Columbus, Ohio: From 1 a.m. until 10 a.m. Saturday, a winter weather advisory is still in force for parts of central and west-central Ohio and east-central Indiana. Travel conditions are predicted to be dangerous due to light snow and freezing rain.
The Wilmington, Ohio, National Weather Service reports that snow accumulations of half an inch or less and total ice accumulations of up to a tenth of an inch. Throughout the morning, drivers may be impacted by slick roads and low visibility.
Columbus, Dayton, Delaware, Springfield, and Richmond, Indiana, are among the impacted cities. Because ice forms more quickly on bridges and overpasses, officials advise vehicles to slow down and use caution.
Drivers in Ohio should check ohgo.com for the most recent road conditions, while those in Indiana can visit 511in.org.
As the precipitation lessens by late morning, temperatures are predicted to stay close to freezing. On untreated surfaces, residual ice could still be problematic.
It is recommended that residents give themselves more time to travel and keep abreast of local forecasts in case the recommendation changes.
