton of snow, but it is the most that we’ve seen at one time so far this winter.

>> Winter Weather Advisory issued for all of Miami Valley

Timing:

A few snow showers can’t be ruled out this evening, but the main event arrives after 10 p.m. tonight. Snow is widespread by midnight.

Steady, light to moderate snow is likely through sunrise.

Scattered snow showers are possible during the day Friday, but expect a general decrease in coverage as the day goes on.

Impacts:

Roads may become slick or snow-covered from late tonight through Friday morning. This is especially true for untreated roads.

Roads that have been treated both from snow earlier in the week and from what crews are putting down tonight will be in better shape.

Either way, giving yourself extra time and taking it easy out there for the next day is a good idea.
