Cincy ForecastDaily Weather Updates and Analysis

A winter storm is headed towards the tri-state, with snow moving into the Cincy metro area between 8-10am tomorrow (6-8am western tri-state, 10-noon eastern), lasting through the evening (before tapering to light snow/snow showers). The energy aloft with this system will be rather impressive, thus expect the snow to come down at a decent clip for most of the day. Because of the cold air in the mid/upper levels of the atmosphere, snow to liquid ratios will be much higher than usual, averaging around 20:1 (20″ of snow for every 1″ of liquid), rather than the standard 10:1 we typically see. This update is rather short, but I will have much more in-depth coverage starting this afternoon, continuing through the storm. Stay tuned!
