Weather: Will it snow this week in Greater Cincinnati? Check precipitation chances here

A strong low-pressure system will move through the Ohio Valley region Monday night through Wednesday, bringing unsettled weather and high winds to the area, per the National Weather Service in Wilmington.

Highs will range from the mid-30s north to the lower 40s south on Monday.

Southern areas will see rain on Tuesday. Northern locations, especially along and north of I-70, will see a brief period of snow mixed with a bit of sleet before changing to all rain by Tuesday morning. The NWS predicts an inch or less of accumulation in these locations.

With road temperatures near or just above freezing, impacts should be minimized. But some reduced visibilities may occur.

Rain will be ongoing for much of the day on Tuesday. Highs will peak in the mid-40s northwest to the lower 50s south. Rain showers will mix with snow showers overnight. Only minor accumulations of less than an inch on elevated surfaces are expected.

Winds may gust to around 45 mph Tuesday night into Wednesday and Friday night into Saturday.

There will be only a slight chance of rain and snow on Thursday. The next round of widespread precipitation will occur on Friday, with the next chance of snow returning Friday night into Saturday.

Temperatures will stay above normal during this period, with highs ranging from the upper 30s northwest to the upper 40s south.

Colder air will move through the area this weekend, with highs in the 20s and 30s on Saturday and Sunday. Winds around 20 mph Sunday morning will combine with the cold temps, resulting in below-zero wind chills in some locations.
