YOUNGSTOWN

There could be a couple of inches of snow today in portions of the Mahoning Valley.

The snow will start in the afternoon and isn’t expected to stop until early Thursday, said Eric Wilhelm, chief meteorologist for 21 WFMJ-TV, The Vindicator’s broadcast partner.

It rained Tuesday with freezing rain falling for most of the afternoon. It made driving somewhat treacherous in the area.

The high temperature today should be close to 35 degrees but will drop Thursday.

The high for Thursday is in the midteens with a low likely dropping below zero overnight, Wilhelm said.

On Friday, the high is expected to reach 23 and dip into the upper teens at night, he said.

There’s a chance of snow Saturday with a high in the mid-30s. The high Sunday is expected to also be in the mid-30s, but it should be partly sunny, Wilhelm said.
