Are you ready for winter? Central Ohio will see a mix of weather conditions over the next few days as temperatures drop, winds pick up, and the first signs of snow appear.

Wednesday night, temperatures will plummet into the mid-30s for the city and upper 20s in rural parts. Thursday we will begin to see a wintry mix. Warm ground temps will limit the snow buildup as most flakes will melt on contact. Drivers should still be cautious, as slick spots can develop.

Friday, we can prepare for more rain than snow. Temperatures will gradually rebound heading into the weekend, bringing some calm. Drier conditions are expected just in time for the Buckeyes game on Saturday!
