Synopsis:
Low pressure will trek from the Ohio Valley to our region Thursday. It looks to be cold enough for a mix of snow and sleet and the onset very late tonight. A minor accumulation is possible during the morning hours on Thursday. It’s not a lot of snow, but the sleet and spotty freezing rain that will fall will add to hazardous travel. The frozen precipitation will go over to rain for Thursday during the mid-morning hours. The precipitation will taper off toward Noon. Readings will pop above freezing first at the coast during the morning, then inland by midday.
The sun will return on Friday as high pressure influences the region.
Saturday now looks to be dry. Sun will give way to increasing clouds during the afternoon. On Saturday night, another low will move toward the region from Ohio Valley. The potential exists for a mixed bag at this time. This system has the looks of its predecessor. Some accumulation is possible.
Skies should clear Sunday with readings several degrees above the average high of the upper 30s.
Monday will be sunny and colder as high pressure moves in from the Northwest.
We are in an active weather period through next week.
Stay tuned.
