Sunday was our coldest day in more than 380 days here in the Tri-State and the wind make it even worse.
The cold continues overnight as lows fall to the single digits. Look for 7° in Cincinnati. However, the wind chill will be back below zero as we start the day Monday. Wind chills at 7 a.m. will be between 0° & -5°. There is the possibility that a few counties in Kentucky could see overnight snow showers as a system to our southwest moves across the country, staying mostly south of Cincinnati. There could be a dusting for areas of Owen, Grant, and Pendleton counties. Wind overnight will be from the west at 5 to 10 mph.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day will be frigid yet again. Look for temperatures to only reach 18 degrees during the afternoon. Although we are not currently looking at a wind chill advisory for Monday, it will still feel like 5° to 10° most of the day. This is a heads up for any marches or events happening outdoors. There is the possibility of seeing isolated snow showers for the south and southeast late Monday into Tuesday, but most of that should stay closer to the Lexington, KY area. Our main issue remains the cold overnight Monday into Tuesday.
Looking ahead to the rest of the week, temperatures stay below freezing with our warmest day looking to be Thursday at 31°. However, Thursday brings the next chance at some snow. Right now, we are watching a low pressure system that will scoot through the central United States. With that, we could see some snow showers Thursday and overnight into Friday. It does look like we could have some accumulation with that, but it is too early to discuss numbers. Keep checking back in as we get closer for a better breakdown.
