As winter keeps a firm grip on central Ohio, residents are bracing for a weekend marked by bitterly cold temperatures and possible snowfall. The frigid weather that began the week will persist, with temperatures expected to plunge into single digits and sub-zero wind chills forecasted for the area.
Starting Friday evening, the region will experience significant drops in temperature, prompting the issuance of 10TV Weather Impact Alert Days for the upcoming weekend. The cold snap will bring widespread wind chills that could plummet to between -5 and -15 degrees Fahrenheit, particularly on Friday night into early Saturday.
Although some relief may come Saturday afternoon, frigid sub-zero wind chills are predicted to return Sunday and Monday mornings. Residents are advised to prepare for prolonged periods of extreme cold during this time.
In addition to the cold, the weekend may also bring snowfall, with the highest chances occurring from Saturday evening into Sunday afternoon. While models indicate the possibility of a major winter storm, it’s still unclear how much snowfall central Ohio will actually receive. The forecast may evolve in the coming days, so residents are encouraged to stay tuned to 10TV for updates.
As the 10 Weather Impact Team closely monitors this arctic blast, it’s advisable for everyone to take precautions against the cold and stay informed about any changes in the weather pattern. Overall, while the conditions may be harsh, they serve as a reminder of the resilience and preparedness that the community can demonstrate in the face of inclement winter weather.
