The weather roller coaster has continued as expected and unfortunately we are about to find ourselves at the bottom of a low valley. In the past week with we have experienced two snow episodes totaling three to six inches for most locations. Midweek featured a day of above normal temperatures that quickly tumbled down after a cold front passed through. The same storm system produced a few tornadoes across Florida and Georgia injuring several people. This weekend another system will clip through the area and will deliver a winter wallop to Northern Ohio. Quieter weather will be in store for the region next week.
Currently upper level energy is diving south across the Western Great Lakes region. This energy will spawn a low pressure system near Northwestern Ohio that will track east and generate a band of moderate to heavy snow overnight. Today's daytime highs in the lower forties (40's) will drop overnight as cold air moves into the area.
The storm system will move quickly east during Saturday and brisk cold air will be moving over the area. The storm system is expected to generate four to eight inches of snow with the heaviest totals centered on the turnpike. High temperatures tomorrow will be a few degrees on either side of freezing. On Monday yet another storm system will approach the region but its track will be to the north and west of Ohio. Temperatures should moderate well into the forties (40's) with rain showers developing during the evening.
On Monday the region will be in the warm sector of a storm system passing well to the north. The system will move a cold front through the area which will be accompanied with rain showers. High temperatures should warm into the lower fifties(50's) before the front moves through.
On Tuesday the cold front will be well to the east of the region. Unlike previous cold fronts this one will not bring modified Arctic from Canada. High temperatures on Tuesday will be in the lower forties (40's). High pressure will move slowly east through the end of the week and will maintain quiet but cool weather. Expect high temperatures to rise a couple degrees on Wednesday and Thursday.
On Friday a storm system will move into the Plain States while high pressure maintains control over the Great Lakes region. Weather conditions will remain dry locally as high temperatures rise into the lower fifties (50's).
