The storm that was supposed to put us in the warm air Friday looks to be doing the opposite. A front will stall near the Ohio river, putting northern Ohio in the cold sector. Cold enough for snow, it appears. Surface temps may be just a little to warm especially during the day Thursday but overnight Thursday night it will get cold enough for all snow, and perhaps a thin stripe of 4-7" between the lake shore and areas about 20 miles inland...most of it falling Thursday night. So, how will this system evolve? A wave of low pressure and precip will move towards Ohio tonight. Most of it will be rain, but north of I-80 especially there could be snow mixed in. Around 1" of accumulation is possible by tomorrow morning. Tomorrow wave one of low pressure/precip will move through. Most of it will be rain, but north of I-80 it could occasionally mix with snow especially early in the morning and late in the afternoon. No accumulations, as temps will range from 35-45 across northern Ohio to 55-60 near the Ohio river, with 45-55 in between, a large temp range, and too warm for snow to accumulate anywhere. Just a note a bit of a break in the precip is expected tomorrow afternoon. Thursday night is when things get interesting. Surface temps will cool to the lower 30s across northern Ohio, and even the mid to upper 30s in central Ohio, so northern Ohio will change to all snow and even down to near Dover/New Philly, and Findley it could mix with snow. Most accumulating snow will be Thursday Night, with 3-6" across far northern Ohio with a dusting as far south as areas like Canton. Friday morning things wind down but up to 1" of snow is possible Friday morning. Like usual, the track of the low is key. It tracks farther south and we have more snow, farther north much less snow. Stay tuned as this forecast may change over the next 24 hours.
