BREAKING WEATHER NEWS: WINTER STORM WATCH EXPANDED

4:45 AM CVG 14° F, Wind Chill 6° F (as of the 4 AM observation)

WINTER STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE ENTIRE CINCINNATI AREA, NOW EXPANDED TO INCLUDE I-70 CORRIDOR FROM LATE TONIGHT TO LATE MONDAY NIGHT


The models came into even BETTER agreement late in the evening last night and the NWS has expanded the Winter Storm Watch.

All indications put the Tri-State area in a really good (or bad, depending on how you see it) spot for 5-8" of snow at LEAST with isolated higher totals if an area sits under a heavy band of snow for a period of time, and now expand the possibility northward to include folks along I-70.

Folks... this one will be a paralyzing storm for some areas. Normally you need a foot or more, but with the last three storms each dropping 4-8" across our area... we've already got over a foot on the ground some places! I am sounding the alarm here... most if not ALL schools will be closed, some roads will become out and out impassable, and level 3 snow emergencies will be more widespread. (In the last storm, Franklin and Ripley counties in southeast Indiana each declared level 3 snow emergencies at one point.)
