Accumulating snow arrives today in Cincinnati
Accumulating snow moves in this afternoon. Travel is expected to become very icy.
MORNING IS THE TIME TO DO IT. OH MOST DEFINITELY. WE’RE VERY THANKFUL FOR THE LARGE WINDOW OF TIME THIS MORNING BEFORE THE SNOW COMES IN. I THINK BY NOON WE’RE SEEING SOME SNOW SHOWERS, MAYBE EVEN SOME SNOW SHOWERS IN THE REGION AS EARLY AS TEN. BUT THAT REALLY HIGH IMPACT ACCUMULATION NOT OCCURRING UNTIL AFTER THE MIDDAY. HERE’S A LIVE LOOK AT KINGS ISLAND RIGHT NOW WHERE WINTERFEST IS NOT GOING TO BE HAPPENING TOMORROW DUE TO THE FRIGID COLD THAT’S GOING TO BE COMING INTO THE AREA. SO BE AWARE OF THAT. IF YOU’RE MAKING YOUR PLANS THIS WEEKEND, WE’LL TAKE YOU OUT TO OUR REGIONAL MAP HERE, WHERE WE’VE GOT A COLD FRONT COMING THROUGH RIGHT NOW, BEHIND THIS FRONT IS THE ARCTIC AIR THAT’S GOING TO BE SETTLING IN AS WE GO THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS. AND THIS IS OUR SNOW THAT WE’RE WATCHING HERE AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE NEXT SIX. TEMPERATURES RIGHT NOW ARE AT 32. BUT YOU SEE ALL THOSE PINKS ON THE MAP HERE. IT’S ALREADY 13 IN CHICAGO, 19 IN BLOOMINGTON. TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO GET EVEN COLDER THAN THAT HERE AS THE SNOW ROLLS ON IN AND CONTINUES TO PULL THAT COLD AIR DOWN WITH IT. SO WE’VE GOT A WINTER STORM WARNING IN PLACE FOR THE WLWT VIEWING AREA STARTING AT 1:00 TODAY. ANYONE IN PURPLE HERE? FAYETTE AND UNION COUNTY AND PLACES SOUTH OF 7175 SPLIT UNDER A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY. SO I THINK WE’RE FINDING THE PINKS ON THE MAP. THAT’S WHERE THAT HEAVY CORRIDOR OF SNOW IS GOING TO BE TODAY. TODAY’S FUTURECAST SHOWING SOME SNOW SHOWERS STARTING TO OUR WEST AS EARLY AS TEN, BUT I THINK NOTICE HERE BY NOON TODAY, MORE WIDESPREAD STEADY SNOW IN PLACE. SO THIS IS GOING TO OVERTAKE THE AREA PRETTY QUICKLY. AND IT’S NOT GOING TO TAKE LONG FOR ROADS TO BECOME MESSY. SO ANYTIME AFTER 12 WE’RE LOOKING AT ROADS TO VERY QUICKLY DETERIORATE. SO BY TWO THREE, 4:00 TODAY YOU CAN SEE SOME REALLY HEAVY BANDS OF SNOW FALLING. I THINK BECOMING MORE LIKE SNOW SHOWERS FOR MANY AREAS, ESPECIALLY BACK TO THE WEST AS YOU HEAD BETWEEN 6 AND 9. BUT WE’RE STILL SEEING SOME PRETTY STEADY SNOW UP TO THE NORTH. AND THEN BY EIGHT NINE MIDNIGHT TONIGHT, A LOT OF THE SNOW COMING TO AN END, AND WE ARE GOING TO BE LEFT WITH SOME BRUTALLY COLD TEMPERATURES AS WE HEAD THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING. SO YOUR SATURDAY SNOWFALL, I THINK FROM NOON TODAY THROUGH ABOUT MIDNIGHT TONIGHT, WE’RE PICKING UP 4 TO 6 PLUS INCHES IN THIS DARK BLUE BAND HERE. THAT PLUS INDICATING THAT WE COULD SEE SOME VERY ISOLATED TOTALS AS HIGH AS SIX AND A HALF, MAYBE EVEN SEVEN. SO WATCHING FOR SOME MORE SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL HERE. AND THEN FURTHER SOUTH, THE 71, 75 SPLIT, YOU’RE GOING TO BE IN THAT 2 TO 4 INCH RANGE. I THINK EVEN SOUTHERN OWEN COUNTY, IN THAT 1 TO 2 INCH RANGE FOR SNOWFALL. SO DEFINITELY LOOKING AT A HEAVIER BAND OF SNOW FROM GREATER CINCINNATI AND AREAS NORTH. AND THEN ROAD IMPACTS AGAIN PRETTY BAD AS WE HEAD TOWARDS THIS AFTERNOON AND THROUGH TONIGHT, I THINK CERTAINLY THE WORST BY TONIGHT, AS EVERYTHING’S PRETTY MUCH SNOW COVERED. WE’RE GETTING INTO THE DEEPEST ACCUMULATION. AND THEN THROUGH SUNDAY THOSE COLD TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO GET TO THE POINT WHERE THE PRETREATMENT JUST REALLY DOES NOT HELP ANYMORE. SO WE’RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT LINGERING ICE AND SNOW ON THE ROADS TOMORROW. AND THAT DOES MEAN SOME HAZARDOUS DRIVING. SO AGAIN, COLD AIR TAKING PLACE TONIGHT AT COLD WEATHER ADVISORY STARTING AT 7:00. AND THAT LASTS THROUGH 11:00 IN THE MORNING ON MONDAY AS WE GET INTO WIDESPREAD OPPORTUNITIES FOR WIND CHILLS BETWEEN MINUS TEN AND -15, IT’S GOING TO BE ABSOLUTELY BITTER IF YOU’RE OUTSIDE AT ALL HERE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. SO YOUR SATURDAY AGAIN, CLOUDY AND DRY TO START. I THINK. WARMEST TEMPERATURES. IF YOU EVEN WANT TO SAY THAT IT’S GOING TO BE THIS MORNING. AND THEN THOSE TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO TUMBLE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. BY THIS EVENING WE’RE SEEING 24 TO 23, 4 TO 6 PLUS INCHES OF SNOW, HAZARDOUS TRAVEL AND TEMPERATURES KEEP DROPPING FROM THERE. THREE DEGREES ABOVE ZERO BY SUNDAY MORNING. SO BENGALS TAILGATES ABSOLUTELY FRIGID. I THINK WE’RE LOOKING AT ABOUT FIVE DEGREES WITH WIND CHILLS OF MINUS TEN KICKOFF TEMPERATURES, NOT EVEN IN THE DOUBLE DIGITS WITH A WIND CHILL OF MINUS FIVE. SO ALL OF THE LAYERS ARE GOING TO BE NECESSARY. CERTAINLY. BRING THE HAND WARMERS, MAYBE EVEN THE FEET WARMERS FOR YOUR BOOTS. AND THEN MONDAY BUS STOP COULD BE AS COLD AS -15 IN THE MORNING. ACTUAL AIR TEMPERATURE OF MINUS ONE. SO AFTER SCHOOL 22 IF A LOT OF SCHOOLS EVEN IN SESSION ON MONDAY, WE WILL GET BACK ABOVE FREEZING. ACTUALLY, TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE IN THE 5
