MD 0126 CONCERNING WINTER MIXED PRECIPITATION FOR EASTERN INDIANA...CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN OHIO...AND NORTHERN KENTUCKY. Mesoscale Discussion 0126 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0529 AM CST Mon Mar 02 2026 Areas affected...Eastern Indiana...central and southern Ohio...and northern Kentucky. Concerning...Winter mixed precipitation Valid 021129Z - 021400Z SUMMARY...Moderate snow and light to moderate freezing rain/sleet will continue this morning. DISCUSSION...Moderate isentropic ascent ahead of a weak mid-level shortwave trough has resulted in a broad region of light to moderate precipitation within the Ohio Valley. On the northern extent of this precipitation shield, some frontogenetical banding (centered around 700mb) has resulted in moderate snow across portions of eastern Indiana into central Ohio. South of this snow band, warmer temperatures aloft have resulted in a combination of sleet and freezing rain. The wet-bulb zero line is centered near I-64 this morning and will likely delineate the area to the south with mostly rain and the area to the north which could see some ice accretion (up to 0.05 inches per hour) for a few hours this morning. This combination of moderate snow across central Ohio and mixed precipitation across southeast Indiana, southern Ohio, and northern Kentucky will continue through mid morning, before temperatures warm above freezing and it changes to all rain across most of the region by late morning. ..Bentley.. 03/02/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
