While we continue to see scattered rain, we are all under a WIND ADVISORY until noon. Specifically, winds will be sustained from the southwest at 20 to 30 mph with gusts over 40 mph. It looks like some of the highest gusts will be into the morning drive.
As for the rain, we've picked up between 1"-2" across the area and now the changes will kick in as the temperatures drop into daybreak. It's a wintry mix for us now with a transition to snowfall pretty quickly as and high winds mix down colder air from higher in the atmosphere.
We could see around a 1/2 inch of snowfall out of this overnight changeover but with it being so wet and falling on wet surfaces, it's going to have a very hard time sticking. Nevetheless, some communities north of Cincinnati could see an icy spot here or there first thing in the morning as 7am temps fall just below freezing.
Wednesday is mostly cloudy and windy with a high of 35. Due to the wind, it will feel more like the mid to low 20s.
Thursday's forecast is quiet but another strong system is coming in for Friday and Saturday. Rain is the story on Friday with winds increasing yet again. Then going into Saturday, we'll switch over to a quick snow chance with very high winds. These could be even higher than what we experienced on Tuesday.
Here's troubling news...behind the weekend system is an outbreak of Arctic Air. Temperatures will drop to the 20s and teens for highs! Then, our morning lows will be in the single digits creating the likelihood of sub-zero wind chills.
