CINCINNATI (WKRC) – A springlike surge of warmth will give way to a late-winter punch as powerful winds, thunderstorms and even snow showers sweep through the area over the next few days.
Sunday will be windy and warmer, with highs near 74 and some sunshine. A Wind Advisory Sunday runs through 8 a.m. Monday, with gusts that could hit 50 mph.
Showers and storms are expected after 10 p.m. Sunday, and some could be severe. Most of the area is under a level 2 (of 5) risk for severe weather, with damaging wind gusts the main concern. There is also a small tornado and hail threat. The strongest threat is expected to fade by about 4 a.m.
After the storms, temperatures are expected to tumble. Monday will turn sharply colder and remain breezy, with highs around 34 and snow showers possible. Wind chills Monday will be in the 20s. By Tuesday morning, wind chills are expected to drop into the single digits.

Despite the return to snow, little or no accumulation is expected because of the recent warmth. More snow showers are expected Wednesday, with temperatures reaching the mid 40s. After that, the pattern turns quieter and warmer, with temperatures back above average in the 60s from Thursday through Saturday.
