on friday as we return to the low 40s, but another system coming friday night there in illinois will drop down over a saturday, a chance for more snow and rainshowers for the start of the weekend. it doesn't look like much snow from the ohio river south but as you go north of cincinnati i can't rule out a slushy inch or two of accumulation during the day tomorrow. we will continue to watch that, a

to hear campbell road, right now because that area is closed and they're being called to the scene. as we look at our interstates this morning. seeing heavy traffic, between, and down to pfeiffer road. i-75 not too bad, but you're seeing folks, 461 is going to leave you with a shot of south of u.s. 27 and you can see on the right said of the screen it's northbound, and you can see heavy traffic between 275 and the bridge, none of that unusual on the interstate, though. we have a little bit of nothing that is major, nothing that will stick, the big story is the colder air that will work. looking at downtown cincinnati on this cloudy, cold morning, and there. those are going to start to move out but winter, it returns today. temperatures will not make it out of the 30s this afternoon. tomorrow another weather system is going to move our way. this is going to bring some snow eventually he mixing with changing rain in the area. could be a little bit accumulation, especially as you get north of downtown in cincinnati. we're watching that carefully and things are going to warm up into next week as we get spring-like weather in here. it's 25 right now. it feels like winter. west winds at 15. and look outer windchill only 13 degrees. a lot of it is student going off to the bus stop. they're layered up ready for this cold. mid-30s midday, and clouds flurries and we start to see decreasing clouds by the afternoon. at noon, and 57 degrees at 4:00 in this the afternoon, and clouds will start to thicken up again during the overnight hours. there's precision doppler 12hd, still picking up snow flurries dotting the area, and especially from cincinnati over point east, and we will see the flurries beginning to move out the area. the low pressure, the rain for us, the wind is pulling away from the area. you can see snow flurries associated with that on the backside of that low. let turn our attention to the next system that is up here developing in montana, it's bringing rainshowers, snow showers to them. this is upper level system is going to dive south tomorrow. there it is in the red shading and the yellow shadings, it's going to dive south through missouri and tennessee, and that is going to spread some precipitation back in our direction during the day tomorrow. solet loop things into the future. morning cloud and flurries, moving out the picture today, sunshine this afternoon are and by late afternoon, we're talking temperatures in the upper 30s, tonight clouds start to roll tonight they thicken up. by tomorrow morning we will see a chance for a few snow showers dotting the area. temperatures are going to be in the upper 20s, we are going to have to watch that, because when we get snow showers pecly north of town could make for slick spots on the roads. tomorrow afternoon, that system arrives and we got a cut off between the rain and snow. green is snow, rain is snow, where is the cut off? over cincinnati as you go north of town. we could see accumulations and south of town in northern kentucky more in the way of rain. as we take you through tomorrow afternoon, slightly warmer works in, eventually change the snow offer to some rain. as you go from cincinnati north, we could pick up a slushy inch or two accumulation, generally less than an inch south of cincinnati. that is the projection now. this could certainly change depending on temperatures which are expected to get into the upper 30s and low 40s. any of those rain and snow showers moving on out tomorrow night near 30 on friday morning. friday afternoon quiet weather, low 40s on friday and then another system is going to come in here saturday. that will bring snow showers, changing over to rainshowers again. we get warmer, though, saturday up to 49 for a high, and checkout the forecast sunday, 54, partly cloudy, monday and tuesday a chance for showers returning, but look at the temperatures, low 60s monday, upper 60s as we get into tuesday. so
