Winter Storms Threaten East Coast with Snow Totaling Up to 6 Inches

CINCINNATI, Ohio – A series of winter storms is set to impact the region starting Tuesday morning, bringing potential snowfall totals between one to four inches. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for several southern counties including Adams, Bracken, and Robertson, starting at 4 a.m. and lasting until 7 a.m. Wednesday.

The initial round of snow will begin early Tuesday, with accumulations expected to affect the morning commute. By 6 a.m., snow will start moving into southern areas before gradually spreading northward throughout the day. Meteorologist Dani Beckstrom noted, “The biggest impacts are anticipated for areas south and southwest of Cincinnati, where totals could reach up to three inches, especially in counties like Mason and Robertson.”

For Cincinnati and its surrounding areas, the snowfall is expected to range from one inch to possibly a bit less in northern communities. Beckstrom continued, “Although the city is likely to see a lighter snowfall, areas further south could see higher accumulations.”

A Winter Weather Advisory has also been implemented for counties including Boone, Kenton, and Clermont, lasting until Wednesday morning. Residents are advised to prepare for slick roads and limited visibility.

The wintry weather doesn’t stop there; a second storm is anticipated to hit Wednesday afternoon, initially bringing rain but possibly transitioning to snow in northern parts later. “Cincinnati will be near the dividing line between rain and snow, but it looks like primarily rain based on the current forecast,” Beckstrom added.

Looking ahead, a third round of winter weather is anticipated this weekend, which could influence the region with a mix of rain, sleet, or snow. The exact timing and impact of this storm will be clearer as the week progresses.

Anyone planning to travel in the area should monitor the weather closely and consider adding extra time for commutes as conditions may deteriorate.
