Snow is expected to begin spreading across the area by 8 p.m. on Thursday.

Snow will taper off on Friday morning.

Accumulations of 2-5 inches appear possible for the Dayton area. Lighter totals look more likely further northeast.

We’re dealing with a narrow corridor of heavier snow, so small storm track changes can easily shift our totals up or down.

Either way, prepare for snow-covered roads Thursday night into Friday morning.

A second, possibly stronger system, moves through on Saturday.

With temperatures in the 20s, this will also be an all-snow system for us with accumulations, and travel impacts are likely.

We’ll get a more detailed look at how Saturday will evolve today.
