Our big weather focus will be the possibility for freezing rain and icy roads here in the Tri-State. Tuesday is a 9 FIRST WARNING WEATHER ALERT DAY.
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for many of our counties now through noon Tuesday:
OHIO: Butler, Clermont, Clinton, Hamilton and Warren.
INDIANA: Dearborn, Fayette, Franklin, Ohio, Ripley, and Union
KENTUCKY: Boone, Campbell, and Kenton
Light rain will start to move into our western locations tonight, as soon as midnight, certainly by 1 a.m. Because it's been so cold, the ground and pavement is still below freezing and it should stay that way overnight and through the Tuesday morning drive.
Any rain that comes down should freeze on untreated surfaces. This could create some very slick roadways, especially north of the Ohio River, for the the morning commute. Expect delays and likely traffic issues in spots. Again, treated roads will be in better shape. But driveways, sidewalks, rural roads, anything without salt down will turn icy.
Pavement temperatures will eventually rise above freezing later in the morning or into the early afternoon. We will still see some slick spots the rest of the day as rain will be in and out. In fact, get ready for a soggy stretch through the middle of the week.
Tuesday's high temperature will be into the upper 30s and then the forecast shifts to a mild, wet pattern. We'll warm to the upper 50s on Thursday before getting colder again into the weekend and next week.
