A Break(Temporary) from Wintry Weather

This past weekend, the area generally  received 3-6 inches of snow from the synoptic system that passed through the Ohio Vally. The system grabbed a little extra warm air so sleet and even some mixed in with the snow for a period of time Saturday night. Now that that system is well out in the Atlantic Ocean, colder air is being brought in on the northwest air flow. Two quick systems will affect the air in the next 24 hours spreading 1-3 inches of snowfall by the Tuesday evening. After that a nice moderation in temperatures will occur Thursday and Friday resulting in above normal temperatures.

Two quick low pressure systems will trek through the air spreading a round of snow Tuesday morning followed by a break at mid-day. Another round of snow will move through the area by Tuesday evening. 

By Thursday, a storm system will move northeast through the center of the country placing the Ohio Valley in the warm section for a few days. Temperatures in the 40's and rain showers will be likely throughout the period. The front will finally push through Saturday into Sunday and by that time, flooding may be an issue.

Looking ahead to Christmas week,  there may be a chance for a white Christmas for the area.  After this long period of cold and snow, one would think it would be certain. Another system is poised to move through the region during the middle of the week and that will determine if there will be snow on the ground Christmas Morning.
