Forecast Discussion
A strong cold front moved through our area overnight this previous Sunday into Monday morning that has brought us significantly cooler temperatures and our first freeze of the season, closing the growing season. It is possible we will get our first hard (<28F) freeze of the season either tonight or tomorrow night but this remains unlikely with higher probabilities in elevated areas or in depressions in elevated areas (>900ft). Frost is likely Thursday morning and possible though less likely Friday morning. Fog is also possible in particular in areas near the Hocking river. Northwesterly winds bringing moisture from Lake Erie also bring the possibility of flurries overnight Wednesday or in the early morning Thursday. Accumulation of any flurries is very unlikely. Although a low pressure system is currently intensifying off of the east coast it is unlikely to impact Athens County and high pressure is expected to build for the remainder of the week that will allow warmer temperatures to build resulting in a gradual warmup. No additional precipitation is expected in the next week. Our current solar pattern remains active however no major events are expected to bring impacts in the next 3 days. Drought persists as of this forecast.
