A Little Snow Saturday (2024)

SHE’S LOVING THIS MILD WEATHER AND HOME. WE CAN JUST GET THROUGH THE WINTER LIKE THIS, I DON’T KNOW. LET’S CHECK IN WITH CHIEF METEOROLOGIST KEVIN ROBINSON AND SEE WHAT HE THINKS. WELL, YOU KNOW, LONG TERME, AS I LOOK DOWN THE ROAD, IT CERTAINLY APPEARS THAT THE SECOND HALF OF THE MONTH, OR AT LEAST THE SECOND HALF OF OUR WINTER, IS GOING TO BE A LOT COLDER. THE QUESTION IS EXACTLY WHEN DO WE MAKE THAT FLIP? BECAUSE WITHIN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS, THERE’S GOING TO BE A LOT OF COLD AIR, A HUGE RESERVOIR OF COLD AIR THAT’S GOING TO SLIP INTO NORTH AMERICA. AND EXACTLY WHERE THAT COLD AIR ENDS UP WILL HAVE A BIG IMPACT ON THE FUTURE FORECAST FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE WINTER. THAT SAID, ALL THAT SNOW THAT WAS OUT THERE IN CALIFORNIA, AND THAT’S FROM THIS SYSTEM, THEY ACTUALLY CALL THAT WHITE GOLD. BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT? IN THE SPRING AND SUMMER, ALL OF THAT SNOW MELTS AND IT HELPS TO REFILL AND FILL UP THOSE RESERVOIRS THAT THEY NEED FOR DRINKING WATER AND SUCH. AND THE VERY DRY SOUTHWEST. SO HERE’S OUR SYSTEM. THAT WILL DELIVER A PERIOD OF LIGHT SNOW IN HERE EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. FORTUNATELY, IT WON’T BE ANYTHING LIKE THE VIEWS YOU JUST SAW OUT OF THE MOUNTAINOUS AREAS OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. BUT WE’LL PROBABLY GET A NICE LITTLE COATING OUT THERE. THIS WILL PRIMARILY BE EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. IN FACT, I THINK A LOT OF FRIDAY NIGHT IS QUIET. THE SYSTEM, YOU KNOW, IT DOESN’T HAVE A LOT GOING FOR IT. THERE’S GOING TO BE A LAYER OF WARM AIR AND LIMITED MOISTURE, SO IT’S GOING TO BE BATTLING TWO THINGS. SO THE NET RESULT WILL BE RELATIVELY MINOR ACCUMULATION, PROBABLY A SLUSHY. INCH FOR A LOT OF US OR LESS WILL GENERALLY BE THE RULE. I THINK THE ROADS ARE JUST WET. OF COURSE, YOU’LL NEED TO WATCH THE ELEVATED SURFACES AS ALWAYS, RIGHT? RIGHT. YOU CAN NEVER RULE OUT A SLICK SPOT ON A BRIDGE SOMEWHERE, ESPECIALLY IN MORE RURAL AREAS. BUT ROADS WILL PRIMARILY BE WET AND THIS WILL BE SOMETHING THAT’S AROUND EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THOSE SCENARIOS WHERE YOU WAKE UP, IT’S SNOWING. IT’S PROBABLY A NICE COATING ON THE GROUND OUT THERE, AND THEN BY 4 OR 5:00 IN THE AFTERNOON, THAT SNOW IS ALREADY MELTED AWAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOVE FREEZING. RIGHT NOW, THOUGH, WE ARE HEADED DOWN AT LEAST COMPARED TO THIS TIME YESTERDAY. TEMPERATURES A HANDFUL OF DEGREES COLDER OUT THERE, AND THAT IS SETTING US UP FOR WHAT SHOULD BE A PRETTY FROSTY NIGHT. WE’RE AT 35, IN SPRINGBORO, SHARONVILLE IS AT 34, 35 IN KENWOOD, 34 IN FORT MITCHELL. SO IT WON’T TAKE MUCH TO GET US BELOW FREEZING OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. IT’S ONLY 36 OFFICIALLY HERE IN CINCINNATI. LOOK AT THE DEW POINT. LOOK AT THIS TEMPERATURE. AND THEN ONCE THOSE WINDS GO LIGHT TONIGHT. THAT’S RIGHT. WE’LL PROBABLY BE WITHIN A DEGREE OR SO OF 20 BY MORNING. SO HERE’S YOUR 12 HOUR FORECAST. WE’LL DROP BELOW FREEZING IN A HURRY SIX 7:00. WE’LL SPEND THE NIGHT IN THE 20S UNDERNEATH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES. JUMP INTO FUTURECAST HERE. BEAUTIFUL DAY TOMORROW. A NICE WINTER DAY WITH PLENTY OF SUNSHINE. CLOUDS WILL ROLL IN TOWARDS DARKE. YOU’VE GOT FRIDAY NIGHT PLANS. YOU’RE FINE. ANY THREAT FOR RAIN OR SNOW SHOWERS REALLY WON’T COME UNTIL AT LEAST MIDNIGHT, AND PROBABLY MORE SO IMPACTFUL. 3:04 A.M. HERE’S YOUR PERIOD OF LIGHT SNOW FOR A FEW HOURS SATURDAY MORNING. THEN THAT GETS OUT OF HERE. ENDS PROBABLY BY 9 OR 10, AND THEN TEMPERATURES WILL CREEP ABOVE FREEZING IN THE AFTERNOON. AND THAT’S WHY I THINK WHATEVER SNOW THAT FALLS IN THE MORNING IS PROBABLY GONE FOR MOST OF US BY EVENING. SO FROSTY TONIGHT 21 FOR AN OVERNIGHT LOW TOMORROW. NICE. AND THEN WE’LL WATCH THATRILLIONAIN SNOW MIX MOVE IN HERE AFTER WE’VE GONE TO BED TOMORROW NIGHT. SO A NICE WINTER DAY ON FRIDAY AND THEN A LITTLE BRUSH WITH WINTRY WEATHER OVERNIGHT. HERE’S YOUR SEVEN DAY FORECAST. I’M GOING TO LEAVE SATURDAY MORNING AS A WEATHER IMPACT DAY. SO IF YOU’RE UP EARLY ON SATURDAY, THAT’S WHEN IT WILL IMPACT YOU THE MOST. SOME LINGERING RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS IN HERE ON SUNDAY, BUT WITH TEMPERATURES ABOVE FREEZING THAT SHOULDN’T BE A BIG DEAL. MONDAY STARTS QUIET AND THEN ON TUESDAY, ASHLEY AND SHEREE, ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE BIG STORMS, WILL WRAP UP, BUT WE’LL BE ON THE WARM SIDE OF THAT. SO THAT MEANS WE SHOULD SHOOT UP CLOSE TO 50 WITH RAIN BEFORE COOLER WEATHER
