How much snow is expected in central Ohio?

The 10 Weather Impact team has updated the snowfall forecast to bring some of the heavier snowfall further north. Once all is said and done by Monday morning, 8-14″ of snow appears likely for the Columbus metro and much of central Ohio. There is likely to be a few spots that overachieve from this system, and could land over the 14 inch mark!

Anticipate steady, heavier snowfall overnight and through Sunday.

This has the potential to be one of, if not the biggest, snowfalls we get this season. If we get over 12 inches of snow, this will be a top-five snow event for the Columbus region ever.


How cold will it be this weekend?

In addition to the snow, single-digit and even subzero temperatures are expected for the next week, potentially through the end of January. This drop in temperatures will again bring widespread and prolonged subzero wind chills to the whole region.

Wind chill values will likely be within the -10 to -20 range most of Monday morning and especially Tuesday morning. Sub-zero morning wind chills will remain likely for at least the next 7 days. Along with this, each of the next 7-days will remain under a Weather Impact Alert for the extreme cold.
