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.
