DAYTON — Good Sunday evening, everyone! Meteorologist Nick Dunn here with you as we have snow showers in store tonight into Monday! Some of you have seen those first snowflakes already this afternoon, but not much is sticking yet. That changes overnight as temperatures fall!
Radar shows snow showers to our northwest in Indiana and Michigan as of 5:00 PM. This will swing southeast tonight and last into your Monday morning. Snow will generally be light to moderate in intensity, but with temperatures below freezing it will start to stick.
Road conditions will likely stay just wet for a few hours tonight. By late tonight into Monday morning we will potentially see a few slick spots on elevated surfaces like bridges and overpasses. We do not expect substantial travel issues, but adding a couple extra minutes would be a good idea just in case!
