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.

A farmer plows a field earlier this week just off state Route 119 near St. Henry. Mercer County farmers have sown a small amount of corn and a smaller amount of soybeans, said Chris Gibbs, executive director of the Mercer County Farm Service Agency. Recent wet conditions have slowed planting but farmers are still "right on schedule" and many are likely to take advantage of today's sunny conditions, he added. Local weatherman Dennis Howick predicts a high of 82 degrees Friday with scattered showers developing. Rain is forecast for Saturday through Monday, Howick said.
