RED(S) MONDAY

OPENING DAY

UPDATED FORECAST
Opening day should not be a wash out, but rain delays are possible. The severe weather looks to have slowed and will stay to our west throughout most of the day. Temperatures should top out in the mid 60's. The showers should be nothing worse than we saw on sunday, so the game should get in.

Monday night, a strong cold front will move through the area, but the timing doesn't look right for many of the storms to be severe. The front should move through between 4am and 8am with showers and thunderstorms early Tuesday morning.

GO REDS!!!

Springlike Week

Warmer Week...But Wet

Welcome to a typical Spring week. Seems the Mother Nature is not finished with the monsoon season.... Rain will over spread the area over the next few days and we could see another 1 to 2 inches of rain by the weekend.

At this time, the weekend looks to be a mixed bag...Some sun and some rain, but temperatures will be mild in the 50's and 60's. For all of you baseball fans out there, Reds opening day looks to be wet. We'll be working on a detailed forecast for Opening day and have it up this weekend.

Next week holds even warmer temperaturs but also Thunderstorms. If all this rain holds true, we could see a new record for the wettest March on record.

Watch The Rain Come In...Again

STILL WATCHING THE RIVER

We actually may see a little snow on Saturday afternoon. It shouldn't amount to much....Perhaps a dusting at most.

Take a look at the interactive weather forecaster. This will be on the page when there is a "lull" in the action for Cincinnati. There is a weekly forecast as well as hour by hour. SIMPLY MOUSE OVER YOUR AREA AND CHECK THE BOTTOM HALF FOR YOUR HOURLY FORECAST. 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.

SPRING HAS SPRUNG!

WELCOME TO SPRING!!!!

Winter is officially over and on Thursday we have finally begun Spring! With the change to spring, it brings new excitement to the weather world. This season is our most active time for thunderstorms and severe weather in our area. Weather Logic will have a little different look during these times to make sure everyone is ahead of the storms!

Now just because the calendar says spring doesn't mean we are done with snow. Just as we tend to get a little snow in the fall, the same holds true in the spring. In fact, some looks to be on the way for Saturday Evening.

TERRIBLE TUESDAY & Wet Wednesday

Make Sure the Sump is Working

Heavy rains and even some thunderstorms are going to be here through Wednesday. We are expected to get between 3" and 5" of Rain...not snow...RAIN! That is an enormous amount in just 2 days. We are already under Flood advisories. So expect to hear those Sump Pumps running Overtime these next couple of days...and if they're not, you better get a pail ready! Everything will wind up Wednesday as a little SNOW, but it shouldn't amount to anything.

EASTER "SNOW-BUNNY"???

Could this be how we spend our Easter? There are signs of a late season storm...but enough time to watch it...More to come!

Confusing Times

DID THE 60's CONFUSE YOU?
No, I'm not talking about the decade, but rather the warmth we've had since our Blizzard a week ago. Over the past few days we have felt a warm up in the air and we've had an opportunity to dry out. The snow is melted, except for places it was piled up to the moon, and there are talks of taking boats out on the water this weekend....Well, Easy Does It Skipper!

Over the next few days, we will get a taste of spring and reminder's it's still winter. One storm system after another will enter the area and bring showers and maybe a few thunderstorms. These will be well below severe limits but they will give us a good soaking. Any snow - including the 15 foot snow piles at Kroger - that is left will be gone by the end of the weekend.


WEEKEND FORECAST
Typically we wouldn't be putting a post up since the weather is relatively tranquil, however many seem to be getting Cabin Fever and are wondering what the weekend may bring.

SATURDAY: Highs only in the 40s with showers on and off throughout the day. You may even see a flurry Saturday Night.

Sunday: We'll be near 50 with a few clouds around. Obviously the better day of the 2 for stuff outside.

We're working on a few graphics and may have this as an ongoing section in the future. For now, there are no blizzards or severe weather in our future...or at least until early next week!

Have a good weekend.

RADAR

Watch the radar below. This will show you the storms coming and going.

Severe Friday????

Severe Potential Today and Tonight

Did you see the sun this morning. While it was great to see, it is like adding gasoline to a fire. The sun is great fuel for thunderstorms to develop. Storms need many ingredients and one of them is sunshine.

The Storm Prediction Center of the National Weather Service is monitoring our area for the potential of strong and severe storms this afternoon and evening.

However, keep in mind that these storms are imminent. We just want you to keep and eye on the sky and the blog. As things develop (if they do), we will keep you updated.


See below for the latest watches and warnings.

Good Afternoon! Is this something or what?!?!? Check out the new slide show to the right. (It May take a minute to load). Click on a picture and it will open into a bigger window.
The snow is starting to slow down and in some cases has stopped west and south of the city. However, the folks north and east of the city could see a few more hours of snow. You can expect the entire area to be out of the accumulating snow by 6pm. For the first time in 30 years, WE HAVE AN OFFICIAL BLIZZARD!!!!!!

Take a look below.... This is an 18 inch ruler. The snow is measuring 15.5 inches.

BLIZZARD WARNING OVER

This will be a 2 part storm that lasts from Friday morning until Saturday afternoon. That's the reason we may see significant accumulation. The MAIN EVENT COMES IN FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING. That is when we will pick up our heaviest snowfall totals.

TRACKING THE STORM



TIMELINE

• 7am-8am: SNOW MOVES IN

We typically wouldn't do a rage this big, but there will be a narrow band of where the HEAVIEST SNOW sets up. My best guess would be the counties on and near I-71. Overnight Friday should look quite impressive outside.

THE PENTHOUSE VIEW

BURIED!!!!!

2 AM Saturday UPDATE
For those night owls out there, we felt that you could use an update. Expect the snowfall to re-intensify early Saturday creating additional accumulations. You may even hear a rumble of thunder overnight. Thunder is possible in a snowstorm. Thundersnow is basically a thunderstorm except that you replace the Rain with Snow! If you see it, look outside...it should be a site to see! You can bet that if you hear thunder, you are getting an intense band of snow that is producing an inch to two inches an hour!!!!

I just measured the snowfall outside my house in Florence, KY. We have received 5 inches of snowfall but the wind has created snow drifts. One snow drift that I measured reached over 8 inches. As the snow and the winds pick up on Saturday, you can expect some snow drifts to reach (and in some instances surpass) 2 FEET!!! ~Alvin

Believe it or not, Friday was child's play compared to what's coming today. For the first time in over a decade WE HAVE AN OFFICIAL BLIZZARD!!!!!! READ ON!

FLORIDA TROUBLE

You know you have a STRONG storm when you have tornados on the south side and this kind of snow on the north.

THE BIG ONE...

"WE GOT ONE!!!!!!!!!"


Anyone notice the thick frost this morning? It's called Bearded Frost, and is a forerunner of SNOW!

Cincinnati has had a number of misses this winter, when it comes to "Big" storms. Friday and Saturday look to be quite a different story.

This will be a 2 part storm that lasts from Friday morning until Saturday afternoon. That's the reason we may see significant accumulation. The Main Event comes in Friday after Midnight through Saturday morning. That is when we will pick up our heaviest snowfall totals.

WEST SHIFT IS ON!!!


For all the "Regulars" out there, you'll recall we first mentioned this storm Monday Night. The storm was forecast to run up the east coast and leave us with nothing but flurries. We mentioned that a West Shift was needed. Well, Today...WE GOT IT!

This map will update twice a day on it's own, so watch for updates.

We have another 24 Hours to watch this and we will be adjusting and fine tuning this forecast throughout Thursday and Thursday Night!

PLENTY OF UPDATES TO COME. BE SURE TO REFRESH THE PAGE WHEN YOU RETURN!

WET..TOO WET

FOR THOSE ALONG THE RIVER...

"Thats All I Have To Say about That"...

THE WEEK AHEAD

We'll see a pretty big storm come into the area with Flooding Rains beginning Monday afternoon and ending as a little Snow Tuesday Night. At this point, the flooding will be the largest concern.

WATCHING THE WEEKEND!

The Weekend brings the potential for sizable snowstorm. The storm is expected to track to our South and EAST now. This is an ideal track for big snows in Cincy.

I have put this snowfall map out here from Harris that will automatically update 2 times a day and watch to see how the snow path migrates.

Check out the storm here...Watches Below, and The Ohio River at the bottom.
