Temperature chart:

These hour by hour forecast charts use exclusive hi-res European weather model data and give you an idea of precip and temps hour by hour over the next 90 hours for select cities around the Ohio valley. This is a new tool id like to share with all of you. I can get these for all the bigger cities in the country. If you look where it says 1-hour precip and then snow below that anytime you have snow there will always be precip showing up also. This does not mean its a mix of rain and snow if that were the case the mix boxes would fill in. Anytime we have precip at all it will always show in that box and then the TYPE of precip will fill in below it. Take some time to look at these I think they can help you plan. The accum snowfall box is accumulated overtime so the last box at hour 60 and then again at hour 90 you will just simply add the 2 of those together. I know this might be confusing so if you have questions please do not hesitate to reach out!
