Cincinnati, OH – Light snow is expected to sweep across the tri-state area this afternoon, creating potential travel hazards. Residents in Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky should prepare for slick roads and reduced visibility due to gusty winds. Temperatures are hovering near freezing, increasing the likelihood of untreated roads becoming slippery.

According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Wilmington, Ohio, snowfall will be light, with accumulations under one inch. However, the combination of snow and 20 to 25 mph wind gusts may cause blowing snow and sporadic reductions in visibility, especially on bridges and overpasses. The advisory covers cities including Cincinnati, Richmond, and Newport.

The NWS cautions drivers to remain vigilant, particularly in the late afternoon and early evening hours when snow is expected to peak. Untreated roads, especially rural and secondary routes, could become hazardous as temperatures dip below freezing overnight.

The light snow is part of a weather system moving eastward across the Midwest. While not a major storm, the conditions highlight the need for winter preparedness. Drivers are encouraged to reduce speeds, allow extra travel time, and keep headlights on to improve visibility for themselves and others.

Those traveling Tuesday afternoon are urged to monitor local weather reports for updates. Gusty winds combined with light snow may persist into the early evening before tapering off.

Stay alert and drive cautiously to ensure safety during this brief but impactful winter weather event.
