Rain showers are set for today with mostly cloudy skies, breezy conditions and a high of 50 degrees, according to the National Weather Service in Wilmington.

Overnight, it’ll be cloudy with lows falling around 35 degrees.

A Winter Weather Advisory will be in effect from 10 a.m. Monday to 1 a.m. Tuesday for Darke, Miami, Champaign, Clark, Preble, Montgomery, Greene, Hamilton, Butler and Warren counties.

Scattered to numerous snow showers will lead to snowfall accumulations Monday through Monday night of a half inch to locally up to around two inches, according to the NWS.

Snow squalls are brief, bursts of snow with gusty winds which may also be possible, according to the NWS. Roadways and other surfaces may be briefly covered with snow. Reduced visibility from snow showers and gusty winds are possible as well.

Highs will be in the mid-30s during the day with lows in the lower 20s overnight. Wind gusts of 35 to 40 mph will also be possible Monday into Monday evening.

Falling temperatures will allow for the potential for slick road conditions, especially after dark Monday evening. The NWS said the highest concern of weather is after sunset with continuing snow showers, breezy winds and dropping temps leading to the potential for slick or icy roads and visibility restrictions.

Despite the isolated snow showers Monday night, it also will be mostly cloudy, blustery and very cold. The snow will taper off by Tuesday morning.

Tuesday brings sunshine and cold temperatures, followed by an equally cold night with mostly clear skies. Highs will be near 35 degrees, while Tuesday night will dip into the lower to mid-20s.

Mild temperatures come back on Wednesday with a high of 43 degrees and mostly sunny skies.

Wednesday night will be mostly cloudy with a low of 28 degrees.
