IT IS 643 KICKING OFF WITH A LIVE LOOK OVER DOWNTOWN CINCINNATI, WHERE A DENSE FOG ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT. WE’RE TRACKING THE IMPACT ON YOUR COMMUTE. REMEMBER, BUSSES WILL BE OUT THERE, KIDS WILL BE WALKING TO SCHOOL. WE ALSO HAVE SOME NEWS FROM ACROSS THE AREA. EARLY MORNING FIRE IN BETHEL AND ALSO A SHOOTING IN THE WEST END. WE ALSO HAVE YOU COVERED ON SOME BIG DELAYS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW AT THE WINTER OLYMPICS. WE’VE GOT TO START WITH YOUR FORECAST. IT IS A WEATHER IMPACT DAY AGAIN BECAUSE OF THE FOG. NOT GOING TO HANG AROUND AS LONG, BUT CERTAINLY IMPACTFUL THIS MORNING. METEOROLOGIST RANDI RICO TIMING OUT THE FOG RANDI. AND THEN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WE’RE GOING TO SEE THOSE TEMPERATURES CLIMB. I MEAN, TODAY WE HAVE A SHOT AT 60 DEGREES WILL BE WELL INTO THE 60S. THE NEXT TWO AFTERNOONS.

DENSE FOG ADVISORY RIGHT NOW CONTINUES THROUGH 10 A.M., BUT THE WINDS ARE PICKING UP AND THAT SHOULD HELP TO MIX THE FOG OUT OF HERE MUCH EARLIER THAN YESTERDAY. SPRING LIKE 50S AND 60S ON TAP TODAY, TOMORROW AND THURSDAY BEFORE THAT STREAK GETS SNAPPED THURSDAY NIGHT AS A COLD FRONT COMES THROUGH AND BRINGS US RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS. YOU CAN SEE THE POCKET OF LOWEST VISIBILITY. CINCINNATI RIGHT UP 75 TOWARD HAMILTON AND MIDDLETOWN. THAT’S WHERE THE VISIBILITY IS. DOWN NEAR ZERO THIS MORNING. GOT THE WEATHER IMPACT SYMBOL FOR THE MORNING COMMUTE BECAUSE OF THE FOG. AND THEN BRING ON TEMPERATURES INTO THE 50S THIS AFTERNOON. TOMORROW THERE’LL BE THE CHANCE FOR MAYBE A PASSING SHOWER IN THE MORNING, AS THE WARMER AIR TAKES OVER. AND THEN YOUR BETTER BET FOR THUNDERSTORMS IS THURSDAY NIGHT.
