.SYNOPSIS...
Widespread snowfall comes to an end around daybreak today, but
travel impacts likely persist into the mid morning. The next chance
for snow arrives on Wednesday night with a cold front. Cold and dry
conditions arrive until precipitation chance develop once again this
weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
The snow is quickly coming to an end this morning from W to E, with
the last of the bands expected to progress through ern zones of
central/south-central OH and NE KY by 8 AM. Widespread 3-5" has been
observed (most of it coming within a 6 hour time frame), with
isolated higher amounts in parts of east-central IN into west-
central OH.

difficult road conditions for many spots in the local area, will
maintain the Winter Weather Advisory until the expiration time at 10
AM to continue awareness of challenging travel conditions.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
High pressure progresses through the Ohio Valley Tuesday night
through Wednesday. Cold and dry conditions persist. Southwesterly
winds do help highs get above freezing along and southeast of I-71.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
A cold front drops through the Ohio Valley on Wednesday night. A
chance for snow exists along the front. Currently, medium range
ensemble guidance does not support much of a chance for accumulating
snow since forcing and moisture remains weak. However, snow ratios
could end up being fairly high so impacts to Thursday morning
commute could be possible. Cold and dry conditions arrive behind the
front when high pressure move across the Ohio Valley Thursday
through Friday. Notably, forecast lows on Thursday night drop into
the single digits for locations north of the Ohio River.

The forecast gets a bit less precise by the weekend. Below average
temperatures are likely to persist, but it is not clear if chances
for precipitation develop or not.

&&

The snow will be coming to an end quickly for the start of the TAF
period, with only a brief period of lingering SN (and VSBY
reductions) at KCMH/KLCK. VSBY should by VFR area-wide, with IFR
CIGs improving to MVFR into early afternoon. MVFR CIGs should persist
through the entirety of the TAF period for most spots, but some
scattering out may occur toward 12z Wednesday for wrn sites of
KDAY/KCVG/KLUK.
