Clouds have build in across the Tri-State and that also brings in a chance at some spotty snow as we head through the middle of the day today. The best timing is in the early afternoon as a quick-moving clipper system brings some light snow showers across the Tri-State. While not expected to be a big event, we could still see a quick dusting of snow up to a half inch in some areas. Today's high temperature will only reach 27° but the wind chill will stay into the mid teens.

Tonight, temperatures will drop even further as we dive into the low single digits. The low in Cincinnati will be around 4°, but areas outside of the city may be closer to 0°, if not below. Add in a wind from the northwest 5 mph and we will be looking at wind chills of -10° to -5° for much of the morning. It will stay dry and mostly clear overnight.

Wednesday will be sunny but very cold. High temperatures will struggle to make it out of the teens, with a high in Cincinnati around 21°. Wind from the southwest will breeze from 5 to 10 mph, keeping the wind chill around 10° to 15°.

From there we will see a gradual warm-up as we move into the weekend with temperatures around freezing on Thursday and then the 40s for Friday. Saturday is a day to circle on your calendar as it brings us the chance for some rain, which in turn could lead to areas of local flooding due to the snowpack. Temperatures plummet behind that with another wave of snow showers Saturday into Sunday.

Next week is looking even colder, with highs in the teens on Monday and Tuesday.
