The latest data is trending for good news for fans of snow. And with temperatures looking a little colder Friday, snow totals could be a bit higher.

TIMING: Snow flurries or light snow showers will be possible north of I-70 as early as 8 a.m. But the main event arrives as we go into the afternoon hours. By mid-afternoon, all of the Miami Valley is seeing snow. Snowfall tapers Friday night.

HOW MUCH?: Most areas will see 1 to 3 inches and a strip of 2 to 4 inches along and south of I-70. A lot of it will be on the grass, but some slick spots could develop on roadways after sunset on Friday.

ALERTS: As of now, there are no winter advisories or storm warnings in effect. The National Weather Service may issue alerts tonight or Friday morning.

IMPACTS: The main concern will be the possibility of slick roads Friday evening and night. By then, temperatures will be dropping. If snow is still falling, it may then stick to streets and roads. Any remaining moisture could also freeze on untreated streets and roads as temperatures drop to the low 20s overnight.
