Well we are almost there…one more round of snow and cold to suffer through, then a big-time warm up is going to kick in. We will have to suffer through another cold night and hard start to the car, but the snow should hold off until after the morning commute in to work. Right around noon is when the flakes should start to fly, and snow will pick up in intensity during the afternoon and last into the evening with up to an inch of accumulation possible by the time we are all trying to get home from work. This will be more of a nuisance snow than a snow storm with the timing being the bigger problem than the actual snow. Snow showers and flurries should slowly wind down Monday night and into Tuesday morning, and that’s when our warm up should kick in. Tuesday afternoon when the sun tries to break through the clouds we have a chance at hitting 32 degrees, and we are only headed up from there. Wednesday should bring lots of sunshine, and the snow should start to melt in a hurry with highs headed for the upper 30s, and Thursday and Friday bring a chance at hitting the lower 40s. One thing we will have to watch for is thick fog developing on Thursday and Friday morning with all the snowmelt that is expected. The long-range models are no longer hinting at that back door cold front moving in Thursday night so we no longer need to worry about a chance for rain or light freezing rain into Friday morning. The weekend is still going to produce a big storm tracking along the southeastern U.S., but there is some uncertainty with how this will affect the Ohio Valley. As of right now, we’ll mention a chance for a wintry mix on Saturday, and then a chance for snow on Sunday. It should not be anything too heavy, and it looks like it will be just barely cold enough for snow too, so if anything accumulates it would be more of a slushy, sloppy snow with limited travel-related problems. We’ll keep an eye on it…stay tuned!
Almost There…
