Central Ohio Braces for Up to Two Inches of Snow as Weather Impact Alert Day Begins

Updated (2 articles)

Snow totals expected between half and two inches tonight Forecasters project most of central Ohio will receive 0.5‑1.5 inches of snow, with isolated bursts potentially pushing accumulations toward the two‑inch maximum [1]. The system is expected to wrap up late tonight, just before New Year’s celebrations. Wind chills will dip into the teens, creating slippery roads and reduced visibility.

Travel alerts focus on OSU game and New Year’s Eve plans The 10TV Weather Impact Team issued a Weather Impact Alert Day to warn fans traveling to the Ohio State football game and attendees of New Year’s Eve events [1][2]. Viewers are urged to monitor real‑time radar via the 10TV+ app and consider delaying trips. Officials stress that the alert aims to minimize disruptions and keep the public safe.

Temperatures remain in the 20s with breezy winds Highs will stay in the low‑20s on Thursday and Friday, then gradually rise over the weekend [1][2]. Breezy conditions will produce wind chills in the teens, extending wintry feel even after snowfall ends. A wintry mix could return by next Sunday as temperatures begin to climb.

Discrepancy in snowfall range between forecasts The Dec. 31 report projected 1‑3 inches of accumulation [2], while the Jan. 1 update narrowed expected totals to 0.5‑1.5 inches with a two‑inch ceiling [1]. Both agree on the potential for localized higher bursts, but differ on the overall expected range.
