Starting in the afternoon, we will see a chance of snow, which will linger long into the night. New snow accumulations of less than half an inch is possible.
Overnight, temperatures will fall to a low of around 14 degrees as clouds decline throughout the night. Winds will die down somewhat, but some breezy winds will stay around, driving wind chills down around zero just before dawn.
Prolonged exposure to these bitter conditions can lead to frostbite or hypothermia. Some signs of frostbite include a burning sensation, tingling or numbing. Hypothermia can begin with shivering, followed by drowsiness, shallow breathing, slurred speech and, eventually, unconsciousness and death.
During the day on Saturday, it will generally be calmer, with clouds decreasing for most of the day and temperatures rising to around 27 degrees.
In the evening on Saturday, clouds will start to rise again, and soon after dark we will see a chance of snow which will last through the night before falling away before dawn Sunday.
Overnight temperatures will fall to around 13 degrees, though wind chills will again make it feel like the single digits before daybreak.
Previously, the NWS said that it has been most of two years since Cincinnati saw single-digit weather, the second-longest streak on record. If Cincinnati sees single digits on Saturday night, the streak will end at 704 days, one week shy of the previous record, which ended at 711 days on Jan. 21, 2013.
[6:35 AM] Both Cincinnati (KCVG) & Columbus (KCMH) are at 701 consecutive days w/ temp staying above the single digits. All-time records at both sites is 711 days. It'll be tough to get thru next 10 days without a single digit temp observed at either site. Only time will tell...
