Ohio Weather

Still some light flurries/freezing drizzle/fog across the northern portion of the area as of noon, so secondary streets could still remain slick through this afternoon. By later today tho, this light precip will end and the sun will shine at least a bit across all of Ohio. Tomorrow with the aid of a nice south wind temperatures will rebound well into the 40s, and across northern Ohio where there is anywhere from 2-12" of snow a lot of that will melt off under partly sunny skies. Late Tuesday a cold front approaches with the threat of rain and gusty winds by Tuesday afternoon, as temperatures out ahead of the front could push 50 across the southeastern portion on the state and will fall back to near or slightly bellow normal for Wednesday. As for the potential winter storm on Friday, the latest DGEX shows an all rain event. The GFS is a little colder and shows perhaps some ice/sleet to start on Friday then about a half inch of very cold rain. Again, this forecast for Friday could change so keep checking back for more details on if the models change or not. (BTW, the NWS in Cincinnati has a likely chance of snow changing to rain, and the NWS has a likely chance of snow/ice/rain mixed) Forecast Details: This Afternoon: Light wintry mix slowly ending. A few peaks of sun late especially western Ohio. High 31-38. Tonight: Partly cloudy. Cold. Patchy fog possible. Low 15-23. Wind chills colder than 10 Northeast. Monday: Partly sunny early becoming cloudier as the day goes on. A few showers possible west by evening. Breezy and mild. A lot of snow melt and some fog especially north and in the Snow Belt. High 40-47. Monday Night: Scattered showers, otherwise cloudy. Some fog possible in the Snow Belt. Mild. Low 33-37. Tuesday: Cloudy with an increasing threat for rain as the day goes on. Windy and mild. High 46-52. Tuesday Night: Rain before 2AM, with a rumble of thunder possible, then a slight chance of snow showers. Little or no accumulation, except for the Snow Belt where 1-3" could fall. Windy with gusts past 45MPH likely. Low 15-24. Wind chills could drop into the single digits. Another update after the 18z model runs.
