Winter storm on Sun/Mon remains complex with a wintry-mix expected to impact portions of srn OH / nrn KY. Sleet will slightly reduce snow totals in some of these locations, but just north of the wintry-mix, a heavier band of snow will form. Locally higher snow totals possible. pic.twitter.com/C5wwUlEri9

Forecasts for the winter storm continue to evolve with the latest forecast shifting south with the highest totals. Mixed precipitation remains a possibility, adding additional uncertainty. Given the uncertainty, the winter storm watch remains unchanged this afternoon. pic.twitter.com/RtBRcYpgrL

Some more southern counties, such as Butler and Warren counties, could see more of a wintry mix, which will cause less snow accumulation but more ice.
The agency urged drivers to slow down and use caution while traveling, and that they should expect slippery roads. It also said to be careful on the first few steps taken on stairs, sidewalks and driveways because those surfaces could be icy.
Snow is likely to start falling in the afternoon and continue through Sunday night, with breezy winds starting up around midnight.
Highs will be around 27 degrees on Sunday, dipping a little to around 22 degrees overnight.
On Monday, the NWS predicted snow will be likely in the morning, with a chance of snow in the afternoon that will come to an end that evening. Otherwise it will be mostly cloudy and breezy during the day, with the winds dying down overnight.
Highs will be around 29 degrees, and lows will be around 12 degrees.
