about the extent of it. so the winter weather advisory continues for all except fayette and union county through 10:00 in the morning. this is really not for precipitation falling overnight as much as it is for wet, slick, snow-covered roads, thanks to all the snow we had earlier today. this includes cincinnati, all of kentucky, all southwest ohio and nearly all of southeastern indiana. so roads will be improving overnight, main roads will be slushy in spots by early tomorrow morning. but rural secondary roads, roads that were not treated before snow fell earlier today will probably not in very good shape late tonight and early tomorrow. optimistic crews will be out heavily overnight doing their best to make sure roads are just wet by early tomorrow morning.

windchill 11. temperatures will be rising overnight through the 20s. can't rule outing especially with pavement temperatures below freezing, some refreezing in spots overnight. meaning people drove over snow, standing water on the roads, it creates some new slick spots. but i think most of the slick spots that we have overnight had earlier today. roads will be at least wet overnight, possibly snowy, and then we have rain and snowshowers for some late tomorrow and tomorrow evening, and then another round of rain and snow will come on tuesday. windchill now 9 in cincinnati, cloudy skies. temperature 28 degrees. wind out of the southeast around 10 miles per hour. 20, the current temperature now in cincinnati. that's about as cold as we're gonna get for the rest of the night. we're up close to 30 degrees by early tomorrow morning. lots of snow earlier today, and a six-hour window we picked up 2.7-inches of snow. the cincinnati northern kentucky international airport, the drier air has punched in from the west. still had a lot of clouds that we had earlier today but at

be aware overnight roads will still be wet, slick, snow-covered. stray flurries can't be ruled out. mainly concern for wet and snowy roads, and of course we'll keep an eye on rainshowers that will be scattered southeast cincinnati possibly mixing with some snow into tomorrow evening. forecast high tomorrow, 38 degrees and therred flurries tuesday and that's no joke. upper 50s lower 60s by the time we get to the back end of the workweek. good morning cincinnati will have the updated forecast beginning at 8:25. meanwhile, the weather authority app has got everything you need. >> yeah. i need that. >> i need warmer air. >> light at the end of the tunnel. and indiana should have seen it coming.
