Snow showers and flurries will continue today, then gradually taper off.  Quick coverings to a half inch are possible.  Temperatures will remain in the 20’s.  The warm ground temperatures will lead to melting and then re-freezing on pavement, so slick spots and ice are likely.

Another system will affect the area Saturday.  The current track would take the low and heaviest snow band north of Cincinnati, possibly as far north as Dayton.  Nonetheless, a period or burst of snow is still expected in Cincinnati, possibly as much as an inch or two.

Due to the northerly track of the low, snow may shut off Saturday and temperatures rise, possibly into the mid or upper 30’s.  Therefore, don’t cancel any plans.  It may not be too bad, especially in the afternoon.

Sunday and Monday appear cold, followed by a warming trend ahead of the next system which will approach by mid-week.  That system appears to be warm enough to produce rain, or a mix changing to rain.

After a wet Wednesday, Thursday will be much colder.  There is a slight chance of a thunderstorm Wednesday, and a very slight chance of severe weather.  Snow showers Thursday could leave light accumulations with temperatures falling through the twenties.

A clipper system Saturday holds the potential to leave accumulting snow.  A few inches may be possible in some areas.

The NWS Wilmington has issued a summary of yesterday’s wind event, which included a 76 mph gust in Darke County, 70 mph in Wilmington, and 66 mph at Cincinnati Lunken.  A tree or two blown down and a few limbs, but a far cry from Ike as predicted.  The full summary can be found here .
