A winter weather alert has been issued as a snowstorm is set to impact the Tri-State area this morning. Early forecasts have slightly adjusted the expected snow totals, with predictions now indicating totals between 1 and 3 inches. Most areas will likely receive around 2 to 3 inches by 7 a.m., although some regions southwest of the Greater Cincinnati area, particularly near Owenton, could see totals reach 4 inches.
The snowfall is expected to taper off by 9 a.m., leaving behind a cloudy sky with occasional flurries throughout the day. Afternoon temperatures are projected to reach the low 30s, providing a chilly backdrop for the day’s activities.
Looking ahead, another snowstorm is on the horizon for Saturday, which could bring even more significant snowfall. Early estimates suggest this upcoming system could result in greater snow accumulation, depending on its trajectory.
As the weekend progresses, the most notable concern will be the arrival of arctic air. By Saturday night, the skies are expected to clear, leading to a drastic drop in temperatures, with overnight lows plunging into the single digits. The frigid temperatures will continue into Sunday afternoon, when highs are only expected to reach the teens. This severe cold will undoubtedly create challenging conditions, particularly for attendees of the Bengals game.
