Winter Storm Warning: Snow that accumulates quickly and falls 2-5 inches over Cincinnati

Updated: 2:02 PM EST January 24, 2023

Just as one winter storm moves away, another takes aim at Greater Cincinnati. Snow accumulation offers opportunities for snowy roads midway through the week. LIVE RADAR // LATEST WEATHER ALERTS // CLOSURES AND DELAYS Tuesday will be mostly dry. We start fresh in the 20s, but plan highs in the low 40s and mostly cloudy skies. The storm won’t arrive until after midnight. Another strong storm with potentially high impact will arrive in our area late Tuesday and early Wednesday. Accumulating snow moves in after midnight and piles up quickly as the snow gets heavy. Most of the snow will be before dawn on Wednesday morning. By 8 a.m., the mixing line heads into Cincinnati with a transition to some sleet or rain. The rain/mix line operates from south to north through mid to late morning. By noon, it will all be raining, with the exception of the far northwest in Southeast Indiana, where snow may remain until noon. Snow totals will be higher the farther north/northwest you live. Most around Greater Cincinnati pick up 2-4 inches. Areas in the north/northwest may see closer to 4-5 inches. Expect snowy roads and messy travel on Wednesday morning. Roads should slowly improve Wednesday afternoon as we see light rain/drizzle. A few showers are possible after 5 p.m. Thunderstorms and snow showers remain in the forecast for Thursday and Friday. Our next chance for moisture will come as rain or a wintry mix on Sunday. This may affect Bengals AFC Championship viewing parties!
