The Arctic storm brings strong wind gusts and temperatures that feel close to or below zero

LET’S TALK ABOUT OUR WEATHER FORECAST. It’s pretty cold outside. The TV says “19,” but you also take the wind into account. The problem is that the temperatures you’re seeing just don’t come close to what we feel, right? YES. The wind was very gusty out there this morning. TO BE CONTINUED THIS AFTERNOON. We’ve scaled back some things, but it’s still not enough to make it feel better outside. EVEN THE ALTITUDE WILL NOT REALLY BE THAT WARM TODAY. This is exactly what we have to deal with. I GUESS. At least the city camera looks good out there. WE HAVE SUNSHINE ACROSS MUCH OF THE TRISTATE, BUT YOU WILL SEE THOSE FAN WINDS COMING FROM THE WEST NORTHWEST. NOW GULS OF 1,520 MILES AN HOUR OVER MUCH OF OUR AREAS. So when you factor in those winds, those temperatures, and the current temperatures right now in the lower 20s, it feels more like single digits in the low teens. FROM HAMILTON TO OXFORD AT NINE SIX THE FEELING IS IN BATESVILLE, OLDENBURG, EIGHT FROM FLORENCE TO INDEPENDENCE, 12 DOWN IN FALMOUTH AND WE ALSO SEE A LOT IN THE METRO. A LOT OF THE SAME WITH SIX FROM KENWOOD TO TEN FAIRFIELD NINE HERE IN CINCINNATI, SEVEN COVINGTON TEN IN PARTS OF CLERMONT COUNTY, BATAVIA AND UNFORTUNATELY IT’S NOT GETTING MUCH BETTER NOW THIS AFTERNOON. THIS FEELS LIKE TO STAY IN THE TEENS, WITH ACTUAL TEMPERATURES REACHING AROUND THE MID 20S, 252C FOR OUR HIGH FOR TODAY. In fact, the coldest maximum temperature we’ve had on this date was 24°C, so we won’t be far off that. But I think it will be just a little warmer here. So we will continue to monitor that. BUT ANYWAY, IF YOU HAVE PLAN TO GO OUT TONIGHT TO PERHAPS VISIT SOME CHRISTMAS LIGHTS IN CLERMONT COUNTY, THE LIGHTS OF THE NIGHT, NIGHT OF THE LIGHTS EVENT, I EXPECT these temperatures to get back into the teens at some point. OVERNIGHT. We’ll see those single digit numbers come in by Friday morning, and it’ll be cold again Friday too. FORECAST FOR THIS BUS STOP. THIS WIND COOLING DISCONTINUES AGAIN IN ADJUSTMENT. LOWER TEENAGERS. So not quite as cold as what we saw this morning, but definitely still a chilly feeling out there. AND UNTIL AFTERNOON. THESE 20S AGAIN IN THE FORECAST. Actual temperatures will approach freezing and winds should ease until they are no longer as strong as we are for parts of this weekend. So if you’re traveling to any of the BLITZ 5 football games, we have a lot of schools that are going to the state championship games, Anderson, tonight, 7 p.m. up there in Canton, Ohio. It will feel like the teenagers up there in Canton, Ohio might have to deal with some snow too. AND THEN WE HAVE MOELLER ON FRIDAY. IF YOU’RE IN YOUR 20S AGAIN FOR THIS GAME, YOU’LL FEEL LIKE ABOUT 14. AND THEN FOR OUR KENTUCKY TEAMS TRAVELING OUT IN PARTS OF NORTHERN KENTUCKY. WE HAVE BEECHWOOD 4PM ON FRIDAY SHOULD BE UNDER 30S. Saturday will be a little better for us. 4:00 PM FOR RYLE, YOUR GAME SHOULD BE AROUND THE MID 40’s. AND THEN COOPER ON SATURDAY AT 7:00 PM, UPPER 30S. SO NO MATTER WHAT IT IS, THERE’S DEFINITELY STILL A COLD WEEKEND OUTSIDE FOR SOME FOOTBALL GAMES. AND IT’S JUST THAT TIME OF YEAR TO PLAY IN THESE COLD CONDITIONS. So it feels like seven to eight degrees in Wilmington. The actual temperature, as I mentioned, will drop into the 20s, reaching a high of 26 to 27 degrees today before we see that 20s drop again tonight, into the teens overnight. And then, as we mentioned, there was another cool morning here on Friday. WE START THE MORNING IN THE TEENS WITH THE FEELING OF THE LOWER TEENS WALKING OUR WAY INTO THE 20’S TEMPERATURES, LOWER 30’S ACTUAL TEMPERATURES. And then the 40s finally come into play over the weekend, both Saturday and Sunday, possibly even the 50s on Monday.
