FORECAST DISCUSSION:
High pressure centered north of the area is keeping us dry this morning. So we are cold and dry to start the day. Cold will stick around but by late this afternoon dry will go by the wayside. A Storm Team 4 Weather Alert starts at noon. Light snow will move into the state from west to east in Ohio and could make driving difficult for the afternoon rush through tomorrow. We can expect about one-half inch in Columbus today. A mix of rain and snow will be possible around and south of the Ohio River. Today’s high will be in the mid-20s.
The snow will gradually focus more on southern Ohio by tomorrow morning. Accumulations of a half-inch are likely tonight. Some surfaces may become slippery overnight with temperatures tumbling into the teens, around 18 in Columbus.
There will be more chances of light snow tomorrow. Friday will be dry. Highs will be in the mid-upper 20s both days. New snow accumulations of 1-3 inches are likely.
It looks like it will be much colder this weekend with an Arctic blast that will drop lows into the single digits and highs to the teens by Sunday and Presidents Day.
Have a happy Hump Day!
