Tracking Freezing Rain Then Overnight Thunderstorms

Impact day: Tracking freezing rain then overnight thunderstorms

ATTEND THE SUPER BOWL. ALL RIGHT, TURNING TO OUR WEATHER NOW, WE’VE BEEN KIND OF TALKING ABOUT SOME OF THE MESSY CONDITIONS OUT THERE, SOME OF THE PROBLEMS IT’S CAUSING FOR THE COMMUTE THIS EVENING. YEAH. FORTUNATELY, THE GROUND ITSELF IS JUST WET, BUT THAT IN ITSELF IS CREATING ENOUGH ISSUES OUT THERE. BUT WE ARE SEEING SOME LIGHT GLAZING OCCURRING UP IN TREES AND POWER LINES, AND I CAN SHOW YOU A PHOTO OF THAT HERE IN JUST A MOMENT. BUT THERE’S THE MAGICAL NUMBER WE’RE KEEPING AN EYE ON 32 DEGREES OFFICIALLY AT CVG. AND OF COURSE, THAT’S IN NORTHERN KENTUCKY. SO THE FARTHER NORTH YOU WORK YOUR WAY OF THE OHIO RIVER, IT’S PROBABLY A DEGREE OR TWO COOLER. AND THE END RESULT IS SOMETHING LIKE THIS. THIS WAS TAKEN IN MASON. THANKS A LOT TO SHERRY FOR SENDING THIS IN. YOU CAN SEE THE LIGHT GLAZE DEVELOPING SMALL ICICLES THERE DEVELOPING ON SOME TREES. I’VE HAD NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS, ESPECIALLY FROM THE OHIO RIVER NORTH. EVEN WITHIN THE 275 LOOP. I’VE HAD SOME REPORTS, BUT THAT’S WHERE THE ICE IS PRIMARILY GOING TO BE. UNLESS YOU GET INTO OUR FAR NORTHERN COMMUNITIES. AS YOU GO FARTHER NORTH UP INTO BUTLER, WARREN, CLINTON COUNTIES, INTO SOUTHEAST INDIANA, YOU START TO GET CLOSER TO I-70. I THINK THAT’S WHERE YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE TO REALLY WATCH THE BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES. FOR THE MOST PART, WE’RE LOOKING OUT BECAUSE WE WERE 70 THE OTHER DAY. WE HAD THE SUN. SO EVEN THOUGH IT’S CHILLY OUT THERE, THE GROUND STILL HAS AMBIENT WARMTH. I MEAN, IT’S NOT SUPER COLD. WE’RE RIGHT AT FREEZING. SO THAT’S KIND OF THE SAVING GRACE. BUT THAT SAID, USE EXTRA CAUTION AS YOU HEAD FURTHER NORTH THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS BECAUSE I’VE BEEN NOTICING EVEN WITHIN THE 275 LOOP, WE’VE BEEN SEEING AN INCREASE IN THIS PINK SHADING, WHICH BASICALLY REPRESENTS FREEZING RAIN. SO THAT LETS ME KNOW THAT TEMPERATURES AREN’T MOVING, AT LEAST NOT YET. SAME STORY, UP 71. IN A WARREN, CLINTON COUNTIES, WILMINGTON, MARTINSVILLE, NEW VIENNA, BACK TOWARDS HILLSBORO. IT’S FREEZING RAIN. YOU CAN SEE FROM MONROE AND WEST CHESTER TO HAMILTON. I’VE SEEN PHOTOS. OXFORD. I’VE SEEN PHOTOS THERE. I’VE SEEN SOME OF THE HEAVIEST ICING OUT HERE IN SOUTHEAST INDIANA, OUT TOWARDS BROOKVILLE LAKE, WHERE I’VE EVEN SEEN A DECK COMPLETELY COVERED IN ICE. BUT IT’S IN THESE AREAS THE FARTHER NORTH YOU GO OF THE RIVER, WHERE YOU’RE MORE THAN LIKELY TO RUN INTO AT LEAST THE CHANCE FOR SOME TRICKIER TRAVEL. NOW NOTICE HOW YOU’RE STARTING TO SEE SOME PINK FILL IN TO NEAR THE RIVER AND INTO NORTHERN KENTUCKY, AND THAT’S ENTIRELY POSSIBLE, AS THERE COULD EVEN BE A LIGHT GLAZE AND ELEVATED SURFACES. I THINK AS FAR SOUTH AS THE 7175 SPLIT BRIEFLY HERE THIS EVENING. SOMETHING ELSE TO MENTION. THERE’S EVEN A LITTLE BIT OF THUNDER THROWING IN THERE. WE HAD A FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER EARLIER. NOW HERE’S TEMPERATURES THAT ARE HOVERING RIGHT AT FREEZING. WILMINGTON AT 31, CONNERSVILLE AT 31. A LITTLE BIT COLDER THERE. AND THAT’S WHY YOU FOLKS WILL BE THE LAST TO ACTUALLY GET OUT OF ANY ICING CONCERNS. AND THAT’S PRIMARILY WHERE THE ICING CONCERNS ARE NOW. ANYTHING IN RED REPRESENTS WHERE THERE COULD BE SLICK TRAVEL AROUND THE 275 LOOP. IT’S ALL WET, OKAY. BUT YOU GET INTO OUR NORTHERN REACHES AND THAT’S WHERE YOU’RE STARTING TO SEE THE POTENTIAL FOR AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT OF SLICK TRAVEL, PRIMARILY ON THE BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES. SO THAT’S OUR CONCERN THROUGH THE EVENING. SO WE’VE GOT HIGH IMPACT NOW, I THINK HIGH IMPACT OVERNIGHT. BY THURSDAY MORNING THE RAIN IS OUT OF HERE AND TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE 50S, OR AT LEAST CLIMBING INTO THE 50S. SO THROUGH THE EVENING THERE’S YOUR FREEZING RAIN. BY 10 OR 11, MOST OF US WILL BE PLAIN OLD RAIN, SO IT’S NOT REALLY A CONCERN OVERNIGHT. THERE’S STILL TWO. COULD BE A FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER OVERNIGHT, ESPECIALLY SOUTHEAST OF CINCINNATI. BUT NOTICE BY 3:04 A.M. THE BULK OF THE RAIN IS GONE. I HAVE US DRYING OUT THROUGH THE MORNING COMMUTE TOMORROW, BUT IT’S STILL GOING TO BE A CLOUDY DAY OVERALL, SO RIGHT NOW, OFFICIALLY AT 32 HERE IN CINCINNATI WITH AN EAST WIND AT TEN, THAT DEW POINT IS STILL AT 30. SO THAT MEANS WE’RE COLD ENOUGH TO STILL GET A GLAZE ON ELEVATED SURFACES AND OBJECTS. AND THAT’S WHERE WE’LL BE THROUGH ABOUT 10 OR 11:00 BEFORE TEMPERATURES CLIMB OVERNIGHT. SO WE’VE GOT FREEZING RAIN TO RAIN, MAYBE SOME THUNDER. TEMPERATURES WILL RISE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS 53 FOR A HIGH TOMORROW. THE RAIN SHOULD BE OVER BY THE TIME YOU WAKE UP. CLOUDY AND A BREEZY DAY. HERE’S A LOOK AT YOUR DAY PLANNER. FINGERS CROSSED. COULD HAVE SOME GLIMPSES AT THE SUN AS WE GET INTO THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. HERE’S YOUR SEVEN DAY FORECAST SO WE GET A REPRIEVE ON FRIDAY FROM ACTIVE WEATHER. THEN WE GET A SIMILAR TYPE STORM SYSTEM IN HERE EARLY SATURDAY, WHERE WE COULD HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A WINTRY MIX THAT GOES OVER TO RAIN WITH TEMPERATURES BACK IN THE 50S. THEN TEMPERATURES FALL ON SUNDAY. AND OF COURSE, CHRIS AND ASHLEY, WE’VE BEEN TEASING THIS NOW FOR A WHILE. I THINK WE’RE BACK INTO WINTER AS IT KIND OF TAKES OVER NEXT WEEK AT SOME POINT. I THINK THERE’S A BETTER THAN NOT CHANCE. WE HAVE AN ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL SOMEWHERE IN THERE, MAYBE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. SOUNDS MORE LIKE
