Thursday: Some slippery roads are expected to start the day. School delays already are reported, and cancellations also are possible. It will be chilly with temperatures starting in the 20s. A cold northwest wind will linger at 25 to 35 mph through the day. This could keep flurries or some snow showers off Lake Michigan around but it won't have a big affect, though. Highs only reach the low 30s. The wind chill will range from the single digits to teens throughout the day. A quick burst of snow may pass through the southern Miami Valley in the evening.

Friday: It will be mostly cloudy and cold again with highs in the lower 30s. A few additional snow showers south of Dayton are possible into the afternoon. Clouds break into the night and temperatures drop into the teens.

Saturday: After a chilly start in the upper teens, temperatures will rise to the low 30s.

Sunday: Expect a dry and cold morning, but temperatures will climb to the 40s during the day. Clouds increase and some rain showers arrive at night.

Monday: Rain showers are likely, along with breezy and mild conditions with highs in the middle 50s.
