Some Snow Early Friday

DIDN’T HE TURN INTO A NICE GUY? YEAH. YOU KNOW, REMEMBER, ONCE HIS HEART GOT A LITTLE BIGGER, RIGHT? YOU NEED TO REWATCH IT. THE GOOD GRINCH AT THE END. THOSE TWO LITTLE KIDS WERE SO CUTE, BY THE WAY. THEY WERE. OUR PHOTOGRAPHER WAS ASKING IF THEY DANCE, AND THE LITTLE BOY WHO COULDN’T BE MORE THAN ABOUT SEVEN SAID, OH NO, YOU KNOW, HE’S TOO OLD TO DANCE. BUT HIS LITTLE SISTER WAS HAPPY TO DO IT. ALL RIGHT. WELL, WHETHER YOU’RE MAYBE TRAVELING TOMORROW OR YOU STILL HAVE TO GO INTO WORK, YOU’RE GOING TO SEE A LITTLE BIT OF WINTRY MIX WHEN YOU WALK OUT THE DOOR IN THE MORNING. IT’S REALLY THE FIRST PART OF THE DAY IN WHICH WE’LL HAVE THAT RAIN, SNOW MIX. AND I THINK EVEN MORE NARROW OF A WINDOW WHERE SNOW COULD HAVE AN IMPACT IN TERMS OF TRAVELING. SO ON YOUR FRIDAY MORNING, YOU HEAD OUT THE DOOR. RAIN. SNOW MIX MOVES IN DURING THE MORNING COMMUTE. TEMPERATURES WILL BE RIGHT AT OR ABOVE FREEZING. THE GROUND IS WARM, SO THOSE TWO THINGS LEAN IN OUR FAVOR. THE DOWNSIDE IS THAT I DO THINK THERE WILL BE A NARROW WINDOW WHERE THE INGREDIENTS OVERLAP AS SUCH, AND IF YOU THINK BACK TO OUR EARLY SEASON SNOWFALL, THE FIRST OF THE SEASON, IN FACT, WHERE WE WERE GENERALLY ABOVE FREEZING. BUT IF YOU CAN GET IT TO SNOW HEAVILY ENOUGH FOR, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE WHILE, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO OVERCOME THE WARMER GROUND. AND I THINK THAT’S WHAT WE’RE FACING AGAIN TOMORROW MORNING. SO MOST OF US ARE DUSTING, BUT THERE WILL BE AN AXIS WHERE I THINK THERE COULD BE ABOUT AN INCH OR SO OF SNOW. THERE, PRIMARILY ON GRASSY AREAS. BUT IN THIS CORRIDOR I’LL HIGHLIGHT IT IN JUST A MOMENT. I THINK YOU MAY GET A SLUSHY ACCUMULATION BRIEFLY, EVEN OUTSIDE OF THE GRASSY AREAS, MEANING THAT OVERPASSES ELEVATED ROADWAYS COULD BRIEFLY GET A LITTLE SLUSH ON THEM. SO TONIGHT, HERE’S THE CLIPPER SYSTEM. YOU CAN SEE IT STARTING TO DIVE ITS WAY SOUTH TOWARDS THE OHIO RIVER. NOW, THE MAIN THRUST OF SIGNIFICANT IMPACTFUL SNOW WILL STAY WELL NORTH UP THERE TOWARDS DETROIT AND CHICAGO. NOTICE OUR TEMPERATURES ARE ABOVE FREEZING HERE NOW. ONCE THE RAIN AND SNOW MOVES IN, OUR TEMPERATURES WILL DROP TO PROBABLY 3332 DEGREES. SO WE’LL BE RIGHT AT THE POINT WHERE YOU CAN START TO GET A LITTLE ACCUMULATION IN TERMS OF TEMPERATURES. AND IF IT’S COMING DOWN HEAVY ENOUGH, YOU CAN OVERCOME THAT WARM GROUND. SO HERE WE ARE BETWEEN ABOUT FIVE AND SEVEN I THINK WE WATCH RAIN AND SNOW SPREAD ACROSS THE TRI-STATE. HERE WE ARE AT 8 A.M., PROBABLY STARTS AS A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN, A FEW DROPS OF RAIN, AND THEN QUICKLY GOES OVER TO SNOW. FOR MOST OF US. SEE THIS AREA HERE IN DARKER BLUE. I WANT YOU TO KEEP AN EYE ON THIS PIVOT. I’M GOING TO PUT THIS INTO MOTION AGAIN AND WATCH HOW THIS JUST KIND OF PIVOTS IN OUR NORTHERN COMMUNITIES. SO WHAT I’VE DONE, I’VE CIRCLED THIS HATCHED AREA WHERE I THINK THE GREATEST OPPORTUNITY TO SEE ANY PROBLEMS IN TERMS OF ACCUMULATION OUTSIDE OF GRASSY AREAS, MEANING YOUR BRIDGES, OVERPASSES, ELEVATED ROADWAYS, AND THAT’S BASICALLY NORTH OF A DIAGONAL NORTH OF 74 IN INDIANA AND THEN KIND OF NORTH OF THE OHIO RIVER, MORE SPECIFICALLY JUST OUTSIDE THE 275 LOOP. SO THAT DOES INCLUDE BUTLER WARREN CLINTON, PARTS OF CLERMONT NORTHERN HAMILTON COUNTIES, FOR EXAMPLE, INTO HIGHLAND COUNTIES AS WELL. THIS IS WHERE YOU WOULD MOST LIKELY FIND WHERE HEAVIER SNOWFALL RATES WOULD OVERCOME THE WARMER TEMPERATURES. BRIEFLY, TO GIVE YOU A SLUSHY INCH OR SO. OTHERWISE, IT’S RAIN SHOWERS AND KIND OF MIST AND DRIZZLE THROUGH THE EVENING, AND IT’S JUST KIND OF A YUCKY DAY TO CLOSE OUT. SO WE’RE AT 36 RIGHT NOW. WE’VE GOT OURSELVES A LITTLE BIT OF A SOUTHWEST WIND. HERE’S YOUR 12 HOUR FORECAST. YOU CAN SEE HOW WE DROP CLOSE TO FREEZING ONCE THAT MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW MOVES IN YOUR CHRISTMAS OUTLOOK. STILL EXPECTING IT TO BE WARM ENOUGH TO BE PLAIN OLD RAIN. IN FACT, IT LOOKS PRETTY DREARY. CHRISTMAS EVE AND CHRISTMAS DAY. NOT TO SAY THAT IT’S RAINING THE ENTIRE TIME, BUT IT’S JUST GOING TO BE KIND OF GLOOMY. AND HERE’S THAT WORD AGAIN. KIND OF YUCKY. OUT FOR CHRISTMAS 32 TONIGHT, 36 TOMORROW. A LITTLE DRIER IN THE AFTERNOON WITH SOME COLD BREEZES. IT WILL BE CHILLY IF YOU TRY TO SNEAK SOME SHOPPING IN TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND EVENING, ESPECIALLY WITH THE WIND. HERE’S A LOOK AT YOUR SEVEN DAY FORECAST. SO THIS CLIPPER SYSTEM RAIN MIX BRINGS IN FREEZING COLD TEMPERATURES FOR THE WEEKEND. SO YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE TO BUNDLE UP AS YOU RUN THOSE LAST MINUTE CHRISTMAS ERRANDS AND SHOPPING AROUND HERE. BUT THEN WE QUICKLY WARM UP GOING INTO NEXT WEEK, WE’RE BACK INTO THE 40S. AND THAT’S WHY ANYTHING WE SEE OVER THE CHRISTMAS EVE, CHRISTMAS DAY HOLIDAY WIL

A brief slushy accumulation should be expected for some early Friday.
