It’s a 9 First Warning Weather Alert Day as the next measurable snow system enters the Tri-State. We are here to help time out the snow and show how much accumulates by when and how much snow we get in total.
A winter weather advisory begins at 11 a.m. and continues through 7 a.m. Saturday.
TIMING:
- 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. – Snow is widespread and likely. Snow accumulates on roads, and slick spots are likely
- 8 p.m. to midnight – Snow goes from being steady to light and eventually tapers off
Today’s snowfall is slow and steady. This isn’t going to be a burst that happens all at once where accumulation happens quickly. “Slow” is the name of the game today.
The most widespread snow of the day will start arriving around 1pm and take over regionally by 3 p.m. From 3 p.m. to 11 p.m., snow is widespread and likely. It will be steady but not to a point where we are dealing with low visibility or high snowfall rates. All said and done, 2-4″ of snowfall is possible with reports of up to 5″ possible. I will say, that the early morning weather models that just came in pulled back a little on the snow expectations which is why I’m still including the potential of some locations seeing around 2″ of snowfall. I think the majority of the Tri-State ends up in that 3-4″ range all said and done.
This snow is not going to accumulate quickly. Here’s a breakdown of how much snow we should see at certain times:
- 3 p.m.: 0.5″ to 1″ in SE Indiana
- 5 p.m.: 1.0″ to 1.5″ snow
- 7 p.m.: 1.5″ to 2.5″ snow
- 11 p.m.: 2.0″ to 4.0″ snow
