OH Weather: How Much Snow Will We Get To End The Week?

OHIO — The Buckeye State's early preview of spring, complete with 50-degree temps, came to an end Tuesday night. Winter's frigid cold returned and with it came the threat of more snow.

Most of northern Ohio will get between 2 and 6 inches of snow between Thursday night and early Friday afternoon, according to forecasts from the National Weather Service. Communities further south could get a wintry mix of precipitation that will ice over, creating a 0.1 to 0.2 inch-thick ice cover.

Temperatures throughout the end of the week will be in the mid-30s during the day and low-20s overnight. Scattered snow is possible Wednesday and Friday night, but little-to-no accumulation is expected during those times.

"A system will track across the Ohio Valley Thursday night into Friday morning, bringing the potential for light to moderate snow accumulations. A brief period of mixed precipitation is also possible," the National Weather Service said.

The snow storm could impact morning commutes on Friday, so plan on a longer, more arduous drive if you're hitting the road that day.

Here's a day-by-day forecast from the National Weather Service:

Wednesday — A 20-percent chance of snow showers between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., but little accumulation is expected. Temperatures will top out at 32 degrees during the day. A 30-percent chance of snow showers overnight, with temperatures dipping to 20 degrees.

Thursday — A 30-percent chance of snow showers during the day, then a brief stretch of sun. Less than 0.5 inches of snow is expected to accumulate during the afternoon. Thursday's high will be around 33 degrees. Overnight, there is a 100-percent chance of snow, the National Weather Service said. Expect 1 to 3 inches to fall in most communities. Temperatures will hover around 27 degrees.

Friday — A 90-percent chance of snow to start Friday, with an additional 1 to 2 inches expected to accumulate. Temperatures will peak around 31 degrees. As the day progresses, the chance for snow decreases, and less than 0.5 inches should accumulate from late afternoon through the evening. Temperatures will fall to 17 degrees overnight.
