A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for Athens, Ohio, until 8:00 AM EST Monday, January 20, 2025. Residents should anticipate additional light snow accumulations, leading to slippery road conditions and potential travel disruptions, particularly during the Monday morning commute. As temperatures drop tonight, the effectiveness of ice-melting agents will diminish, increasing the risk of a flash freeze on roadways. Following the snowfall, an Arctic air mass will settle over the region, bringing significantly colder temperatures through midweek. Wind chill values are expected to drop to dangerous levels, especially during nighttime and early morning hours. On Monday, wind chills could reach as low as -15°F, posing a risk for frostbite and hypothermia with prolonged exposure.
