2:00 PM - CVG 38º, Wind Chill 32º, Partly Cloudy
It was an interesting morning across Greater Cincinnati, as snow fell and our temperatures took a nosedive. We're nearly 20º COLDER than where we were yesterday.
The evening hours will be cold, but the skies should remain clear as the temperature plummets to the upper 20s. I can't rule out 25º in spots north of town that had 2" of snowfall, close to Dayton.
Tomorrow looks MUCH better as the highs will soar into the lower 60s under partly cloudy skies. Clouds will increase late in the day.
By Sunday it looks rather wet, and we can't rule out flash flooding... currently Flash Flood Guidance is 2" in a 12 hour period - if you get under heavier thunderstorms that is certainly a possibility. However, the storm is anticipated to move fairly quick - so the flood threat is rather low.
After that, an extended period of dry weather looks to settle in and our temperatures will respond, moving from 50s on Sunday to 70s possibly by Thursday.
SATURDAY TEMPERATURES IN OTHER CITIES: Cleveland: 50º, Toledo: 50º, Columbus: 57º, Dayton: 59º, Indianapolis: 61º, Louisville: 63º, Lexington: 64º. Most areas partly cloudy.

Rain Tonight, Dry but Cloudy Tuesday
5:00 PM CVG: 43º, Cloudy - Light Rain being reported at other locations
It has been a cold, drippy day across the Cincinnati Tri-State area, and we never made it out of the 40s today under the clouds and rain.
Rain looks to continue, albeit scattered, off and on all night. If you're headed out this evening take the jacket, an umbrella and maybe a hat with you as we'll start to drop into the 30s this evening and bottom near 36º.
Tomorrow, it looks like we finally shove the rain out of here but the clouds will hang tough in the morning. We'll make it to 55º though as the clouds push away in the afternoon and we could break into some sun.
The rest of the workweek looks fairly average as far as temperatures go in March, but rain showers look to return Thursday and Friday.
Have a great Tuesday,
J. Moses
FORECAST FOR TUESDAY IN OTHER LOCATIONS: Indianapolis - Clearing, 60º; Columbus - Mostly Cloudy but slow clearing late, 55º, Dayton - Mostly Cloudy, 54º, Louisville - Clearing, 61º, Lexington - Clearing, 58º, Cleveland - Morning Rain Showers, then Cloudy, 47º

Warm, then Cold, then Warm again
4:50 PM CVG - 66º, Mostly Cloudy (as of the 4 PM observation)
The warm weather sticks around for just one more day, although it will turn wet as the day goes on Sunday. Highs will be around 65º.
Monday looks downright raw and rainy, and if you're headed out to Joseph-Beth to see Duane "Dog the Bounty Hunter" Chapman and get a book signed, take the jacket as temps will only reach 49 or so during the daytime, then fall through the 40s by 10 PM.
Tuesday however looks a lot better as we'll be near 60º again.
SUNDAY FORECAST FOR OTHER LOCATIONS: Cleveland near 50º, Indianapolis 58º, Louisville 61º, Lexington 63º - Rain just about everywhere as the day goes on at some point... for Cleveland I can't rule out a snowflake mixing in Sunday night with no accumulations, but most locales should stay all rain.

Warming Up!
7:30 AM - CVG 26° Wind Chill 18°
Sunshine will be the rule of the day as the warmup continues and so does the snow melt from the snowiest February in Cincinnati history.
There will be even more sunshine over the next few days. Friday we head for 45° and Saturday looks like we make a run closer to 50°.
Sunday looks good also, although there's a slim chance we get a rain shower as we get into the 50's.
Even Monday looks really good, and I think we could make a run at...dare I say... 60°??? Yes it is possible with southerly winds ahead of the next storm system. This storm looks like it'll be just a rain maker, not snow, which is good news for those of us tired of the snow.
Have a great Thursday!

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.)

WINTER WEATHER ALERT: Snow Still On Track Tomorrow-Monday Night
4:10 PM CVG 27, Partly Cloudy
WINTER STORM WATCH ISSUED BY NWS WILMINGTON, OH FOR ALL AREAS SOUTH OF A LINE FROM BROOKVILLE, IN TO WILMINGTON TO LOGAN, OHIO FROM SUNDAY EVENING TO LATE MONDAY NIGHT
The snow is still on track to hit the Cincinnati Tri-State beginning late Sunday afternoon and continuing all the way into Monday evening. Models finally have come into decent agreement, and almost all paint a 4-8" swath somewhere between the river and I-64, with less either side of that.
A 50-75 mile movement north or south could mean the difference between 4-8" and 2-4" or less... so keep it here for the latest.
WINTER WEATHER ALERT: Snow Possible Tomorrow Night/Monday
4:30 AM Saturday Morning - CVG 18° F, Light Snow Reported
Fog could be an issue across areas west of I-75 this morning. I am monitoring this situation extremely closely.
Yes, that's right... we're looking at yet ANOTHER winter storm in the Ohio Valley, with yet MORE snow accumulations.
Here's the setup: A small, compact low will organize west and southwest of Cincinnati tomorrow, down near Paducah, with a warm front across central Kentucky. The low is forecast to take a track across Kentucky on Sunday night into Monday. The models are differing as to how far north or south this will be... as a direct result differing on amount of liquid forecast, and as a result of this, we do not know how much snow will fall - and won't until Sunday morning.
The warm front may possibly be enough to bring at least a dusting of snowfall in the latter half of Sunday afternoon, but the main event is forecast to unfold Sunday night through Monday as the low takes its track across Kentucky, passing south of Cincinnati, somewhere within 40 miles of Lexington.
Due to the cold air at the upper levels... it will not take much moist air to produce significant snowfall across portions of Kentucky, far southern Ohio and extreme southeast Indiana. The Quantitative Precipitation Forecast (or QPF) on at least one model indicated anywhere from a quarter to a half of an inch. Temperatures are forecast to be in the 20s through the event. The result will be a snow-to-liquid ratio of 15 inches snow to 1 inch liquid. With these ratios at .25"-.5" liquid QPF... expect anywhere around 4-7" of snow.
Folks...I cannot emphasize enough that this situation is very fluid as of the time of this post (4:20 AM Saturday). We do not know exactly where this low will track... so we do not know where the axis of heaviest snowfall will be. If you are anywhere between the Ohio River and Interstate 64 in the northern half of Kentucky, however... we can reasonably and confidently say there WILL be snowfall and it COULD be significant (4" or more)! Stay tuned, as I will update you on this VERY fluid weather situation. Updates will be between 2-4 PM Saturday, 2-4 AM Sunday morning and again between 2-3 PM Sunday afternoon, or as needed depending on what the models indicate.
