After a perfect start to the workweek, we’ve seen gloomy weather return to the forecast today. The skies have been overcast throughout the day so far, with spotty showers. Despite the gloomy weather, temperatures have warmed back to the upper 60s and low 70s! Clouds cleared out during the evening commute, which lead to partly cloudy skies for the remainder of the day. Clouds will increase after midnight, as scattered showers and storms will return during the later parts of the overnight. An isolated storm could turn strong to severe late tonight, as all modes of severe weather are possible. However, damaging winds will be the primary threat.

The Storm Prediction Center has the entire viewing area under a marginal risk of seeing severe weather, which is a level 1 out of 5 on the scale. As scattered showers and storms continue throughout Wednesday, those storms will be in a more favorable environment for severe weather.

Lows by Thursday morning will only be in the low 30s, with highs only reaching the mid 40s! Lingering moisture will bring cloudy skies Thursday morning, with snow flurries.

Clouds will increase Thursday night, as a low track through the Great Lakes on Friday. The low will bring scattered rain and snow showers for parts of Friday, but overall, the day looks dry and cloudy.

The system will taper off by Saturday morning, but another low will be approaching from the west, keeping those skies mostly cloudy. A spotty wintry mix also can’t be ruled out on Saturday. A low-pressure system will move through the Midwest on Sunday, bringing cloudy skies throughout the daytime hours. Late on Sunday, a cold front will bring scattered showers and a few storms across southeastern Ohio. The front will taper off overnight, allowing another major drop in temperatures. With moisture still lingering, the rain will transition to snow by Monday morning. Lows by Monday morning will fall back to the mid-30s, with highs only in the upper 30s! Scattered snow showers are possible throughout Monday, thanks to lake effect moisture. Lake effect moisture will linger on Tuesday, keeping those skies cloudy with snow flurries.
