A fast-moving clipper system will bring quick bursts of snow to the Greater Cincinnati area on Friday, February 6th, with 1 to 2 inches of accumulation expected. The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for the region, with the snow expected to fall in bands at rates of up to an inch per hour during the heavier bursts.

Why it matters

The additional snowfall will add to the already accumulating snow piles in the region, which has seen several winter storms this season. The snow and cold temperatures may also impact travel and outdoor activities in the area.

The details

The larger Wilmington forecast region will see 1 to 3 inches of snow, with the higher amounts occurring northeast of Cincinnati. After the snow tapers off in the afternoon, an arctic cold front will move in, with winds picking up. A few additional snow showers are possible behind the cold front, and temperatures will drop into the single digits overnight with below zero wind chills.
