Wilmington, Ohio — A fast-moving weather system is bringing a brief period of light snow to southwest and central Ohio early Sunday, with minor accumulations expected before conditions improve by mid-morning.
According to the National Weather Service in Wilmington, light snow developed early Sunday morning and will continue for a short time before tapering off from west to east. Most locations are expected to receive less than one inch of accumulation, though isolated spots could measure up to 2 inches, particularly where snow bands persist longest.
Forecasters say the snow will gradually diminish by mid-morning, limiting overall impacts. However, untreated roads, bridges, and overpasses may become slick during the morning hours, especially as temperatures remain near or below freezing.
Travel impacts are most likely along major corridors including Interstate 71, Interstate 75, Interstate 70, and Interstate 275, as well as secondary highways such as U.S. Route 35. Visibility reductions are expected to be brief but may affect early commuters and overnight drivers.
The snow is associated with a quick-moving system, meaning snowfall rates will generally remain light. Road conditions are expected to improve steadily late morning as snow exits and crews treat affected areas.
No additional significant snowfall is expected later today, and the system will move out quickly, allowing for quieter weather conditions for the remainder of Sunday.
The forecast is especially relevant for early-morning commuters, healthcare workers, and airport travelers, as even light snow can create temporary travel hazards during peak morning hours.
Drivers are advised to slow down, allow extra stopping distance, and remain alert for slick spots until snow fully tapers off and road conditions improve.
