We are watching that light snow slowly come to an end overnight, the northwesterly winds are turning west and that cold wind off the Great Lakes is shutting off. As we clear out tonight some single digit lows will be possible into Sunday morning, so the cold sadly is not going to quit for a couple more days. Sunday will at least bring a little more sunshine, but snowmelt will be kept to a minimum with highs only in the mid 20s. Clouds will build once again into Monday morning with another weather system approaching. This will be a typical clipper quickly moving through Monday afternoon with limited moisture, but it looks like a brief period of heavy snow Monday afternoon could result in a quick inch of accumulation. Flurries and light snow showers could continue into Tuesday morning, and then that should be it for winter’s grip for a while. A Pattern change in the atmosphere from northwesterly flow to a more west to east flow will bring warmer air to the entire country, and a return to above freezing temperatures! The second half of the week looks pretty quiet, we will have to monitor a cold front backing into the Ohio Valley Thursday night trying to bring a chance for light rain late Thursday, and then possible a wintry mix or light freezing rain into Friday morning. Precipitation chances will be low through all this however so it is not something we are too concerned with at this point. Into the upcoming weekend, the long-range models have been suggesting a big storm system firing up in Texas and then marching across the southern Gulf Coast states. We will probably on the northern fringe of this one receiving a cold rain on Sunday and into Monday. Stay tuned!
