Winter Storm Warning for some with snow expected Tuesday morning

Buckle up. With three systems passing, we are in for an active week of weather across the Tri-State. The first one is just hours away.

Before we get to the snow tonight, we have a quiet and dry Monday. We will stay sunny for the first half of the afternoon, but clouds start to build into the late afternoon and evening. Even with the clouds we will stay dry. Our highs today will be right around 40°.

Tonight, is when the action begins, really much closer to daybreak Tuesday.

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for many counties along and south of the Ohio River starting at 4 a.m. Tuesday through 7 a.m. Wednesday.

Additionally, a Winter Storm Warning has been issued for areas of Northern Kentucky that may see 2-3" of snow.

Starting early Tuesday morning, snow is likely to begin falling, continuing into the daylight hours. Light snow will arrive between 4 to 7 a.m., picking up as we move through Tuesday's morning rush. The snow will move in from the south-southwest, which means this could lead to snow-covered roads in Northern Kentucky for Tuesday's most active drive period. The further north you get, especially north of the Ohio River, the less impactful things will be. However, you can expect some slick spots in some areas in Ohio.

Expect the snow to be widespread through the morning hours, but then it should start to mix with rain in the late morning and early afternoon. The high temperature will be right around 33°.

All said and done, this is not a massive event for the Tri-State. We are looking at 1-2" of snow in the advisory area, potentially 2-3" to the southeast where the Winter Storm Watch has been issued.

Wednesday will bring us another system that races through the area. However, this path looks to stay further north, keeping us moreso in the rain. That said, snow could mix in late Wednesday night into Thursday as cold air plunges in behind.
