3rd & 7 37yd

I heard the totals are rising a bit is this true for warren county?

by Brittany 1/21/2016 6:12:53 PM
Over the past 72 hours it seems that this storm has tracked more South, is there any indication or data that points this storm taking a Northern track at this point?

by George 1/21/2016 6:13:17 PM
George... right now the track has stopped shifting south. There was a slight wobble back to the north with the morning and early afternoon data, but not significant enough to change our current snow estimate.

by Jason Adams 1/21/2016 6:14:09 PM
Brittany... right now, I have not seen anything to change the totals for Warren Co.

How much snow for Mt. Washington?

by Jeff 1/21/2016 6:16:40 PM
Is there an official guesstimate as to what time it will start tomorrow?

by Natalie 1/21/2016 6:17:01 PM
Natalie... For areas south of Greater Cincinnati, it will begin between 8 and 10 am. Greater Cincinnati should see it begin between 11 and 1. North of

by Jason Adams 1/21/2016 6:18:03 PM
... Cincinnati.. should begin after 1 p.m.

by Jason Adams 1/21/2016 6:18:18 PM
What time should the snow come tomorrow and what are the chances of a snow day for the Boone County area?

by Sidney 1/21/2016 6:18:39 PM
Sidney, Boone Co can expect to see the snow begin between 9 and noon. Not sure about a snow day since it will develop late in the morning.

by Jason Adams 1/21/2016 6:20:03 PM
Are there still uncertainties with regards to when it will start and how much we will get? What's the latest for Union, KY?

by Jennifer P 1/21/2016 6:20:16 PM
Jeff, Mt Washington could see 2-4"

by Jason Adams 1/21/2016 6:20:38 PM
what time will the snow start in grant county ?

by karen 1/21/2016 6:21:14 PM
Jennifer, still some uncertainty as models are not agreeing, but feeling a little more confident about 2-4" of snow for Union. Timing, that hasn't changed, and it still looks like 9 to 11 a.m. to start there.

by Jason Adams 1/21/2016 6:21:17 PM
Karen, Grant Co can expect it to start between 8 and 10 a.m.

by Jason Adams 1/21/2016 6:21:33 PM
Good afternoon! What predictions can you make about flights coming into CVG tomorrow night from airports that are not experiencing bad weather? Do you think CVG will delay or cancel flights scheduled to come in?

by Hannah Harlan 1/21/2016 6:21:40 PM
How many inches of snow will the Goshen area get?

by Melissa Ernst 1/21/2016 6:22:19 PM
Is the snow enough to cancel area schools for fear of afternoon commute in your opinion?

by Dan 1/21/2016 6:22:27 PM
Hi Hannah! There's a good chance for incoming flights, and outgoing to be disrupted. Snow will become most widespread during the evening and overnight. I would anticipate some delays.

by Jason Adams 1/21/2016 6:22:51 PM
Melissa, Goshen could see around 2-3" of snow

by Jason Adams 1/21/2016 6:23:06 PM
Dan, I would say yes, but with the uncertainty, I think it would be wise to wait until tomorrow morning to make the decision.

by Jason Adams 1/21/2016 6:23:30 PM
How much is west Harrison, Ind supposed to get?

by Katy 1/21/2016 6:24:41 PM
How much snow will Independence see and at what time?

by Savannah 1/21/2016 6:24:43 PM
Katy,
West Harrison is on the lighter side of our forecast. Right now, it looks like 1-3" there.

by Jason Adams 1/21/2016 6:25:07 PM
Savannah, Independence can expect to see snow beginning after 10 a.m. and lasting all day. Right now, the estimate is 2-4".

by Jason Adams 1/21/2016 6:25:53 PM
How much snow are we going to see during the work week and how much are you predicting in cincinnati, ohio. I live in Wyoming, ohio and I take the bus to work and home. And I'm just wondering am I going to be snowed in for couple of days?

by Julie mills 1/21/2016 6:26:24 PM
How many inches of snow will we see in Westwood? And what time should it begin? Thanks!

by Chad 1/21/2016 6:26:30 PM
Julie, I wouldn't say snowed in, but some disruptions are possible. Right now, the estimate for Cincinnati is 2-4". Next week, we do have snow chances, but right now, those appear minor.

by Jason Adams 1/21/2016 6:28:06 PM
Chand, Westwood is looking like 2-4". It'll begin between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.

by Jason Adams 1/21/2016 6:28:27 PM
*Chad... sorry :)

by Jason Adams 1/21/2016 6:28:31 PM
Hi, if there is any movement of the storm is there a sense if it will be north or south?

by Tim Dunn 1/21/2016 6:28:46 PM
What goes in to the different models meteorologists speak of? How do they differ?

by Nick 1/21/2016 6:28:53 PM
Hi Tim! Right now, there was a slight wobble to north with the early morning data. There's a chance it could fluctuate. This type of system can completely crash a forecast by a tiny little move of 50 miles or so. That's why we're being cautious with our snow estimates.

by Jason Adams 1/21/2016 6:30:54 PM
Nick, all kinds of math and physics go into weather forecast models. A ton of algorithms and equations. Also, current observations of weather go into the models too. It is VERY complicated, ha!

by Jason Adams 1/21/2016 6:31:43 PM
I was watching your Facebook live feed earlier and you two mentioned that you all are usually able to give predictions sooner than you have with this storm. What is it about this particular one that is making predictions so hard?

by Kelli 1/21/2016 6:33:50 PM
I'm assuming this is all snow? I remember hearing around Lexington they could get ice. What part (if any) of NKY could see ice?

by Jennifer P 1/21/2016 6:33:57 PM
Heading to Florida this weekend. Original plans were to start the drive at 5am Saturday morning. In regards to the snow fall in the south ( not sure how much ky and Tennessee are supposed to see ) should we delay leaving yo during the day?

by Megan 1/21/2016 6:34:02 PM
Hi Kelly! The problem with this storm is our computer models are not agreeing day to day with the track of the center of low pressure. Some were north a few days ago, then they went back south, and then this morning, they went back north. Every move of the center will dramatically increase or decrease our snow amounts. The changes have the sharp cutoff of snow totals going right through the Tri-State, so the numbers have been inconsistent up until today.

by Jason Adams 1/21/2016 6:35:29 PM
Jennifer, yes this will be all snow. Temperatures will not pass 32 tomorrow afternoon. It don't see the rain/snow/ice line moving north of Lexington tomorrow, so we're all snow in NKY.

by Jason Adams 1/21/2016 6:36:08 PM
Megan, snow will already be accumulating south of Lexington by 6 a.m., with a chance for ice along the TN/KY border. If you could leave even earlier, that would be better for you!

by Jason Adams 1/21/2016 6:37:08 PM
Megan... conditions only get worse during the day from Cincy south to TN.

by Jason Adams 1/21/2016 6:37:28 PM
I'm just now tuning in, how much snow do you think middletown will get and do you think there is a chance in it could be more or less?

by Kayla 1/21/2016 6:38:21 PM
Is there any chance of school closures or early releases in the afternoon tomorrow for the West Chester area?

by Noah 1/21/2016 6:38:23 PM
can u tell me when this storm will hit Elsmere ky PLEASE

by cindy 1/21/2016 6:38:25 PM
Kayla, Middletown will be on the lighter side of the storm. Estimates right now are 1-2". It could be even less if the track of the storm shifts south... something we're watching very closely.
