Dillsboro, IN – A Winter Weather Advisory will take effect across the Indiana–Kentucky–Ohio tri-state area tonight, bringing accumulating snow and potentially dangerous travel conditions into Friday morning.
According to the National Weather Service in Wilmington, OH, the advisory begins at 7 p.m. Wednesday and continues through 10 a.m. Friday, with 1 to 3 inches of snow expected across east-central and southeast Indiana, northern Kentucky, and portions of southwest and south-central Ohio.
Forecasters say the timing of the system is likely to impact both the Thursday evening and Friday morning commutes. Roads may quickly become slick as temperatures fall overnight. “Travel could be very difficult,” the advisory warns, noting that reduced visibility and patchy areas of packed snow may lead to slower traffic and delays on major routes.
Local officials in Dearborn County and surrounding areas are urging drivers to slow down, leave extra travel time, and use caution as the storm moves through. Even light snow accumulations can create hazardous conditions when combined with evening and early-morning traffic.
Residents traveling in Indiana can check updated road conditions at 511in.org or by calling 1-800-261-7623. Kentucky drivers can visit goky.ky.gov, and Ohio travelers can find real-time reports at ohgo.com.
The National Weather Service continues to monitor the system, and additional updates may be issued if snowfall rates increase or temperatures drop more quickly than forecast.
