Two big cold blasts ahead

DAYTON, OH — The big story over the next week plus will be the return of bitterly cold winter air to the Miami Valley. The first of two arctic fronts pushes through tomorrow. This will send temperatures falling through the day. As colder air crashes in, we’ll see rain showers transitioning to snow flurries and snow showers. Eventually, we may see a dusting to few tenths of an inch of snow accumulate.
