Our first true blast of winter will be hitting the area throughout the afternoon and evening hours Thursday. While areas from Ross County and to the north are expected to see around an half inch of snow during the day, those counties to our south are forecast to get a bit more snow. Pike and Jackson Counties are under Winter Weather Advisories, with Scioto, Lawrence, and Gallia Counties under Winter Storm Warnings. The front is expected to clear out by tomorrow, with sunny skies and temperatures in the 20's.
