Forecast Discussion

A shortwave trough and surface low have already begun to impact the southeast Ohio region as a cold front will ignite scattered rain showers into the late evening. Most of the shower activity will occur ahead and along the front where the most moisture lies as it treks southeast. We will get a brief break from the rain during the day Wednesday as surface high pressure briefly builds, but yet another system will bring a round of showers and gusty winds. This system will consist of a deepening low pressure system bringing a cold front through which will more than likely stall out. The bulk of precipitation will occur Thursday morning and taper off by the afternoon as the system pushes off to the east. Temperatures will be quite mild on Thursday while we are in the warm sector of this deepening low, with highs near 70 in some spots! Winds will accompany these warm temperatures with a tightening pressure gradient present, with possible wind gusts up to 25mph Thursday afternoon and into the evening. Cooler temperatures will then arrive and rebound to around average once again.

A similar pattern will occur on Friday, with most of the day being dry, but by Friday night, another shortwave trough will send a cold front into the area Friday night, bringing chances for rain and possibly a wintry mix if conditions are met. However, this is not expected to be a significant event, with high pressure building back into the area for a dry Saturday and Sunday.
