The Southwest Ohio area is likely to get snow this weekend as wintry precipitation moves in.

The entire region is under a Winter Weather Advisory from 7 a.m. Saturday through 9 a.m. Sunday, issued by the National Weather Service in Wilmington, and could see 1-4 inches of snow with wind gusts as high as 35 miles per hour.

The NWS added that Darke County could see heavier snows of 3-5 inches.

The agency said residents should watch out for slippery roads, especially on bridges and overpasses that more quickly become slick and hazardous.

More wintry precipitation will be possible again on Monday night into Tuesday, the NWS said, which could bring additional snow.
