We will see these develop during the course of the afternoon, by noon 34, late day upper 30s with more scattered afternoon snow showers, but with a warm, ground temperatures in the upper 30s today, its not expected to create too many in the way of travel problems. Were going to have more on the weekend warm up in minutes, but lets checkout travel conditions with jen dalton. Reporter we this a few minor incidents earlier but i think theyre in the clearing stages. As we look at the interstates, can you see theyre moving along okay this morning. I did watch salt trucks go up and down, near i71 i75, and even though those are close to our areas, and no none of the precipitations they are out there treatinged the roads. They want to leave early, because its wet out there, and we saw what happened out there yesterday. We will keep you updated john. Dont ask for tap or sparkling, why so many people welcome back, everyone, happening tonight, the republican president ial candidates will square off in their 10th debate.

But airliners in europe are dreaming up something more comfort comfortable. Im twisting. The chair is like an exoskeleton and if you look at the back of it, theres a spinal cord, and a rib cage that moves with every movement. That is what it looks like on the inside, and the maker says it gives you a seat that adjusts to your body. Its more comfortable to sit and even sleep for long periods of time. The twister takes up no more space than a typical economy seat and several airlines are showing interest. So its a couple of years ago from seeing them on airplanes, though. And a way to get more comfortable are. The catch22 is that the airlines pit people against each crammed space, and these seats are reclining. Theyre in your space, theyre in your face, know. And you get mad at them, and its not really their fault. I got a dude 73 that is seating behind me, and puts his of seat back, hey, dude can you get your hair out of my drink. The roads are in pretty good shape. I dont know if they are great, but were not having problems. Not that i have heard about out there. Our map. I think most of these, though may have cleared, had an earlier issue warsaw at wood lawn, and redding and summit and one at gateway at state route 63. I think those are either in the clear up stages or have completely cleared. We do have an accident right now want to let you know about it on highway 232 at state route 756, so watch for flashing light in that area. Again, as we have been saying the interstates out there are moving along okay. I have been watching salt trucks across the interstate. I know i past the salt tile my way in, and things were moving along out in there. Theyre out as we take a look at roads, theres a live look at 471, things are getting busy in the northbound as they would at this time of the morning, john, but i think its typical out there today. Maybe slower than normal because the roads are wet. We saw yesterday, with just rain, how slow things were, so keep out of there in mind. That going to slow things down. We will wonder if its going to stick to the roadways, in those cases the answer to that is going to be warm, because the pavement is so warm. This is key to travel conditions this morning, around the metropolitan area, we have pavement temperatures which are running in the upper 30s. As you get up to batesville, oxford, the low 30s there, the only place we can find a pavement temperature below freezing. Two spots has been liberty indiana, and sabine a where its been around 31 degrees. That data is coming and going into the system. Sticking to the roadways, there may be exceptions in the heavier snow showers, as we get into northern, clinton want and Warren County, you may see snow stick to the roadways, a bridge or path briefly. If you are traveling i71, warren in Clinton County. Just be tra careful this morning, that is where snow showers are falling, nearly a half an inch of snow reported at wilmington with snow showers, you will see those tailing back, Highland County, adams county and even in sections of brown county this morning. You will see these move out. Lingering flurries for the remaining of the morning, and more snow showers will develop through the afternoon. Light snow falling around the Greater Cincinnati area. Snow showers will be on and off today. May even mix with a little rain into the afternoon. Generally an inch or less accumulation, primarily on grassy surfaces, and things will be qie quite windy throughout the day as well. West winds a twch of 22 as you step out the door with light snow over the at airport. Low 30s through the morning with scattered snow showers coming to an end, flurries linger toward the noon hour, and then into the afternoon, we begin to see more of those scattered snow showers develop, some of these into the afternoon could be quite intense in some communities, but with temperatures in the upper 30s and a warm ground, theyre not expected to cause too many problems. Here is the big view, weather system from yesterday, its pulling away from the tristate, pushing into new york state and you can see snow showers wrapping around the backside of that especially to the north and east of downtown, cincinnati. Im going to put things in motion, you will see more scattered snow showers developing as we take you into the afternoon hours here. Here they are, pushing through the area and a hint of some rain mixed in with those by Late Afternoon with temperatures reading in the midand uppers 30s. We will be above freezing throughout the day. We will take you through tonight. Snow showers and though a flurry or two may linger through tomorrow. Colder in the morning. We will have to watch for refreeze issues tomorrow morning, with temperatures in the midand upper 20s and tomorrow afternoon mostly cloudy day, could be a few flurries in the area, temperatures in the mid30s, cold in the morning. Skies clear out, saturday afternoon, though, we begin a warm up. I do expect highs to reach into the upper 40s to low 50s with a blend of sunshine and clouds headed for a high. And it get better for sunday, 50s saturday, near 60 on sunday, there will be a chance for a shower back by sunday evening. 37 degrees your High Temperature later today, expect on and off snow showers, windy conditions, they may look quite impressive at times, accumulations an inch or less, low 30s at 8 00, 28 at midnight. Snow showers, and flurries lingering 25 the low. Another cold day tomorrow with a chance of flurries highs in the mid30s, theres the 50s saturday, theres the 60 on sunday, a little cooler behind shower chance late sunday, early monday. 54 monday, but warming right back to 60 tuesday with rain developing tuesday, could even be some more rain and the possibility of some thunder again by the middle of next week. Its up, its down, track it all with our free Weather Authority app. Guys, mainly wet roads this morning. But if youre going up through Warren County, Clinton County, do be a little extra careful up there. The snow has been heavier that way. Thank you, john. 6 21, choosing to have a baby girl. Why a model or finger is causing ahead this morning, too much ive been a turkey farmer my whole life. And i raise turkey for honeysuckle white.

And the ground is so warm, and were not getting that much. Its raw, make no mistake. Its cold out there. The winds are bleak making blowing, and its making it feel really cold. Up here in the warren and Clinton County, its been coming down a little heavier especially as you get up toward gurneyville and toward the wilmington area. We have picked up around a half an inch of snow, and wilmington is going to add to that. Grassy surfaces. Cant showers falling through Highland County and through adams county, you can see those flying from west union toward the west peebles area. This shower activity is pushing away from cincinnati. Theres a few flurries to the west, which will be across the area this morning. This is key to the forecast. Pavement temperatures across the metro are in the upper 30s, as the snow falls generally speaking its melting away. However, you go up toward sabine a, toward liberty, indiana, your pavement has been colder. That is why you pick up in portions of Clinton County, there may be slick spots developing. Theres the view, 34 degrees, 22. The wind and the cold a bigger story than the snow showers in cincinnati. 32 still snow showers hanging out, 34 at noon, and upper 30s later today. Windy, were going to see more snow showers redevelop in the afternoon than we see with mix generally an inch or less, of snow fall accumulation. Im back with details on the big weekend warm up in minutes, butlet checkout the morning drive with jen. Reporter it doesnt look like the precipitation that is coming down is causing havoc on our roads this morning. We do have a couple problems, highway 222, an accident reported there, and then a couple more to let you know about. Its broken down at 71 at taft, its over to the shoulder, that should be cleared soon, hamilton near rockford place, he near the north side. We had a report of possible pedestrian struck at winton and north bend. I think theyre in the clean up process of that accident scene and i dont think injuries were reported. We will get you more information on that as we get t as we look at the interstates. Ive been watching salt trucks going up and down the interstates, theyre cautious to make sure you are safe. Heavy traffic and Perry Shibley is out there driving live for she is on 275 at kentucky. Heading eastbound, perry does it look like things are moving a noting although okay out there. Reporter yeah, things are moving along okay, we have been out for a couple of hours. We have been north, we have been west, south and now were headed east. Its hard to tell right now, but there are flakes coming down hitting the pavement, but like you guys have been saying the pavement is warmer than the air temperature so its melting on contact. No problem, right . Not necessarily. No problem as far as snow, of course, sno snow day for those kids, but nearly 1. 2 million traffic crashes happen every year on wet pavement. That according to aaa so you do want to slow down. You want to drive sensibly with roads in these conditions, and you want to make sure that you increase your following distance when you get on roads like these drivers should. At best be about 34 seconds between the car in front of them. You want to leave that much distance so you can have a proper stopping distance and then you know, you want to make sure you are using your headlights, your brake lights are in working conditions. All things that we know, right . Well, you know when youre in a hurry, youre headed to work, you get out on the roads, sometimes we forget. I know i certainly do. I think everybody can say that.
