Active Weather Ahead

There is plenty going on at jet stream level. The first effect on the Cincinnati Tristate will be some light snow tomorrow as an Alberta Clipper with little moisture comes our way. Temperatures during the afternoon will be at or above freezing and it looks like a wet system.

Behind this system will come a surge of moisture as a low develops over the southern Great Plains. With some cold air in place this could bring some ice to parts of the Tristate.
