Slick Mornings
January 21st, 2010 at 8:41 am by Jamie Jarosik under Weather
Today and tomorrow mornings will be slick, as temperatures are/will be right around freezing. We have freezing rain currently moving through parts of the Miami Valley on Live Doppler 2X, and a FREEZING RAIN ADVISORY has been extended until noon for five counties… Miami, Montgomery, Darke, Preble… and Wayne Co in Indiana. We’ve had icing reports in Wayne County, particularly in Richmond and Centerville… where a Level 1 Travel Warning is in effect because of the freezing rain. Darke County also has a Level 1 Ice Advisory, which means roadways are slick and hazardous. We could see a little freezing rain around Friday morning, as well.
During the day today, temperatures will warm enough to switch any freezing precip over to rain. It should happen by 10am or so… icing will become less of a concern. BUT it’s still going to be a wet day, with periods of rain around and that will even continue into tonight. THAT’S when we could see a little more freezing rain, as temperatures drop off again.
So after a possible slick start Friday, the afternoon looks dry. We’ll stay dry on Saturday, with some peeks of sunshine and warmer temperatures. We’ll be in a pretty strong southerly flow ahead of our next storm system:
That stronger cold front will move through on Sunday. And, yes, we could even hear some rumbles of thunder early in the day! The winds will also be a little gusty over the weekend, as the storm approaches.
Then we’re back to winter-like weather early next week!

I knew you were going to have a boy wow!!!!! hey i got that forecast right!!!!!
whens the due date?
First of all, congrats on the news! It feels good to be right, so where’s my pretzel!?! Come on now, be nice and share with me.
I don’t know if the newsroom got any phone calls Thursday evening from New Carlisle residents at 9:15pm asking if we were under a Tornado warning because our siren decided to malfunction!!! This siren is right across the street from me and went of for a half hour. Ugh!!! Oh well, it made for an interesting evening, kind of. Hopefully they’ll get it fixed before Spring and we won’t have to deal with that again. Enough of my complaing. Enjoy your weekend and stay dry! 
Thank you to both of the Michaels!
We are pretty excited for the little guy to arrive… he’ll be here in early June!
That is too bad about the tornado sirens… I’ve dealt with that here in Montgomery Co before, too. But it happened DURING severe weather, and that can be even scarier. A false alarm when thunderstorms were coming through… at night… causing some major concern, as you can imagine!
