Winter's Last Grasp: Snow, Ice Threaten Monday Travel
23 Feb
Summary
- Slick road conditions are expected Monday morning due to snow.
- Blowing snow and reduced visibility will impact travel.
- A midweek system may bring rain and a wintry mix.
Slick road conditions are possible Monday morning as snow showers persist with sub-freezing temperatures. The National Weather Service in Wilmington has issued a special weather statement warning of rapid changes in visibility due to heavier snow.
Gusty winds up to 30 mph are expected to exacerbate travel impacts through blowing and drifting snow. Several local school districts have announced closures and delays for February 23.
The forecast indicates a next chance for precipitation midweek, with potential for up to an inch of rain in Northern Kentucky and along the Ohio River on Wednesday and Thursday. Snow is likely north of Greater Cincinnati along the I-70 corridor.
While the system is expected to move quickly, forecasters emphasize ongoing uncertainty. Following Monday's conditions, Tuesday will see mostly cloudy skies with a high near 42, before a sunny Wednesday reaches a high near 52. A chance of rain develops Wednesday night, mixing with snow after 4 a.m., with rain likely on Thursday, possibly mixed with snow initially.
