Here we go again

This weekend is shaping up to be very cold and for some, very snowy. The arctic front will clear the area Saturday afternoon and temperatures will plunge afterwards.  Lake effect snow bands will set up late Saturday evening with the exact location, intensity and duration to be determined. It appears that extreme Northeast Ohio and Northwestern Pennsylvania will have the best potential to pick up significant snowfall. Everyone will share in the cold with high temperatures remaining in the 20's region wide.  By Monday the coldest air will move east but temperatures will remain below normal with highs in the 30's.

 The arctic front will moving through the area quickly on Saturday bringing a fresh round of bitterly cold air.

 Sunday will be the coldest day of the weekend with high temperatures remaining in the 20's and windy conditions producing low windchills. 

The arctic high and coldest air will move east on Monday, but the next arctic front will already be on our doorstep. This may set the stage for a coastal storm to affect the east coast on Wednesday with rain, snow and wind . It is much too early to focus on specifics, but this warrants watching.
