Winter Weather Advisory Set for Friday: First Alert Issued
The Cincinnati area is bracing for winter weather as a Winter Weather Advisory is set for Friday, impacting the Tri-State region. Effective from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., this advisory warns residents of potential snow accumulation and hazardous driving conditions.
Snow Forecast and Advisory Details
The FOX19 NOW Weather Team predicts that a total of one to two inches of snow will blanket most areas. However, regions northeast of downtown Cincinnati may see higher amounts, ranging from two to three inches. This snowfall is expected to begin falling around 7 to 8 a.m., with heavier bands arriving by 10 a.m.
Timing and Weather Conditions
- Start Time: 7 to 8 a.m.
- Peak Snowfall: 10 a.m.
- End Time: 2 p.m.
After the main snowfall concludes, isolated snow squalls will develop in the evening. These squalls, which are akin to summer downpours, can drastically reduce visibility and increase the risk of accidents on the road.
Cold Weather Advisory
In addition to the Winter Weather Advisory, the National Weather Service has issued a Cold Weather Advisory for Warren County. Wind chills may drop to dangerous levels through noon on Saturday. Residents are advised to limit outdoor activities and dress in layers to protect against the cold.
Weekend Weather Outlook
The upcoming weekend promises dry but frigid conditions, with temperatures only reaching the 20s on both Saturday and Sunday. Overnight lows will fall into the teens. However, a warm-up is anticipated next week, with temperatures climbing into the 40s and 50s, providing a welcome contrast to the current winter chill.
