February has started off VERY warm here across the Tri-State. In fact, it is the 4th warmest 10 day start to a February on record in Cincinnati.

A cold front moved through earlier today and started to cool us down. That continues overnight. Those winds from the northwest are around 5 to 10 mph and will drop temps into the upper 30s for Sunday morning. Skies overnight will stay mostly cloudy and we might even see a few showers to the south of the Ohio River. That is because there will be a low pressure system that passes to our south overnight into Sunday. The best shot at rain is for areas of Northern Kentucky between midnight and 7 a.m. Temperatures will fall to around 38° in the city.

Clouds will stick around to start Sunday but as we head into the afternoon there will be some decent clearing. That still allows for a high temperature into the low 50s for most areas, which is still 10-degrees above normal. Winds will still be northerly at around 5 to 10 mph.

Monday will be a few degrees cooler as we only climb to 48°, but there is a system that moves in later in the day that we are watching closely. Right now, it looks like we will see rain move in during the afternoon and evening on Monday which is then followed by a snow chance Monday night into Tuesday morning. The big question will be the timing of the cold air as the system moves through. The best chance of snow will likely lie in southeast Indiana and southwest Ohio. We are still 48 hours away from this system, so there will still be some changes as we get near. If we do see any snow, there will be some decent melting to begin due to the warm ground temperatures from the historically warm start to February. Stay tuned as we get closer.
