Big warm-up coming

"Oh, yeah!"
"Here we go with a touch of summer!"
"I like what I'm seeing!"

A warm front is going to push through the state once we get rid of that upper level LOW that's been plaguing us the early part of this week. The showers and the clouds will finally pull out of eastern Ohio on Wednesday night setting us up for sunny days beginning Thursday and continuing into Sunday. 

The big news, however, is going to be the daytime highs. We'll see a modest warming on Thursday, then a big spike into the 70s for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.  We should cool back into the 60s the first part of next week.

So, get out the summer attire and enjoy the upcoming weekend!

It's sort of like déjà vu

It's sort of like déjà vu! No, seriously! As we head into the start of this next week, it's going to seem very much like last week. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are going to be rather cool and damp. Then as we head into the weekend, the sun will come out and temperatures will warm up again.

The culprit this week will be a wet, slow-moving LOW pressure system that will move into the Ohio Valley the beginning of the week, then head north across western and central Ohio before camping out around Lake Erie for a short time. Finally, late Wednesday the system will move away. In the meantime, its going to be cloudy and rather damp.

So, once again, as we start off the week, we can only hold onto hope that things will be better come Friday.  And they will.  :-)

Enjoy!

Normal at last!

Ahhhh...finally I think we are going to have a fairly normal week. Our normal daytime highs should be in the mid 50s and I think we are going to be right around that all week long. A slow moving LOW pressure system will kick in a chance for some showers and slightly cooler temperatures around midweek, but that looks like the only problem for the next several days. After that snow last week, I think you're gonna like this week a bit more.

Enjoy!

Not so nice of a week ahead

Whereas this past week was fairly nice temperature-wise, that will not be the case as we start off  this coming week. A storm system heading up the Ohio Valley late Sunday will usher in some very cold air compared to what we have experienced recently. Temperatures Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday will "smack us in the face" as daytime highs will hang  out in the upper 30s and lower 40s. And, yes, we will likely see flurries and snow showers.  The good news is that this cold air outbreak will be short-lived. By Thursday we will begin to warm up again and as we head into Easter weekend temperatures will rebound into the 50s. Spring is like this you know...wild temperatures swings and weird weather patterns.
