From Heavy Rain To Snow By Sunday

From heavy rain to snow by Sunday

Heavy showers continue through tonight before switching to snow early Sunday morning, with arctic air moving in

730. ALL RIGHT, TURNING TO OUR FORECAST. IT IS JUST GLOOMY. IT IS WET. IT IS JUST NOT A BEAUTIFUL DAY HERE IN GREATER CINCINNATI. NOW, WE HAD THE SUNSHINE FRIDAY, WHICH WAS, I GUESS, GOOD FOR ANY COUPLE TRYING TO GET OUT. BUT YEAH, TODAY, JUST GLOOMY DAY. AS YOU MENTIONED, IT’S BEEN GRAY ALL DAY, MISTING ALL DAY WHEN IT ISN’T HEAVY RAIN. AND NOW AS WE HEAD INTO TONIGHT, WE’RE KIND OF SEEING THESE SHIFTING CONDITIONS WHERE WE HAVE HEAVY RAIN AGAIN. BUT ALSO, AS I MENTIONED AT THE TOP OF THE SHOW, WE’RE ALL GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT A LITTLE BIT OF SNOWFALL IN THE FORECAST AS WE GO INTO THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEKEND. SO A LITTLE BIT OF WHIPLASH HERE AS WE CONTINUE THROUGH THIS FORECAST, GOING FROM KIND OF A COLD RAIN TO THEN JUST COLD, SNOWY. AND NEXT WEEK WE’RE TALKING ABOUT SOME ALMOST ARCTIC AIR COMING INTO OUR FORECAST. SO AS WE LOOK HERE ACROSS THE METRO INTO PARTS OF SOUTHEAST INDIANA, BROOKVILLE TO BUTLER COUNTY, ROSS, COLD RAIN DOWN TO CHEVIOT, CINCINNATI AREA STARTING TO SEE THAT MORE MODERATE STEADY RAINFALL THROUGH OUR AREA. THE HEAVIEST RAIN, THOUGH STILL TO OUR SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST THROUGH PARTS OF GEORGETOWN, BROWN COUNTY, OUT INTO PARTS OF ADAMS COUNTY. SO HEADING TOWARDS PEEBLES, JUST PAST WEST UNION, THERE AND BACK INTO MASON COUNTY. PARTS OF BRACKEN COUNTY GETTING TOWARDS BROOKSVILLE. THERE SOME MORE HEAVIER SHOWERS, SOME MORE CONSTANT HEAVY RAIN MAKING ITS WAY THROUGH NORTHERN KENTUCKY, THROUGH DRY RIDGE, PARTS OF PENDLETON COUNTY, OWEN COUNTY, GETTING INTO CARROLL, GALLATIN COUNTY, AND EVENTUALLY HEADING ITS WAY UP TOWARDS CRITTENDEN AND THEN BOONE, KENTON, CAMPBELL COUNTY, SWITZERLAND COUNTY ALSO GETTING IN ON THAT HEAVY RAIN. THIS IS JUST THE START OF THIS SECOND ROUND, THOUGH, BECAUSE AS YOU SEE THIS FRONT LIFTING INTO OUR AREA, WE’LL ACTUALLY SEE TEMPERATURES RISE JUST A FEW MORE DEGREES. BUT WE HAVE THIS FRONT TO OUR SOUTHWEST THAT BRINGS THAT CONTINUED RAINFALL INTO OUR AREA. AND EVENTUALLY ON THE BACKSIDE OF THIS SYSTEM, WE’RE GOING TO BE SEEING A BIG TIME COOLDOWN COMING OUR WAY. SO THAT FLOOD WATCH STILL IN EFFECT NOW THROUGH ABOUT 4:00 PM SUNDAY. THINK OF THIS AS THOSE CREEKS AND STREAMS, LOW LYING AREAS IS WHAT WE COULD SEE AS POTENTIAL FLOODING. THE OHIO RIVER. DEFINITELY A CONCERN. BUT LATER INTO NEXT WEEK, AS IT’S A LITTLE MORE SLOW TO RISE BECAUSE ALL THIS RAIN TAKES TIME TO GET TO THE OHIO RIVER. AND SO WE’LL BE TALKING ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT LATER AS WELL. ON SUNDAY, ALREADY A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY GOING INTO EFFECT FROM 7 A.M. TO 7 P.M. THROUGH MUCH OF GREATER CINCINNATI, NORTHERN KENTUCKY. NOW THERE ARE A FEW COUNTIES HIGHLAND, BROWN, PARTS OF MASON, BRACKEN COUNTY, ADAMS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT. YOU ALMOST COULD BE. DON’T LET YOUR GUARD DOWN JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE UNDER THE ADVISORY. MOST OF OUR AREA IS STILL GOING TO BE SEEING SNOW AS WE GO THROUGH THE DAY ON SUNDAY. SO LOOKING AT FUTURECAST HERE, WE’LL HAVE THOSE HEAVY SHOWERS CONTINUING THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT, MAYBE SOME RUMBLES OF THUNDER IN THERE AT TIMES AS WE GO INTO SUNDAY MORNING. IT STAYS. THIS RAIN INITIALLY, BUT AS WE HEAD TOWARDS ABOUT SIX 7:00 IN THE MORNING, YOU’LL START TO SEE THAT TRANSITION PRETTY QUICKLY FROM RAIN TO SNOW AND WHERE THAT TRANSITION HAPPENS IS LIKELY GOING TO BE OUR HEAVIEST SNOWFALL OF THE MORNING AS THAT MOVES THROUGH, CONTINUING THROUGH THE MORNING. AND THEN AS WE HEAD TOWARDS THE AFTERNOON, THE HEAVIEST SNOW IS OUT, BUT WE’LL STILL HAVE A FEW MODERATE BANDS OF DECENT SNOWFALL COMING THROUGH AS WE GET IN ON NORTHWEST WINDS, A LITTLE BIT OF MOISTURE FROM THE LAKES KIND OF HELPS ENHANCE A FEW OF THOSE SPOTTY SNOW SHOWERS. SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON AND THEN INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. BY MONDAY MORNING, ALL THAT SNOW IS OUT OF HERE. BUT THAT COLD AIR IS SETTLING IN. SO OVERALL, EXPECTING AROUND 1 TO 3IN, MAINLY NORTH OF THE OHIO RIVER. THE HEAVIEST AMOUNTS, MAYBE RIGHT ALONG THE I 71 CORRIDOR AREAS TO THE NORTH AND EAST, THE NORTH AND WEST RATHER. AND THEN AS WE LOOK TO THE SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST, THOSE SNOWFALL TOTALS BECOME A LITTLE BIT LESS. SO WE’LL HAVE THOSE 40S THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT. THAT’S THE MORNING TEMPERATURE WILL DROP THROUGH THE REST OF THE DAY INTO MONDAY WITH MID 20S THERE AS WE GO INTO NEXT WEEK. ANOTHER SNOW SYSTEM GOING TO BE SET TO MAKE ITS WAY IN BY THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. BUT THAT’S ALSO WHERE WE SEE THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF THE OHIO RIVER. SO RIGHT NOW IT’S SITTING ABOUT 38FT, JUST UNDER 39FT. BUT BY WEDNESDAY, IT’S EXPECTED TO RISE TO 52.5FT CREST AROUND THERE AS WE GO WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY AS THAT WINTER SYSTEM MOVES IN FOR NEXT WEEK. SO A L
