Is Winter just around the corner?

This is AccuWeather's temperature outlook for mid-January.

   Good question.  As the mild weather continues through the middle part of this week, there are signs that a return to more normal winter weather is just around the corner.  Those meteorologists who key in on the upper level atmospherics are seeing lots of changes taking place and we think that is finally going to set us up for more normal winter weather.
   Colder air will move into the area the end of this week. As it does, a period of lake effect snow could set up on Friday, but I think the winds are going to be a bit too westerly for us to get anything morning than a couple of inches if that. Areas along I-90 east of Cleveland may see much more.
   After that, by the middle of next week it looks like the mercury will settle down to daytime highs in the low to mid 30s with an occasional push into the 40s. Along with the colder temperatures then, we should start to see some actual snow systems develop and move through the Great Lakes. Hang in there winter snow enthusiasts. Your day is coming.
