Dry for now, more snow on the way

Columbus, Ohio (WSYX) – We’re getting a brief break from the winter rain to start the work week. Apart from the cold temperatures, there are no problems with the commute to work or school. The next snow system will arrive sometime later Monday evening and continue into Tuesday morning. Models don’t agree on total snow, but it seems 2-3″ is possible.

Areas in the northwest will see less, and areas in the southeast will see more. Most of it falls early Tuesday morning, and roads will be smooth. The temperature will be ten degrees below average and the maximum temperature will be slightly above zero, so snow will stick around.

• Tonight: Partly cloudy, calm, low 24.
• Monday: Mostly cloudy, snow possible late, high near 35.
• Tuesday: 2-3 inches of snow accumulation, high 34.
• Wednesday: Partly cloudy, maximum temperature will be 34.
• Thursday: Partly cloudy, slight chance of snow, high 32.
• Friday: Partly cloudy, more snowfall likely, maximum temperature 32.
• Saturday: Mostly cloudy, snow possible, high 35.
• Sunday: Cloudy, still cold, high 33.

More snowfall is possible in the extended forecast. We will take it system by system. A few drops of snow may fall on Thursday and more snowfall on Friday. Some snowfall is also possible over the weekend.
