People have been stuck on I-71 since 2 pm, just past the Kentucky Speedway. Then to make things worse, I 75 is shut down in Grant Co., KY, from Williamstown to Corinth. Pray for these people!

Winter in the Ohio Valley 101 ---
The track of a low pressure can make or break ya!
1. This system hasn't even developed yet.
2. Models are all over the place on where this low pressure will track.
3. Be careful what you see online in the coming days.
Close to blizzard conditions now forecasted for the Tri-State. Be where you need to be by 6pm tomorrow night. I'm now forecasting 4-6" of snow with winds up to 50mph. Visibility will be zero at times. Make sure you make plans NOW.

We have a MAJOR situation on our hands. I've updated the totals to 4-8" for most of the area. Latest radar trends and temperatures falling fast. I'm very concerned for overachieving amounts and decided to cover that.

We've really need to re-evaluate how these advisories/watches and warnings are issued in the winter season. We have a flawed system.

Take a look at this! When we see a huge trough in California ejecting toward us, you know things are going to be wild! Be prepared for severe weather on Thursday.

I wish the "weather world" was not full of so much hate and discontent. We are all here for one reason. To HELP people. Not be mean to one another! Sometimes it's hard with social media but let's just be a little nicer tomorrow. 😊
Our chances continue to increase for viewing of the Northern Lights tonight. Go an hour east of Cincinnati and you'll likely have the best chance to view.

Watch the pink circled area closely for localized enhancement on snow totals. Something I'll continue to monitor through the day.

It's going to be hard for the NWS to continue to wait on an advisory. People are headed to bed and have not been informed that impacts to their day are VERY LIKELY tomorrow.

The SPC has EXPANDED the Significant tornado threat for this afternoon (pink hatched area) to include the majority of the Tri-State. This means there is a potential for a strong tornado or two. EF2+.

This is a sounding from the 18z NAM in Northern Kentucky tomorrow at 4pm. If this model is correct, we would be in a dangerous situation tomorrow afternoon. We have to watch the morning activity and see if it moves out early enough for this to materialize.

For the NWS to not have an advisory on this is quite ridiculous. People are going to say... "They issue an advisory, and it doesn't snow. They don't issue one, and it snows."
We will likely have loud storms tomorrow morning. Hail is a possibility as well. We will need an expansion in the severe risk for tomorrow night into Wednesday morning. Busy period coming up.

Some of the latest data concerns me for this evening. Timing 8pm-Midnight EDT. Damaging winds, hail, and a tornado will be possible.

Data showing 60-70mph wind gust potential this afternoon with the first wave of thunderstorms. I cannot stress enough to pay attention to the radar if you have any activities that involve being outdoors. Also, plan for widespread power outage potential!

Here we go! I am feeling confident enough to give you my latest thoughts on snow totals. Timing will be 2pm-10pm. Expect impacts to the afternoon commute.

We're narrowing down the areas where we think the best threat for tornadoes will be this evening. IMO areas any around the Metro need to stay alert. Especially SE Indiana.

Short-term models are still showing the potential for lightning this afternoon. IF we were to see thundersnow, this would cause rapid accumulation.

I'm keeping a close eye on the radar and trends tonight and decided to blanket the area in 2-4". I would not be surprised to add and enhanced total area to this map later tonight. Stay tuned.

Keep this in the back of your mind. Accumulating snow is possible Monday while traveling back home. Start making plans now. Details on accumulation still too early.

As for tomorrow, the line currently developing out west should be in our area after the lunchtime hour. I can not rule out this line being severe. Other storms could fire after, all modes of severe possible.

Nailing down the best zone for tornadoes and large hail for today looks to be right over Southeastern IN, Northern KY, and SW Ohio. Make sure you know your family's safety plan and have multiple ways to get warnings!

Severe storms look to be a daily occurrence this week. The best chance for severe weather looks to be Wednesday and Thursday evening. All modes of severe weather will be likely during these days.

Strong to severe storms are possible late afternoon and overnight into Friday morning. Two waves here, one near and after 3pm and one around Midnight. All modes of severe weather are in play. A SLIGHT risk of severe will likely be needed for today.
