The up and down of daytime and nighttime temperatures will mean that streets and roads successfully treated by maintenance crews will go through a freeze-thaw-refreeze cycle Saturday and Sunday, Storm Center 7 Chief Meteorologist Jamie Simpson said.

There probably will be a few flurries overnight tonight, but no more accumulating snow, he said.

Area snow totals throughout the area measured from 1 to 2 inches southeast of Dayton to more than 4 inches in some parts of the area along Interstate 70..

And even through temperatures Saturday will not rise above freezing, some sun should be enough for salt to change any icy spots back to just wet ones. But, another night of temperatures in the teens will lead to more refreeze Saturday night into Sunday.

Expect some rain by Sunday evening. Snow on the ground means the air just above the ground will be cold enough for a freezing rain that should remain light, but it might be enough for a light glaze of ice on roads.

That expected light rain should not create any concerns about power outages.

We’ll be well above freezing long before sunrise Monday, Simpson said, and continue to warm early next week as waves of mainly light rain come in from the southwest. Highs will be in the 40s Monday, in the 50s on Tuesday.

A cold front Wednesday will bring the return of some colder air.

With snow falling we’ve called in extra drivers to respond as accumulation and slick roads lead to more calls,” the release said.

10:38 a.m.: The end is in sight. Snow is expected to taper early this afternoon. According to Storm Center 7 meteorologist Rich Wirdzek, the evening commute will fare better but many side roads will stay snow covered. “Based on reports and snow rates, 2 or 4 inches of total accumulation is expected when this is all said and done,” he said.

5 a.m.: Around 2 to 3 inches of fresh snow is expected to fall, with the heaviest snowfall occurring mid-morning, said Meteorologist Rich Wirdzek. Some places could see 4 inches, Wirdzek said. Even with the light start to the snowfall, the expected accumulation is enough for the National Weather Service to issue a winter weather advisory for most of the viewing area until 5 p.m. today. That area includes Auglaize, Butler, Champaign, Clark, Clinton, Darke, Greene, Logan, Mercer, Miami, Montgomery, Preble and Warren counties in Ohio. “Snow will take over for the majority of the morning commute, tapering down by early afternoon,” Wirdzek said. “Travel will be better for the drive home, but slippery spots may still exist.”
