Spring is Right Around the Corner...

We are only about half way through February, but when looking at the long range models I am already starting to sense that spring is not that far off...but before then: There will be a very strong area of low pressure that will track west of us Sunday/Sunday night. It will spread rain across the area Sunday, as we will be well in the warm sector of the storm. Monday however, we will change back to snow across most of Ohio, and we could see light accumulations, but no more than a couple inches, maybe locally 2-4" in the Snow Belt as there may be a little lake enhancement. Tuesday will remain cold with highs in the 20s state wide, with some light residual lake snows possible in the Snow Belt. Wednesday will be tranquil and seasonable temperature wise. And then enters the next system Thursday. There will be some warm advection rains along a warm front, as temps will be in the 40s on Thursday. Friday a low pressure system emerges into the Planes, and we remain damp but will warm well into the 50s for most of the state and southern Ohio may even see 60. Next Saturday it looks like a cold front will come through, and we will go from 60s to 30s, but the cold air will not be truly arctic and we likely won't get heavy lake effect with it. It then looks like the rest of February will be a bit spring like with some warmer air and less snow. It looks like after next weekend through the rest of February there may be no chances for heavy snow, but as always that could change...
