Tonight, we’ll see the increasing clouds leading to a wintry mix for Wednesday. Winds will be light, so it will feel cold but not bitter but morning as the temperatures rise overnight into the morning. No precipitation is expected tonight, making for quiet winter weather.
A warm front is first to swing through the area, so we I’ll see some light snow early in the morning and a slick spot or two are possible. However, as the temperatures rise, a wintry mix sets up midday and changes over to rain for leftover precipitation in the afternoon.
On Thursday, expect a mix of clouds and occasional sunshine. High temperatures will reach the mid-30s, which is close to normal for this time of year. Thursday night will once again be cold, with lows in the low to mid-20s. Friday will look similar, but feel different as arctic cold air will once again sweep into the Tri-State, but this time lasting for 6 or 7 days. These conditions are calm ahead of a potential change later in the weekend.
Attention turns to the weekend, as a developing winter storm could impact the Ohio Valley. Some forecast models suggest snow may arrive late Saturday or Saturday night and continue into Sunday. If this storm develops as currently projected, Cincinnati could see significant accumulating snow along with colder air and gusty winds.
However, it is important to understand that this snowstorm is not a certainty. Winter storms are difficult to predict several days in advance. Small changes in the storm’s track could make a big difference in snowfall amounts. Some compute models do show the Tri-State getting nothing. Because of these uncertainties, forecasts will likely change over the next few days. Residents should stay informed, monitor updates, and be prepared for changing conditions. While snow is possible this weekend, confidence in exact impacts remains low at this time.
