Heavy Rain, Flooding, Then Snow

GREAT THING TO BE ABLE TO SIT IN FRONT OF THE TV AND WATCH THIS WEEKEND. YEAH. YOU KNOW, AND WE’VE BEEN SEEING THE ADVERTISEMENTS FOR IT. IT’S GOING TO BE A BIG EVENT. I DON’T KNOW, THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY WAS A HUGE DEAL TEN YEARS AGO. AND THEN THEY’RE DOING THIS ONE FOR THE 50TH. SHOULD BE A PRETTY BIG DEAL. AND I THINK THE WEATHER MIGHT SUIT US STAYING IN AND JUST WATCHING SOME TELEVISION. THIS WEATHER THIS WEEKEND. ONE WORD. IT’S COUCH WEATHER. IT IS TV WEATHER. IT IS DOORDASH WEATHER. IT’S I DON’T WANT TO GO OUTSIDE TYPE WEATHER. THAT’S A FREE MARKETING PIECE FOR DOORDASH THERE. BUT EITHER WAY, HERE YOU ARE. IT IS GOING TO BE A GREAT WEEKEND TO SPEND TIME INDOORS BECAUSE WE’VE GOT HIGH WATER ISSUES INTO OUR SATURDAY SUNDAY, AND HONESTLY, PROBABLY BEYOND THAT FOR FOLKS WHO LIVE NEAR RIVERS, CREEKS AND STREAMS, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. AND THEN IT LOOKS LIKE SNOW ON SUNDAY. AND WE’VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT A PATTERN CHANGE, THIS BIG STORM TOMORROW. BASICALLY INITIATES THE NEXT PHASE OF US TRANSITIONING INTO A MUCH MORE HARSH WINTER PATTERN FOR NEXT WEEK. LET’S START NOW THOUGH. SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY FLOOD WATCH UP FOR ABOUT TWO THIRDS OF THE TRI-STATE. BASICALLY, EVERYONE SOUTH OF 71. AND THAT’S BECAUSE WE’VE GOT A LOT OF RAIN COMING OUR WAY. MOST OF US WILL WIND UP WITH ABOUT TWO TO ON THE HIGH END, MAYBE THREE INCHES OF RAINFALL, AND THEN EVEN MORE AS YOU HEAD SOUTH OF THE TRI-STATE DOWN INTO KENTUCKY, WHERE SOME FOLKS COULD PICK UP 4 OR 5 PLUS INCHES. ONCE YOU GET DOWN PAST LOUISVILLE AND LEXINGTON A LITTLE LESS AS YOU HEAD NORTHWEST OF 71, LET ME WALK YOU RIGHT THROUGH FUTURECAST. AT LEAST YOU HAVE THIS EVENING TO ENJOY QUIET WEATHER. NO PROBLEMS. IF YOU’VE GOT PLANS TONIGHT, EVEN IF YOU’RE OUT LATE, I DON’T THINK THERE’S MUCH OF AN ISSUE. IT WILL BE AFTER 3 OR 4 A.M. BEFORE WE BEGIN TO SEE A LITTLE RAIN. NOW AT ONSET, IT COULD BE COLD ENOUGH FOR A VERY BRIEF PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN BEFORE YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING. THAT’S WHY YOU SEE THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY. OR YOU HAVE MAYBE SEEN THAT NOTIFICATION IN OUR FAR NORTH THAT INCLUDES FAYETTE UNION COUNTIES. NO ONE ELSE IN THE AREA. BUT BY THE TIME YOU WAKE UP SATURDAY MORNING, IT’S RAINING FOR MOST OF US NOW. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT INITIALLY THE RAIN IS LIGHT AND IT WILL PROBABLY EVEN TAPER OFF LATE MORNING EARLY AFTERNOON. BUT TOMORROW NIGHT, THOUGH, IS A DIFFERENT STORY. THE RAIN COMES BACK WITH A VENGEANCE. IT’S NOT THAT I’M THINKING THUNDERSTORMS AND THUNDER AND LIGHTNING. IT IS JUST GOING TO BE A SOAKING, STEADY MODERATE TO OCCASIONALLY AT TIMES HEAVY RAINFALL AND CHILLY CONDITIONS. JUST LOUSY WEATHER. THIS IS 9:00 TOMORROW EVENING AND IT KEEPS GOING THROUGH MIDNIGHT. IT WILL PROBABLY BE 3 OR 4 A.M. BEFORE THE RAIN TAPERS OFF. AND THEN REMEMBER I MENTIONED SNOW ON SUNDAY. THERE’S STILL A SIGNAL THAT WE COULD GET A LIGHT ACCUMULATION OF SNOW AFTER THE SUN COMES UP ON SUNDAY. AS THIS SYSTEM DEPARTS AND WE’LL DEAL WITH FLURRIES AND SNOW SHOWERS THROUGH THE REST OF THE DAY. ON SUNDAY AS WE UNLEASH SOME BITTERLY COLD AIR. HERE’S A LOOK AT THE WEATHER SYSTEM. TONIGHT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE MUCH, BUT IT’S GOING TO GET ITS ACT TOGETHER PRETTY QUICKLY. SO AS I MENTIONED, NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT THIS EVENING. EVEN AS CLOUDS ARE ROLLING IN, TEMPERATURES ARE CHILLY. WE’RE IN THE LOW TO MID 30S RIGHT NOW. WE’RE GOING TO HOVER RIGHT AROUND 30 MOST OF THE NIGHT TONIGHT BECAUSE OF THE CLOUDS OUT THERE, YOU CAN ALREADY SEE THEM ROLLING IN. SO OFFICIALLY AT 33 HERE IN CINCINNATI. HERE’S YOUR 12 HOUR FORECAST. YOU KNOW, HOVERING NEAR FREEZING THE FIRST PART OF THE NIGHT, TEMPERATURES WILL ACTUALLY BEGIN TO CLIMB SOME TOWARDS MORNING. SO 31 TONIGHT WITH RAIN LATE MOVING IN. AND THEN TOMORROW 51. BUT WE WON’T GET TO 51 UNTIL LATE TOMORROW EVENING. A GOOD PART OF THE DAY IS CHILLY IN THE 40S, BUT INTERESTING AS TEMPERATURES WARM. THAT’S WHEN THE RAIN BECOMES THE HEAVIEST TOO. TOMORROW EVENING AND NIGHT. ALL RIGHT, HERE’S YOUR SEVEN DAY FORECAST. 47. THAT’S AT MIDNIGHT ON SUNDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE MUCH COLDER DURING THE DAY. IN FACT, LOOK AT THIS. BY SUNDAY NIGHT WE’RE DOWN INTO THE TEENS AND WE’LL PROBABLY HAVE WIND CHILLS CLOSE TO ZERO BY SUNDAY NIGHT. SO THIS IS A REAL ROLLER COASTER RIDE. AND THEN NEXT WEEK, JUST REALLY EVEN FOR FEBRUARY STANDARDS. THIS IS COLD. WE’RE TALKING HIGHS IN THE TEENS AND 20S, LOWS POSSIBLY IN THE SINGLE DIGITS. AND I’M STILL EYEING THE LIKELIHOOD OF MAYBE AT LEAST ONE
