Friday was the warmest day we have seen this month/year but that is short lived because we have a major drop in temperatures on the way.
Rain has wrapped up and now the chill begins. Temperatures are falling and will continue to do so as we move through the overnight tonight. Winds are from the north at 5 to 15 mph and will continue to driving in colder air. Along with the cold comes some snow.
A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for a portion of the Tri-State starting tonight at 1 a.m. and lasting until 1 p.m. on Sunday. That includes the following counties:
Kentucky: Bracken, Carroll, Gallatin, Grant, Mason Owen, Pendleton, & Robertson
Ohio: Adams & Brown
9 FIRST WARNING: A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for a portion of the Tri-State starting tonight at 1 a.m. and lasting until 1 p.m. on Sunday. These areas could see anywhere from 1 to 2 inches of snow.#WCPO #Cincywx pic.twitter.com/AEsOhOkbDu

These areas could see anywhere from 1 to 2 inches of snow as a wave of snow comes in from the southwest. This could lead to some issues on the roads early on Sunday.
That snow starts tonight for most areas as our temperatures begin to plummet. Our low tonight will only be 23°, but add the wind and our chills will be between 5° to 15° tonight.
Snow showers linger into Sunday morning, specifically in southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky. While most areas don't get much accumulation, it's not out of the question to get a few quick bursts to give you a dusting to a half inch.

Temperatures on Sunday will be very chilly, with a high of 25°, but the wind chill stays at 10° to 15° with a northwest wind at 15 to 20 mph. This is our first day of a long stretch of brutally cold weather.
REMINDER: We are in an Extreme Cold Watch from 1 AM Monday until Wednesday at 10 AM. Wind Chills over that stretch may be between -20° and -10°. @wcpo#WCPO #Cincywx pic.twitter.com/edK7sznlFu

Monday is the start of the extreme cold, and it will be brutal. The entire Tri-State has been placed in an Extreme Cold Watch which is in effect for Monday at 1 a.m. through Wednesday at 10 a.m. This calls for the potential of wind chills of -20° to -10°.
Monday is the start of our extremely cold stretch. Wind chills of -20° to -10° are possible! These conditions will lead to frost bite in 15 to 30 minutes if not properly covered up#WCPO #Cincywx pic.twitter.com/xcBoDDK7X9
