ROUND. ALL RIGHT, TURNING TO OUR WEATHER NOW WITH METEOROLOGIST ALLISON ROGERS. BOY, IS IT A CHILLY ONE OUT THERE. IT’S COLD, AND IF YOU THINK IT’S COLD NOW, JUST WAIT UNTIL WHAT YOU SEE HEADING INTO NEXT WEEK. IT LOOKS REALLY COLD. IN FACT, DANGEROUSLY COLD AT TIMES NEXT WEEK. AND THAT’S NOT EVEN TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE SNOW. A COUPLE OF CHANCES OF THAT MOVING FORWARD. SO WE HAVE A BUSY FORECAST AS WE KICK OFF THE NEW YEAR. THINGS ARE ACTUALLY LOOKING FAIRLY QUIET RIGHT NOW. STILL CAN’T RULE OUT SOME ISOLATED FLURRIES FOR THE REST OF YOUR EVENING, BUT OVERALL WE ARE STARTING TO QUIET DOWN WITH OUR WEATHER FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT 24 HOURS. ALL THANKS TO THIS AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE. BUT THEN AS WE GO INTO THURSDAY NIGHT, FRIDAY MORNING, OUR NEXT SYSTEM, YOU SEE IT RIGHT OVER HERE STARTS TO MAKE ITS WAY INTO THE GREATER CINCINNATI AREA. THAT’S GOING TO BRING US A QUICK ROUND OF SOME LIGHT SNOWFALL EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. FOR MOST OF US, BEFORE THE SUN EVEN HAS A CHANCE TO COME UP. NOW THAT IS GOING TO BE KEY WITH TIMING, BECAUSE WE’RE TALKING ABOUT A SNOW COMING DOWN WHEN IT’S COLD OUTSIDE AND WHEN THERE’S NO SUNSHINE OUT THERE EITHER. SO THIS IS GOING TO BE LIKELY A STICKING SNOW INTO FRIDAY MORNING. SO FRIDAY IS A WEATHER IMPACT DAY FOR US AS FAR AS THE REST OF TONIGHT’S CONCERN, WE STILL MIGHT SEE AN ISOLATED FLURRY HERE OR THERE, BUT THROUGH THE DAY TOMORROW, I EXPECT TO SEE SOME CLOUD COVER WITH A LITTLE BIT OF SUNSHINE OCCASIONALLY. BUT GENERALLY I DO EXPECT TO SEE A DECENT AMOUNT OF CLOUD COVER FOR YOUR THURSDAY. HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO BE RIGHT AROUND 3536 DEGREES, DEPENDING. OVERALL, TOMORROW IS LOOKING TO BE ONE OF THE QUIETEST DAYS MOVING FORWARD TO KICK OFF THE NEW YEAR. CLOUD COVER ARRIVES LATE THURSDAY NIGHT. THAT’S GOING TO STICK AROUND THROUGHOUT THE DURATION OF THE NIGHT. THEN EVENTUALLY WE ADD SOME SNOW INTO THE MIX. THIS QUICK HITTING SYSTEM IS LIKELY TO DROP AROUND AN INCH OF SNOW FOR A LOT OF US. REALLY AND TRULY, I THINK MOST OF US GET ON AVERAGE AN INCH, BUT SOME SPOTS A LITTLE BIT LESS THAN SOME EVEN COULD SEE AS MUCH AS AN INCH AND A HALF OF SNOW. ONCE ALL IS SAID AND DONE FRIDAY MORNING, MOST OF THIS IS GOING TO START TO WRAP UP. AS THE SUN STARTS TO COME UP. SO AGAIN, JUST KEEP IN MIND, UNTREATED ROADWAYS LIKELY WILL BE SLICK EARLY FRIDAY. OTHERWISE TREATED ROADS. YOU HAVE TO STILL KEEP AN EYE OUT. OF COURSE, BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES, THINGS LIKE THAT. NOW, AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND, OUR WEATHER STARTS TO GET A LITTLE BIT MORE ACTIVE. WE’LL HAVE THIS STORM SYSTEM MOVING IN HERE THIS UPCOMING WEEKEND. IT MOVES INTO THE OHIO VALLEY, STARTING LATE SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY, BRINGING US IMPACTFUL WEATHER STARTING LIKELY AT THIS POINT SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGHOUT THE OVERNIGHT INTO MONDAY. SO SUNDAY AND MONDAY BOTH ARE GOING TO BE WEATHER IMPACT DAYS. THOSE IMPACTS SPECIFICALLY STILL NEED TO BE IRONED OUT, BUT IT DOES LOOK LIKE WE WILL SEE SOME PRETTY BIG IMPACTS STARTING SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGHOUT YOUR DAY ON MONDAY. AFTER THAT, OUR WEATHER IS TURNING REALLY COLD. THIS IS WHEN THAT DANGEROUS COLD STARTS TO SET IN. I THINK TEMPERATURES IN THE OVERNIGHTS LIKELY DROP DOWN TO AROUND ZERO AFTERNOONS, BARELY MAKING IT INTO THE TEENS, AND FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURES VERY WELL COULD SIT IN THE SINGLE DIGITS FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. SO REALLY COLD WEATHER STARTS TO SETTLE IN HERE BY THIS TIME NEXT WEEK. BUT JUMPING BACK TO THIS UPCOMING WEEKEND, HERE WE ARE ON SATURDAY. THAT STORM SYSTEM THIS WINTER STORM STARTS TO TAKE SHAPE OUT TOWARD TEXAS SATURDAY AFTERNOON. IT MOVES INTO THE OHIO VALLEY STARTING EARLY SUNDAY. THEN BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON, WE START TO FEEL THOSE IMPACTS HERE LOCALLY. LIKELY. NOW, THE THING IS, IS BECAUSE THIS IS STILL 4 TO 5 DAYS AWAY, THIS CAN AND MOST LIKELY WILL START TO CHANGE, ESPECIALLY DEPENDING ON WHERE THE EXACT CENTER OF THIS WHOLE SYSTEM GOES. SO WHEREVER THAT BIG EL GOES, THAT’S GOING TO HAVE A HUGE IMPACT ON WHAT WE SEE LOCALLY. THERE’S A CHANCE THAT IT NUDGES A LITTLE BIT FURTHER TO OUR SOUTH, AND WE WIND UP JUST SEEING SNOWFALL FROM THIS. BUT THERE’S ALSO A CHANCE THAT IT MOVES JUST TO THE NORTH OF US A LITTLE BIT. AND THAT MEANS THAT WE SEE MORE OF A WINTRY MIX THAT STILL HAS YET TO BE DETERMINED. I THINK THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS WILL START TO SEE MORE AND MORE DETAILS OF WHAT’S ACTUALLY GOING TO BE THE TRACK OF THIS. THEN WE CAN TELL YOU THE TYPE OF PRECIP TO EXPECT, AND THEN THE AMOUNTS YOU CAN EXPECT. SO AS OF RIGHT NOW, BOTH OF THOSE THINGS ARE PRETTY LOW IN OUR CONFIDENCE. BUT ONE THING I AM PRETTY CONFIDENT OF IS THE IMPACTS THAT WE ARE GOING TO FEEL FROM THIS AGAIN, THAT’S STARTING SUNDAY AFTERNOON, SUNDAY EVENING AND THEN THROUGHOUT THE DAY ON MONDAY AS WELL. IF WE WIND UP SEEING ALL SNOW, WE COULD BE DEALING WITH A PRETTY DECENT SNOWFALL HERE. ONCE ALL THINGS ARE ALL SAID AND DONE. BUT IF WE WIND UP SEEING MORE OF THAT WINTRY MIX, THAT’S GOING TO HAVE A BIG CHANGE ON THE AMOUNTS THAT WE SEE WITH SNOW. SO AS FAR AS FRIDAY IS CONCERNED, AGAIN, KEEP IN MIND WE’LL PICK UP THAT QUICK INCH OF SNOWFALL BEFORE THE SUN COMES UP. IMPACTS THE ROADS, ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT GO UNTREATED, BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES, BACK ROADS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. NOW, AS WE HEAD INTO NEXT WEEK AGAIN, I DECIDED TO GO AHEAD AND MAKE WEDNESDAY AN IMPACT DAY BECAUSE OF THE COLD. WITH THOSE FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURES STAYING IN THE SINGLE DIGITS FOR A LOT OF THE DAY. THAT’S SOME SERIOUS COLD THAT YOU’LL WANT T
