Winter weather advisory: 2-3 inches of snow arrives into Saturday

Snow is falling steadily today with 2 to 3 inches of accumulation expected before an Arctic blast returns this weekend ahead of a warming trend next week.

A winter weather advisory is in effect through 1 a.m. Saturday for Greene, Miami, Montgomery and Warren counties, issued by the National Weather Service in Wilmington, due to snowfall.

Periods of light snow will continue into Saturday before tapering off. Elevated winds may lead to isolated blowing snow. Some roads in the area that were previously cleared could develop slick spots through the evening.
