Wednesday: Accumulating snow continues into the early morning, especially across the northern Miami Valley before sunrise. As warm air pushes in from the south, snow will slowly transition to a wintry mix from south to north during the morning hours. The morning commute will be very messy. Motorists should drive with caution.
Snow totals will range from 2 to 4 inches with a light glaze of ice possible in the far southern and then far northern Miami Valley. Most will transition to all rain by late morning or lunch and some scattered rain showers will continue into the afternoon. Temperatures will climb to the mid-40s, which will then melt or begin the melting of snow accumulated in the morning. Showers end at night as a few flurries.
