A winter weather advisory is in effect for much of Central Ohio Tuesday evening, as the area braces for sleet, freezing rain and some snow showers.
The roads may have icy patches and sidewalks will become slippery. Travelers will find more snow showers the farther west they go and conditions improve if you’re traveling east.
From Storm Team 4 meteorologists:
TONIGHT: freezing rain and snow showers, ice accumulations of 1/4"-1/2", low 34.
WEDNESDAY: rain/snow mix early in the morning, changing to rain, much warmer, high 49.
THURSDAY: early-morning rain/snow mix ending, partly cloudy in the afternoon, high 40.

Overnight, as the temperatures fall, some of the rain and freezing rain will change to rain/snow mix and a few embedded snow showers. The freezing rain is the biggest issue because it will create another glaze of ice on roads, driveways and sidewalks. A warm front moves into the state on Wednesday and all the frozen precip changes to rain, the temps jump into the upper-40's and everything melts. Some downpours may drop .75" or even a full inch of rain during the day.
Some rain/snow mix is likely as a cold front plows through the region Wednesday night. Not expecting any accumulation of snow… so a White Christmas isn't very likely. Besides, any snow that does fall will melt quickly as Christmas Day temps rise to around 40.
