"Cincinnati Braces for Weekend Snow and Bitter Cold"

Cincinnati can expect light snow showers on Thursday, with total accumulations generally less than half an inch, except for southern Lewis County where up to an inch could accumulate. Friday will see widespread snow with accumulations between 1 to 3 inches, along with blustery conditions and wind gusts up to 35 miles per hour. The weekend will bring arctic cold with single-digit morning lows and afternoon highs in the teens and 20s, accompanied by near-to-below zero wind chill values. Next week will bring temperatures above freezing, but it will be unsettled with rain and seasonably warm highs in the 40s, continuing through the rest of January.
