3 MORE STORMS...THEN RIDICULOUS COLD

WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY...(For Some)
The NWS has issues a Winter Weather Advisory for areas north of the 275 loop beginng 1AM Saturday until 7pm Sat night. Be careful if you live up that way.

Click HERE for the details.




NEXT STORM = SATURDAY
This certainly appears to be a winter storm for areas to our north. Cincinnati will get primarily rain from this event.

We expect Freezing Rain to move in after midnight. Turning to plain rain around dawn. Very light ice accumulation is possible. The cold front will go through and change what's left over to snow after lunch but by that time, most of the moisture will have moved through, so snow totals will remain light. Should be <1">

Take a look at the computer model below. We thought we'd share a little of what we look at to make these forecasts. Hopefully you know where Cincy is. (hey...you'd be surprised). This model will show the ice (red) come in over night then turn to rain (green) before ending as snow (blue). This is as close as you will get to looking into a "Crystal Ball" and seeing the future. Notice at the end of the run a "blob" coming our way from North Dakota. That's our Tuesday storm. Next week is our turn for accumulating snows.

WATCH THE STORM COME IN




THE POLAR PUSH
For all of you Sam Kinison fans..."Grab you kids...Grab your 'stuff' ", we'll make one trip...We'll take you to where the warm is...because it won't be here.

We are watching next week for a "Ridiculous Cold" outbreak around Mid and late week. Below zero readings are possible. We are watching 2 arctic storms that will lay down a blanket of snow before ushering in arctic air. When the ground is not exposed that arctic air can not warm which is why we expect below 0 temperatures late next week. We'll have more as we get closer to the event

Sounds like you're spot on with the temp forecasts here in the Chicagoland area. They're predicting the coldest temperatures in more than 10 years! And, so far this morning (Sat. 1-10-09), 6" of snow and counting.
