SNOW CHANCES THIS WEEK

WEDNESDAY & FRIDAY?
Many have the week off and it will be a pretty nice week overall. Highs will be in the 40's to near 50 to start the week, but we expect that to change with a strong cold front Tuesday Night. This will set the stage for some snow showers, though light, Tuesday night/Wednesday Morning and again on Friday. At this point, no real accumulation tuesday night. We are still watching Friday for a light accumulation.

We'll keep you posted. Be sure to REFRESH for the latest.

MONSTER NEXT WEEK
We are watching a major storm for January 7th & 8th. This will be one that tries to tap arctic air and puts us in a deep freeze for until at least mid January. We will continue to monitor this storm and let u know if you'll need a shovel or a sump pump working!

NEXT ONE IS RAIN...BUT WATCHING SUNDAY

A LITTLE REFRESH RANT FUN
We dedicate today's post and this section to Jeff Terlinden, and some of the pricing guys (Guenther and Neil) who are a little refresh challenged. In fact we'll do the whole write up in green to help the point.

Ok...we'll admit...When we woke up Tuesday morning to nothing but 5 flurries in the driveway, we had to pinch ourselves to see if it was a dream. Watching the Radar fill in monday afternoon and night, surely more than 5 flurries would have collected on the ground. Alvin will be detailing the storm in "THE STORM IN ALVIN'S HEAD" below shortly to explain what happened. After all this is Weather Logic.

Now on to the "Rant"....the advantage Weather Logic has over most of the local and national weather stations is the "Luxury" of updating the page anytime we notice a storm changing. Naturally, we give you our best thoughts as early as possible. Many times that will be before the storm actually forms. A little like looking into our highly expensive crystal ball....but some situations Mother Nature likes to mix it up a bit. Monday was a classic example of "Needing To Change With The Times". We had to update the site late monday night as we saw the dry air come into the region.

Anyone who only saw the post from Monday afternoon or didn't REFRESH the page Tuesday morning saw out of date information. Most know about the Refresh button...It's such a genius invention. It's not hard to find...but we know there are some, like Terlinden, who are REFRESH CHALLENGED. So..we are going to detail the relatively simple steps for you to always make sure you have the latest Update. Now Jeff, if you get lost on these steps, look me up and our tech support team will help you.

NEXT ONE IS RAIN

Rain should move back in Thursday afternoon and last into Friday around lunch. Nothing frozen is expected. Highs Thursday will be near 40.

OVERPECK-CAST

With all the family and friends coming to town, everyone wants to know if we'll have a White Christmas. We've decided to open up the polls on this one and let you decide. See the poll on the top right of the page to vote. We are watching a storm for this Sunday and for Christmas eve that would bring snow. We'll have much more details on Sunday's storm towards week end and Christmas early next week.

For now, the cold and stormy pattern looks to continue through Christmas week. Any warm up we get will be out ahead of approaching storms...so if it gets "warm" (upper 40's and 50's) you know somethings coming!

"WARM"-ER WEEKEND

PERFECT WEEKEND FOR...

Lots of things actually come to mind....but this weekend looks to be the last good chance to get up on the roof to clean out the gutters or string up the lights.

We are expecting high in the low 40's for Saturday and middle 50's on Sunday with some passing clouds. Sunday will be windy, so HOLD ON TO YOUR HATS.

Next week it looks like we head back to a stormy pattern. We are watching another cold front for Monday that will stall out near the tri-state. This is critical as storms will be riding up the front next week. Those south will get rain, those on the front will get an ICE storm and just a few miles to the north will be a snowstorm. As usual, we are on the fence again..we'll keep you posted.

MONSOON TUESDAY...SURPRISE THURSDAY?

SOOO CLOSE...

While everybody focuses on the monster storm effecting the country on Tuesday and the heavy rain in the Ohio Valley, our focus shifts towards Thursday and Friday. We are monitoring the possibility for an accumulating snow very close to the tristate Thursday night.

This smaller, yet potent storm will form on the heels of our Tuesday soaker. The storm is expected to form Wednesday night in the Gulf of Mexico. As of Tuesday morning it was expected to run up the east coast and miss Cincy completely. We needed about a 300 mile shift Westward to be in the "Action". Tuesday, the models shifted the storm about 150 in our direction, just skirting the area. We have another day and a half to watch it. If we get anymore of a shift west, we'll be talking about snow here Thursday night and Friday.

As of Wednesday morning the models bring the edge of the snow to Brown and Adams county. Effecting the Tristate, but only our eastern most counties. We have a little more time to watch it...This one is going to be CLOSE!!!!

"I SPY"....A MIDWEST MONSTER

ICY MONDAY...TO START
UPDATE: 8:00am
25 Degrees with Freezing Rain, Sleet, and a little snow are moving through the area. The side roads are icy but the main interstate lanes are fine. We expect it to move through by 11am then temperatures should rise above freezing. The week ahead looks quite bumpy...we'll be updating the site with our latetst thoughts later today.

Whether you like the snow, or go into a fetal position when you see the white stuff, you have agree that this time of years brings excitement. We see the potential for some "Excitement" over the next week.


FIRST...SATURDAY'S CLIPPER
The "Alberta Clipper" (weak storm from Canada) is still on track for Saturday. Expect snow showers and light snow around during the day on Saturday. Given how cold it's been, we may see an inch or so under the heavier bands.


EXCITEMENT NEXT WEEK
The Real Excitement will come next week. We see 3 storms that will be close enough to bring us an exciting week. One will be a Monday/Tuesday event and the other 2 come in late in the week. All 3 will be working with some cold air and a lot of moisture. ICE, SNOW, and RAIN are all a concern.

We are going to monitor the strength and track of the storm and will focus on "PART I" for Monday with updates this weekend. Stay Tuned and be sure to REFRESH the page when you return for the latest!!!!

"WARM" WEDNESDAY

NEXT ACTION
The sun should come back out late afternoon on Tuesday and we should warm nicely on Wednesday to near 50. Now, this time of year, when we warm up it's usually because another storm is on that way....and that's exactly what we'll have.

Our next system will roll through the area Wednesday night. As you may be hearing on the radio and TV, this one is expected to be mainly rain. We are expecting it to rain overnight Wednesday and finish off as snow showers early Thursday morning. Any accumulation should be well north or our area.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY:

What A Winter...To Come!

'08-'09 WINTER...HISTORIC or HYPE?
So...what makes a Historic winter? 1 Blizzard (March 2008), multiple little storms where the ground vanishes in December not to be seen until April (2000), or a record cold football game(Freezer Bowl 1982..-3 Degrees). All Cincinnati memorable moments...But what will this winter bring?

Over the last few weeks there have been questions in the halls, and comments on the board about how we see this winter shaping up. Seems we are back in the season where Weather Logic thrives as Cincinnatians begin to fear the solid that falls from the sky, and the cold that keeps us inside. So, we've put together our thoughts at what the next 4 months will bring, and we hope you enjoy it.

I've heard everything from "we are headed to a Florida-like Winter, to an Alaska-type winter". And to be honest, no one really knows what the next 4 days will bring, let alone the next 4 months. Everyone has a thought based on weather patterns, and there's no question....ours is about to change!


"OHIO HIGH"
For me, there are 2 things that make the winter memorable...BIG STORMS, and COLD AIR. For the last few months, Ohio's been cut off from the main storm pattern. We had a flooding spring, with storm after storm pushing the Ohio River out of it's banks. Then, just like that, a "roadblock" was put up...we'll call it the "OHIO HIGH"...and storms went around the state leaving us in a rainfall deficit. But now...there are indications of the roadblock is being lifted, the High is breaking down and letting the storms come back in. Look for the action to start to pick mid to late November. Now we just need the cold...


THE COLD
Winter officially starts on December 22nd and goes to March 19th. But don't let the dates fool you....we average a little over 2" of snow in the month of November. Now as I write this on the first week in November, we are having highs in the Mid 70's...but that's all about to change. Cold is on the way and here's the reason why...



The map above shows the Ice and snow build-up over Canada...so why do we care??? Cincinnati gets the Record cold from "Artic Blasts". These happen when storm systems send our winds in from the North where they originate in Alaska and Canada. The air typically modifies if the ground is exposed, however as this region becomes snow and ice covered, the air can't warm and we wind up with brutally cold temperatures. Watch updates to this map here!

THE STORMS
Now, we expect the cold air to get here. Cincinnati gets the big snow storms from the south, and smaller "clippers" from the North. Our blizzard last year came out of Texas. The pattern change looks to put Cincinnati in more of a southern storm in the coming weeks. Once the cold air is in place, look to the south to determine your "shovel days". The chart below is from Henry at Accuweather. He expects Cincinnati to get between 20" and 30" of snow this year.













FOLLOW THE FARMERS
When you livelihood depends on it...you take the time to do it right. According to the Muskegon Chronicle, "The Farmers' Almanac is predicting a cold, snowy winter in the Great Lakes region. In fact, the Almanac -- which claims to correctly predict long-term weather patterns 85 percent of the time -- is forecasting a repeat of last year's frigid, snowy winter." Check it out below...

"LET'S GET IT STARTED"
Some aren't waiting to the official start of winter...Here's what's happened already:

• North Carolina - had their earliest "Snow Day" ever on 10/29/08
• Ireland - hit with its lowest October temperature in 70 years
• Central Florida - 2nd coldest temperature ever recorded in October 10/29/08
• Boise Idaho - Earliest Snowfall on record 10/16/08
• Alaska - 3rd coldest summer on record
• UK - Earliest snow flurries on record 10/28/08

THE SUN IS FADING...KINDA

Finally, if all that above isn't enough, the sun has calmed. We've had a record LOW number of sunspots (Storms on the sun where solar energy shoots off) this year. 200 days this year did not have any sunspot activity. 2008 will go down as the blankest year of the space age as we hit the lowest number of sunspots in over 50 years.

WHAT'S IT ALL MEAN...
Weather Logic will be busy again this winter!

Keep It Close For All The Details!!!

Election Week

Perfect Week...Until the End

We are half way through the week, and still enjoying 70's. I would get out and enjoy this as I don't see where we will be back into the 70's for quite some time. We expect a cold front to move through Friday and into the weekend. The front looks pretty strong at this point and we'll be lucky to make it to 50 this weekend. This also looks to be the start of a much stormier patter for us and this is just the first of many cold fronts that are on their way and will take us into winter.

Snow...Then Shorts?

"AWE....SNAP"
A famous quote from Megan. The cold snap has set in and we will hold in the 40's during the day until midweek. In fact, it will be so cold that we may see a few flurries around Tuesday and Wednesday morning. They will be lake enhanced flurries. The air is cold enough at the cloud level that our 40's is causing instability. The cold air over lake Michigan will add to that, and if the wind blows just right we'll see our first flurries of the season in the early morning hours Tuesday and Wednesday, but don't worry they won't amount to anything.

Different Kind of Week

COLD RAIN COMING
We have a different kind of week than what we're used to. After a nice autumn weekend with highs in the 60's and lows in the 30's and nothing but sunshine, we have a raw end of the week coming up.

Wednesday, another storm system will be coming at us from Oklahoma and Nebraska. It's expected to strengthen as it moves in our area. It's a cold storm! Highs will drop into the 50's with a decent amount of rain late on Friday through Saturday morning. To give you an idea as to how cold this storm will be, we expect it to bring a rain/snow mix to areas of Oklahoma and Nebraska as it strengthens and heads our way...but everyone can relax, we expect it to just be a cold rain as it crosses our area.

Is that the temperature chart for this week or a picture of the stock market? Welcome to the Wild October temperatures swings. After nearly a record hot weekend, we are heading into a large cool down. 80's look to be done until spring. 60's and 50's are on tap next. We'll be in the 70's until Wednesday when a cold front will come through knocking our temperatures down to the 60's and then 50's by Friday. The weekend looks like fall football weather with highs in the low 60's. Nights will be cool and back in the low 40's and even uppper 30's.

FALL IS UPON US

The week of change is upon us. The front has moved through and we are getting our forecasted highs in the 60's and lows near 40. We need rain, and in the worst way, but it looks like most of it will stay to our north this week. Temperatures will begin a warming trend as we head into next week. Expect highs back in the mid to upper 70's again.

For now, that's about as much action as we are going to see as we continue to live under the metaphoric and literal bubble of high pressure that's keeping the storms away. We are watching a few things that are unusual that are leading us to believe this is going to be a Cold and Nasty Winter. More on that to come. Stay tuned...

IKE HITS

MORE OF THE SAME...

For another week at least. It looks to be another warm dry week in cincy, with only the slightest threat of rain as we head towards the weekend. There are some signs, however, that we may see the bottom drop out come the middle of next week with highs in the 60's and lows in the 40's. That's still a ways off and we'll keep you updated. For now, you still have plenty of time to go out and tar down the shingles and replace the siding since you all are back on the grid.

IKE SAYS "SORRY"

(Click Image to Play, Then Click Again to Enlarge)

We told you to expect tropical storm force winds, but Ike even fooled us. The strongest winds were always on the East side of the hurricane and as it tracked through Indianapolis, the rain stayed with it and we got the worst winds. In fact, we had hurricane gusts with an official high wind of 74 MPH at the airport, though other places recorded winds higher than that.

The storm got us all...many lost power, roofs, shingles, trees, siding, and Arbors. A hurricane in Cincinnati...Unbelievable.

Some Things To Do:

1. Check out the Video of Ike ripping through the neighborhood
2. Click on the slide show to the right to see the pix
3. Check out the Cincy Power Outage Map to see how many in your area are w/o power.
4. For More Pix Click HERE

Good Summary from the NWS:

The remnants of Hurricane Ike merged with a frontal boundary and swept through the Ohio Valley on Sunday, September 14. An intense pressure gradient to the south of this system resulted in widespread winds gusts of 50 to 75 mph across much of Indiana, Ohio and northern Kentucky. These winds persisted for several hours which caused very widespread damage with downed trees and power lines, damage to structures, and numerous structure fires. The wind storm left over 1 million people without power across Wilmington's forecast area and resulted in 4 fatalities.

After an extended stay in Hispaniola, Gustav is back on the move and has Jamaica in its sights. We expect it to track right over Jamaica Thurs/Fri and head then begin a more Northward turn towards the Gulf of Mexico. We expect that track to continue through the weekend...pushing the storm West of Florida. That doesn't mean it couldn't curve back east next week, but for now we believe the storm will be South and West of Florida by the weekend. Besides...this is no Fay. We expect this to be a Cat 3 Hurricane before all is said an done...and it will be the Wind everyone talks about and not the rain.

Fay's Coming to Cincy

C'MON FAY...THAT'S WEAK
And when I say little...I mean very little. We will be lucky to get 1/2" out of this storm as most of the moisture went into West Virginia and PA. We'll have another small shot for some rain on Friday as another cold front passes, but wouldn't count on that rain to green up your yard either.


GUSTAV THE GREAT
Hey...Florida...You can relax a little. You may be hearing that Gustav is targeting your state, but that is only temporary. We expect Gustav to continue on on it's NW track most of Tuesday then slow down in forward speed. The steering currents will change and force the storm on a more westerly track near the south shore of cuba. We expect that track to continue through the weekend...pushing the storm West of Florida. That doesn't mean it couldn't curve back east next week, but for now we believe the storm will be South and West of Florida by the weekend. Besides...this is no Fay. We expect this to be a Cat 3 Hurricane before all is said an done...and it will be the Wind everyone talks about and not the rain.

Keep the Fireworks Dry

Soggy Independence Day???



Mother Nature looks like she is taking charge of the Fireworks this year. These may not be ones that you "ohhh" and "awww" about. Another cold front is expected to drop down and stall out over top of the region. As a result, one storm system after another will use this front as a track and mow over top of the region. This will bring off and on showers and thunderstorms to the area. Here's what we think will happen:
Rain and storms move in Thursday around noon...die out overnight.
Rain and storms come back Friday around noon and die out over night. The later the fireworks, the better.
Finally saturday looks to just have spotty showers around in the afternoon. Hit and miss kind of stuff...NO WASH-OUT. BUSINESS TIMMERFARM!Expect the temperatures for the rest of the week to remain in the 80s during the day and 60s at night.

I will be back with my forecasts and weather commentary when there is a threat for an accumulating snow or severe weather in the area.

THE WEEK AHEAD

A LITTLE LESS ACTION
Barring some scattered storms monday afternoon (mainly on the East Side), the week ahead looks pretty nice. The Ohio river has finally calmed down and is back to it's "relatively clear" state and the boats have returned! The week ahead should do nothing to change that!

Now...if you have to mow the grass, I would HIGHLY recommend you do so Monday or Tuesday, as the 90's and HIGH humidity return for later in the week.

Strong and Severe Thunderstorms will be developing this afternoon right over head. They will cluster together and form lines with strong winds up to 80 MPH and small hail. Stay tuned to the blog and refresh often for any further updates.







WATCH THE STORMS MOVE IN




STORM WATCH
First...NEW FEATURE...We have added a flashing "Storm Watch" to the top right corner of the page to alert you when significant storms are on their way. You will be able to read more details about it here in the main section of the blog.

Severe weather looks to be returning to the Tri-State Friday afternoon and overnight. We first mentioned this storm early in the week, and it appears the storm has sped up enough that we will be left with a nice weekend. The storm will happen in two parts...one will come through Friday afternoon / evening and the actual cold front will move through just after midnight.

We should the sky start do darken late morning friday and get a few pop up storms that develop out ahead of the cold front. Any storm that does occur will have the potential to be severe given the current environment. The main threat from these storms will be large hail and very strong straight line winds. Chances for Tornadoes look to be slim but cannot be completely ruled out. We'll be posting the watches and Warnings as they occur.

Check out "The Storm in Alvin's Head" below for more details on how Friday's storms compare to the Severe Weather from last week.

Stay Tuned...
