A winter weather advisory has been issued for the Cincinnati tristate area. The overall storm scenario has not changed in that snow will begin after dark and end Thursday morning. Some freezing rain and sleet may mix in in northern Kentucky, but this will not be enough to cause significant problems except for areas well south of the river.
The big change is that there appears to be more moisture in the system than what was projected last night. An area of heavy snow may develop near rush hour Thursday. General accumulations are now expected to be 2 to 4 inches, but some 5 inch amounts are possible near and just north of the river, including Cincinnati. Given these totals, this storm will likely be similar to Sunday’s in many areas, maybe a little more in areas which did not get hit hard Sunday. If the heavy snow develops near Thursday rush hour, it could lead to considerably more traffic headaches than we saw Monday morning.
Those traveling south should be advised of winter storm warnings from Louisville and Lexington south into Tennessee which could result in major accumulations of snow, sleet, and freezing rain late Wednesday into early Thursday.
