NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0529 AM CST Mon Mar 02 2026

Areas affected...Eastern Indiana...central and southern Ohio...and
northern Kentucky.

Concerning...Winter mixed precipitation

Valid 021129Z - 021400Z

SUMMARY...Moderate snow and light to moderate freezing rain/sleet
will continue this morning.

DISCUSSION...Moderate isentropic ascent ahead of a weak mid-level
shortwave trough has resulted in a broad region of light to moderate
precipitation within the Ohio Valley. On the northern extent of this
precipitation shield, some frontogenetical banding (centered around
700mb) has resulted in moderate snow across portions of eastern
Indiana into central Ohio. South of this snow band, warmer
temperatures aloft have resulted in a combination of sleet and
freezing rain. The wet-bulb zero line is centered near I-64 this
morning and will likely delineate the area to the south with mostly
rain and the area to the north which could see some ice accretion
(up to 0.05 inches per hour) for a few hours this morning.

This combination of moderate snow across central Ohio and mixed
precipitation across southeast Indiana, southern Ohio, and northern
Kentucky will continue through mid morning, before temperatures warm
above freezing and it changes to all rain across most of the region
by late morning.
