Hazardous Weather Outlook

Rain has currently moved into our region this morning as a stationary front is currently draped over us. Some of this rain will be heavy at times, so make sure to use extra caution during your morning commute. In addition to this, gusty winds will return as a pressure gradient tightens associated with the surface low and front. Thunderstorms will become more of a threat this afternoon as the cold front approaches, with the SPC having much of southeast Ohio in a marginal risk for severe weather and some western counties in a slight risk. The main threats will be damaging winds and heavy downpours, although an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out. After the cold frontal passage, cold air advection aloft will be prominent, dropping temperatures to at or just below freezing tonight. This will transition any lingering rain to snow, but no accumulation is expected. After a more active pattern, the weekend will be dry as high pressure builds into the region, with temperatures also back to around normal. Precipitation chances will return by early next week as a shortwave trough is forecasted to approach.
