Special Weather Statement issued December 3 at 1:05PM EST by NWS Wilmington OH (details ...)
Light snow is expected to develop across the area after midnight, shifting to the southeast through the predawn hours. This band of light snow will affect the region by the Thursday morning commute, eventually pushing south of the area by mid- morning. Minor snow accumulations of less than an inch are expected, but cold ground conditions will allow for quick accumulation on any untreated surfaces. The main impacts are expected to be reduced visibilities and some slick spots on untreated surfaces. Motorists should exercise caution. Plan extra time for the Thursday morning commute.
A tree crashed into a home, displacing occupants, and three barn-like structures were destroyed during storms that passed through the area early Saturday morning.
The heads of local emergency management agencies, though, said they had no reports of injuries. They also indicated no tornadoes had been confirmed in either Mercer County or Auglaize County. [More]
