WINTER STORM WATCH

"Could Be Lunchmeat...Could be Peaches"
-Little Trivia: Can anyone name the movie this quote is from?


First, the winter storm that i mentioned as a possibility for Saturday is looking more likely. I think everyone in the Cincinnati area will see some measurable snow this weekend.

So...Where do you Live? There is a new poll out on the site today. Make sure you Vote. As this storm begins to take shape, it is looking more and more like someone ends up with 1/2 A FOOT and another person reading this gets a few inches with some rain and sleet mixed in for good measure.


So, as in many storms, this one looks to make Cincinnati its home for a 'plethora of gifts'. So vote on the poll located on the top right corner and that will help me know where everyone is located to fine tune this forecast.





EARLY THINKING

Let me start this section with "This is going to change". So many are looking for how much we are supposed to get out of this weekend's storm that I've decided to go ahead and give some rough estimates so everyone can understand the magnitude of this storm. I will have an updated Snowfall Forecast Map out on Friday.

  • Storm looks to arrive early Saturday morning

  • It will snow hard at times, especially in the evening

  • For everyone North and West of Cincinnati Metro - 4"-7" looks likely with some sleet at times. (Dayton looks to be all snow and 6"8"
  • Everyone South and East of Cincinnati - 2"-4" with some rain and sleet mixing in

WAIT...DID YOU JUST HEAR THAT?

THUNDERSNOW is possible with this storm on saturday. Should you get that phenomenon occur over your house, all bets are off as to how much snow you can get. It is not unheard of to see 2"4" an hour in a THUNDERSNOW event. So be watching. Everyone will not see this, but a select few may, especially just west of Cincy.




FLORIDA

Olga looks like it will die out over the Western Caribbean through this weekend, but I would expect all of you Floridians to be inside this weekend, but not due to the snow. Olga will be sending some rain your way. No Tropical Storm force winds or anything like that. Just be glad it's above 32 degrees with all that rain you are going to get.

I think the quote is from "Looks Who's Talking."
I remember Travolta saying it at the table after he got a can of food with no label on it. I think he went dumpster diving to get it.
So - Could Be Snow.... Could Be Snow/Sleet/Rain Mix!
