Snow Threat Returns Wednesday

PATROL CARS AROUND THE WAY. -- ALONG THE WAY. SHEREE: A NASTY NIGHT LAST NIGHT AND EVEN THIS MORNING FOR SO MANY OF YOU WHO HAD TO DRIVE INTO WORK THIS MORNING BUT THINGS LOOKING MUCH BETTER TONIGHT. MIKE: LET’S BRING IN KEVIN ROBINSON P HE GETS A BREATHER TONIGHT AND THEN IT IS BACK IN ACTION WITH MORE SNOW TOMORROW. KEVIN: HOPEFULLY SNOW STAYS RELATIVELY LIGHT. COMPARED TO WHAT WE DEALT WITH LAST NIGHT AND EARLIER TODAY, IT WILL BE MUCH LIGHTER. RADAR TONIGHT IS QUIET OUTSIDE. RIGHT NOW, LOOKS MORE LIKE A NUISANCE TYPE SNOWFALL FOR US WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY AROUND HERE. THIS WILL BE A LONGER EVENT BUT THAT DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN IT’S GOING TO BE A BIGGER EVENT. I THINK WE HAVE LIGHT SNOW TOMORROW AND MAYBE MIXING WITH A LITTLE SLEET, MAYBE SOME FREEZING RAIN. LIGHT FREEZING RAIN, VERY LIGHT ACROSS PARTS OF NORTHERN KENTUCKY BUT I BELIEVE WE ARE DODGING A BULLET BECAUSE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PARTS OF KENTUCKY COULD BE UP FOR A SIGNIFICANT ICE STORM. BY THE TIME ALL THE SUDDEN DONE -- SAID AND DONE, MAYBE ANOTHER INCH OR TWO OF SNOW. IT LOOKS FAIRLY MINOR. WE WILL KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON IT IN CASE THERE ARE ANY ADDITIONAL SURPRISES. WHEN YOU’RE DEALING WITH ARCTIC AIR OF THIS MAGNITUDE, RIGHT ON OUR DOORSTEP, WE ARE STOP IN AN ACTIVE AND STORMY WEATHER TRACK SO WE ARE TRADING OFF THE BITTER COLD FOR STORMY WEATHER CONDITIONS. LOOK AT THE MAP. TONIGHT, WE HAVE A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FOR AREAS NEAR SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER. I THINK THIS IS GOING TO CHANGE SOME. THIS ADVISORY COULD BE EXPANDED FARTHER NORTH. WE WILL SEE HOW THE WEATHER SERVICE IS INTO THE MORNING AND THERE COULD BE AN EXPANSION OR MAYBE EVEN SOME AREAS TO THE SOUTH. WE WILL SEE HOW THAT PLAYS OUT. LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH FUTURECAST. THIS IS WHAT I AM SEEING HERE. A COUPLE OF CHANGES TONIGHT. WE WILL SEE SOME LIGHT SNOW MOVED IN HERE MUCH FASTER. MAYBE TOMORROW MORNING. THE EMPHASIS IS ON LIGHT AND EVEN VERY LIGHT BECAUSE I DON’T THINK IT’S GOING TO BE A HUGE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE BELOW FREEZING. TOMORROW MORNING, WE START WITH LIGHT SNOW THAT MOVES IN. NOTICE THE PINK ON HERE. THIS IS WHERE THERE COULD BE SLEET MIXING IN AND THAT IS SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER. WE WILL KEEP THAT GOING THROUGH THE DAY AND THEN PROBABLY GETTING INTO TOMORROW EVENING, THAT IS WHEN WE MAY BEGIN TO SEE THE MORE SUBSTANTIAL LIGHT SNOW BEGAN TO BECOME A LITTLE STEADIER AND MORE WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE AREA SO IN CASE YOU’RE WONDERING ABOUT ROAD CONDITIONS, BASICALLY, I THINK OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AND INTO TOMORROW MORNING, WE WILL JUST WANT TO WATCH FOR SLICK SPOTS FOR ANY SNOW THAT IS MELTED, RESULTED IN RUNNING WATER THAT IS NOW RE-FROZE. YOU WANT TO LOOK FOR AREAS OF BLACK ICE THEN TOMORROW NIGHT -- WHILE MAYBE NOT WIDESPREAD, WE CAN HAVE PATCHY SNOW COVERED AREAS AND ROADS ACROSS THE REGION SO HERE’S A LOOK AT THE WEATHER MAP. COLD AIR IN PLACE ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY BUT IT’S AN INTERESTING WEATHER SE UP. I OFTEN TIMES SAY THINK OF THE ATMOSPHERE LIKE A HAMBURGER. WE ARE ON THE BOTTOM, AND THEN IN THE MIDDLE, THERE IS WARMER AIR MOVING UP ABOVE OUR HEADS. THAT IS WHAT IS GOING TO HELP SQUEEZE OUT ADDITIONAL LIGHT SNOW TOMORROW AND/OR MAYBE A FREEZING DRIZZLE, FREEZING RAIN TO OUR SOUTH. HERE’S A LOOK AT TEMPERATURES TONIGHT. RIGHT HERE IN CINCINNATI, 24 DEGREES. WE HAVE OURSELVES A NORTH WIND AT THE MOMENT AT AROUND NINE. VERY DRY. HERE WE ARE, TEMPERATURES RANGING FROM ANYWHERE IN THE UPPER 20’ AROUND MAYSVILLE TO MID 20’S IN AND AROUND THE METRO AND THEN YOU DROP INTO THE LOW 20’S CLOSER TO THE UPPER TEENS UP IN PARTS OF SOUTHEAST INDIANA AND NORTHERN PARTS OF BUTLER COUNTY. OXFORD AT 21. THE GOOD NEWS IS WE KEEP CLOUDS IN PLACE SO WITH THE DEEP SNOW PACK ON THE GROUND, TEMPERATURES WILL GET AS COLD AS IT COULD. TONIGHT, 20 FOR AN OVERNIGHT LOW. YOU WILL HAVE TO LOOK OUT FOR ANY PATCHY AREAS OF BLACK ICE THROUGH THE NIGHT TONIGHT AND OF COURSE, THE SIDE STREETS THE MESSY. TOMORROW, CLOUDY AND COLD WITH SNOW MOVING IN AND A LITTLE BIT OF A MIXED TO THE SOUTH. I SHOULD HAVE REMOVED THAT BECAUSE SOME OF THAT SNOW, ALBEIT VERY LIGHT, SHOULD STA UP PROBABLY EARLIER IN THE DAY TOMORROW SO WE COULD HAVE A FLAKE OR TWO FLYING AT ANY POINT HERE THROUGHOUT THE DAY PLANNER. HERE IS A LOOK AT YOUR SEVEN-DAY FORECAST. GOING TO GO AHEAD AND LEAVE TOMORROW AS A WEATHER IMPACT DAY AND THURSDAY SIMPLY BECAUSE, IF NOTHING ELSE, WE WILL GET HUGE ACCUMULATIONS BUT EVEN AN INCH OR TWO OF SNOW ADDITIONAL WILL PROVE PROBLEMATIC. FRIDAY LOOKS QUIET. WE WILL KEEP AN EYE ON THE WEEKEND. LATE NIGHT DATA SHOWING THE WEEKEND MAY HOLD OFF UNTIL MONDAY FOR A BIGGER SYSTEM BUT THERE STILL LOOKS TO BE AT LEAST ANOTHER BIG STORM COMING WITH SOMETHING MINOR
