Wintry Weather

During the past week wintry weather blanketed much of the Eastern USA. Last weekend a major snow storm affect the South and during this past week a series of Alberta Clippers left a blanket of snow of across the northern tier. This weather pattern has allowed the coldest air of the young winter season to affect the Nation with subzero temperatures visiting the Great Lakes Region. This upcoming weekend will see the pattern relax with milder air affecting much of the nation

Today cold air continued to affect the Great Lakes Region as yet another clipper system dropped mainly light snows with heavy snow affecting areas downwind of the Great Lakes.  Locally after a cold start with low temps in the single digits high temperatures reached the upper 20's

Saturday another weak system will push east across the Eastern Great Lakes as warm air advection begins across the Eastern US. Locally snow will affect the extreme Northeast portion of Ohio with a few inches possible. High temperatures should moderate into the 30's. On Sunday temperatures will continue to moderate and light precipitation could affect Northern Ohio during the afternoon.

On Monday the arctic air will continue to retreat northward as the progressive pattern takes hold of the nation. Temperatures will continue to moderate across Northern Ohio as high temperatures rise into the 40's with a chance of rain.

Tuesday appears be the mildest day for the local region ahead of a cold front. High temps will rise well into the 40's and chances for rain will increase through the day. Cooler temperatures will return on Wednesday with high temperatures in the 30's.

On Thursday the next system will begin to take shape over the mid-section of the county. Mild air will spread north to the east of the system with high temperatures rising into the 40's for the local area.
