The snow is expected to begin around 3 p.m. on Saturday afternoon, mainly south of Interstate 70.
It will be scattered and light to start. You will begin to experience slick spots on many roadways on Saturday evening.
However, as the evening progresses, heavier, steadier snowfall will take over the entire southwestern side of Ohio.
Roadways will be completely snow-covered throughout the night.
The heaviest snow looks to begin Sunday morning and linger through the front part of the day. At this point, travel is not advised.
Even as the snow lightens during the evening on Sunday, blowing and drifting snow will become an issue as the winds pick up speed.
Any treated and plowed roads will quickly deteriorate. Travel will be difficult through Monday.
Snowfall totals are expected to range from 6 to 12 inches.
The last time Dayton International Airport picked up 12 inches of snow in one storm was back in 2008!
