It’s the 9th day of the first weather advisory as the next measurable snow system reaches the Tri-State. We’re here to help you limit the snowfall, showing how much will accumulate, by when, and how much snow we have overall.

A winter weather advisory begins at 11 a.m. and lasts until 7 a.m. Saturday.

TIMING:

• Now through 3 p.m. – Scattered snow showers are on the radar, light accumulations beginning
• 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. – Snow is widespread and likely. Snow will accumulate on the roads and slippery patches are likely
• 8:00 p.m. to midnight – Snowfall will transition from steady to light and eventually taper off

Today’s snowfall is slow and steady. This will not be a sudden breakout where accumulation occurs quickly. “Slowly” is the motto today.

WCPO

The most widespread snowfall of the day will begin around 1:00 p.m. and spread locally by 3:00 p.m. Snowfall is widespread and likely from 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. It will be stable, but not to the point where we are dealing with low visibility or high snowfall. Overall, 2 to 4 inches of snowfall is possible, with reports of up to 5 inches possible. I have to say that the early morning weather models that just came in have dialed back the snow expectations a bit, so I’m still including the potential for around 2 inches of snow to fall in some locations. I think that the majority of the three-inch condition ultimately lies in that 3 to 4 inch range.

WCPO

This snow will not accumulate quickly. Here’s a breakdown of how much snow we should see at certain times:
