Wilmington, OH – Scattered snow showers are moving across Ohio this afternoon and evening, potentially impacting travel during the evening commute.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Wilmington, accumulations are expected to remain light, with most areas seeing less than half an inch of snow. Despite minimal accumulation, the snow showers are forecasted to cause visibility reductions and create slick spots on roads, particularly in central and southern Ohio.
The NWS highlighted that these conditions are expected to persist through 8 p.m. Thursday. Drivers are advised to use caution during the evening rush hour, as untreated roads and overpasses may become hazardous.
The impacted areas include Columbus, Dayton, Cincinnati, and surrounding cities. Commuters should allow extra travel time and consider delaying non-essential trips until conditions improve. Visibility could drop quickly during heavier bursts of snow, especially in open areas or near hills.
These snow showers are part of a weak weather system moving through the region. While the overall impact is minor compared to major winter storms, drivers are reminded that even light snow can lead to dangerous travel conditions.
