It has been a dreary final day of 2024 with clouds, wind, and rain, but at least it has been warm. That warmth is about to go away as we turn the calendar into the new year.

Scattered showers continue through the final hours of 2024 as a low-pressure system sweeps past the Tri-State. On top of the rain and clouds, wind continues to gust from the west-northwest. These will be as strong as 35 to 40 mph at times as we move through the evening.

Showers start to end as we move past midnight. However, there will be a lingering shower or two as we ring in the New Year. In some areas, it might be just cold enough to sneak out a few snowflakes as well!

It is almost as if Mother Nature is saying "New Year, New Me!" as we begin 2025. Temperatures will be right around freezing on Wednesday morning with scattered flurries, especially in the morning. Skies stay mostly cloudy and we will only see a high of 36°.

After a dry and quiet day on Thursday, we have our first shot at snow in the new year overnight into Friday. A quick-moving clipper system will push through overnight into early Friday, which could bring a dusting to a half inch for areas to the north of the Ohio River.

That is just an appetizer for a bigger threat as we move to the weekend. We are still monitoring the potential for a decent amount of snow on Sunday into Monday. Models are beginning to come to agreement that we will see some accumulation. How much that is will be a question we have to answer as we get to the end of the week. Just know that it is one to watch for now.
