More Snow As Rivers Rise

MORNING. LET’S GET OVER TO CHIEF METEOROLOGIST KEVIN ROBINSON. ALSO, HE CAUGHT MY ATTENTION WITH THIS IDEA OF SNOW BACK ON THE WAY TO RIGHT. YEAH, IT SURE IS. WE’VE GOT MORE SNOW ON THE WAY THIS WEEKEND. EVEN IF THE DETAILS AREN’T PERFECTLY IRONED OUT, SO TO SPEAK. WE’VE GOT IMPACTS COMING OUR WAY FROM MORE WINTRY WEATHER, SO DON’T LET YOUR GUARD DOWN JUST YET. I HAVE RELATIVELY LOW IMPACTS. TOMORROW I’LL EXPLAIN WHY I EVEN PUT THAT THERE. AND YOU’LL SEE HERE IN JUST A MOMENT. BUT THE TWO DAYS I’M REALLY EYEING IN ON ARE WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY FOR US HERE IN THE TRI STATE, PROBABLY MORE SO WEDNESDAY THAN ANY OTHER DAY THIS WEEK. WE’LL HAVE AN IMPACT FROM SNOW AROUND HERE. SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IS ALREADY IN A PLACE SOUTH OF THE 7175 SPLIT FROM MAYSVILLE TO WALTON TO V.V. THIS IS BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE WE ARE CERTAIN THAT THERE WILL BE IMPACTS FROM SNOW OF AT LEAST A RELATIVELY SIGNIFICANT LEVEL HERE. THIS ALSO BASICALLY COINCIDES WITH WHERE WE THINK THE MOST SNOW WILL FALL OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. NOT TO SAY THAT THAT ADVISORY COULDN’T BE EXPANDED NORTH, BECAUSE I CERTAINLY THINK IT’S A BETTER THAN NOT CHANCE. WE’LL SEE THAT END UP HAPPENING. ALL RIGHT. WHERE’S THE SNOW TONIGHT? IT’S OUT HERE IN ILLINOIS, IN PARTS OF MISSOURI. THE SYSTEM IS TRYING, AS YOU SEE, TRYING TO NOSE IN OUR DIRECTION. BUT IT’S FIGHTING A LOT OF DRY AIR. AND THAT’S GOING TO BE ITS INITIAL STRUGGLE. I DO THINK TOMORROW MORNING THERE IS THE POTENTIAL SOUTHWEST OF CINCINNATI FOR AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT OF FLURRY ACTION AND OR MAYBE EVEN A BRIEF PERIOD OF LIGHT SNOW, VERY COLD OUTSIDE. NOW TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE TEENS, SO ANYTHING THAT DOES MANAGE TO FALL OBVIOUSLY WILL HAVE NO PROBLEM STICKING THIS WEEK WITH TEMPERATURES AS COLD AS THEY ARE. SO HERE’S KIND OF YOUR OFFICIAL SNOWFALL FORECAST. AND THIS IS TUESDAY TO WEDNESDAY. BUT TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, WE’VE GOT A SNOW THREAT STARTING TOMORROW GOING THROUGH THURSDAY. SO RIGHT NOW 1 TO 3 IN THE SOUTH, THAT’S WHERE THE CURRENT ADVISORY IS PLACED. AND I HAVE KIND OF A ZONE OF A LITTLE BIT OF UNCERTAINTY AS YOU REACH THE OHIO RIVER ON EITHER SIDE. THIS IS A DECENT RANGE, ANYWHERE FROM A DUSTING UPWARDS OF TWO INCHES. I THINK MOST OF US AT LEAST SEE AN INCH HERE. SHOULD THIS STORM SHIFT TRACK JUST A LITTLE BIT, EVEN IF IT NUDGES JUST A LITTLE BIT NORTH, WE’LL EASILY GET UP TO TWO, BECAUSE THAT’S THE TYPE OF SYSTEM WE’RE DEALING WITH. AND THEN THE FARTHER NORTH YOU ARE, YOU’VE GOT MUCH LOWER AMOUNTS BECAUSE THE AIR IS SO COLD THIS WEEK, IT WON’T TAKE MUCH MOISTURE TO SQUEEZE OUT A FLUFFY COUPLE OF INCHES OF SNOW. SO YOU CAN SEE HERE INITIALLY YOU SAW THAT BLUE, RIGHT? EVEN INTO THE MORNING TOMORROW YOU SEE HOW WE KIND OF GOT THIS LITTLE AREA OF SNOW ZIPPING TO OUR SOUTH. THAT’S ALSO WHERE THE ADVISORY IS IN PLACE FOR TOMORROW TOO. OTHERWISE MOST OF THE DAY IS QUIET FOR US. BUT WATCH WHAT HAPPENS TOMORROW NIGHT. SNOW BEGINS TO EXPAND ACROSS THE AREA, RIGHT? AND THE HEAVIEST SNOW WILL BE IN THE SOUTH. BUT I CERTAINLY THINK WEDNESDAY MORNING’S COMMUTE COULD BE A LITTLE TRICKY FOR US. SO HERE WE ARE, DOWNTOWN 19, OFFICIALLY HERE IN CINCINNATI. FEELS LIKE IT’S 12. QUICK UPDATE ON THE OHIO RIVER. CURRENTLY GETTING AWFULLY CLOSE TO FLOOD STAGE AT 52FT. EXPECTED TO CREST ABOUT 54FT. THAT’S IN THE MINOR RANGE FOR THOSE OF US WHO LIVE AROUND HERE. YOU KNOW THAT THE OHIO RIVER NEEDS TO GET ABOUT 56FT TO BEGIN TO GET INTO SOME REAL ISSUES OUT THERE. IT NEEDS TO GET INTO MODERATE FLOOD RIGHT NOW, THESE ARE THE USUAL SUSPECT AREAS. WATER IS GOING TO ENCROACH ON AT THE MOMENT. HERE’S A LOOK AT A COLD NIGHT AS WE GET OUR WAY DOWN. OH, ABOUT 16 FOR AN OVERNIGHT LOW. SO FRIGID TONIGHT. THE CHANCE FOR SOME FLURRIES OR SNOW SHOWERS, ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTH TOMORROW. SO HEADS UP. KEEP THAT IN MIND IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE TRAVELING OR KNOW SOMEONE HEADED IN THAT DIRECTION. OTHERWISE, MOSTLY CLOUDY AND JUST A REALLY COLD FEBRUARY DAY. WE SHOULD BE IN THE LOW 40S. WE’RE GOING TO STRUGGLE TO BE IN THE 20 TO 25 DEGREE RANGE. SO THERE’S YOUR IMPACT DAYS WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY WITH THE BETTER SNOW CHANCES AND MIKE AND CHARI, WE’RE BELOW FREEZING AT LEAST UNTIL THE WEEKEND. ALL RIGHT KEVIN, THANKS SO MUCH. THE DEAL IS FIN

Expect another accumulating snow mid-week as the Ohio River crest.
