The National Weather Service in Wilmington says a widespread winter storm could drop less than an inch of ice and freezing rain across central Ohio.

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for all of the region starting Wednesday night through Thursday morning. Freezing rain is expected across the region with some accumulation of ice expected overnight until temperatures rise above freezing on Thursday morning.

Freezing rain and ice accumulation is expected to continue into the morning hours Thursday, leading to potential issues with the morning commute. The National Weather Service’s forecast for tomorrow calls for highs to eventually climb into the low 40s with precipitation changing back to rain and helping to melt any ice accumulation.

A powerful ice storm is set to affect the Midwest and Northeast of the U.S., bringing treacherous conditions, including freezing rain, sleet and potential power outages. Meteorologists warn that travel disruptions and hazardous road conditions will be widespread from Wednesday into Thursday.
