.DISCUSSION...



KEY MESSAGE 1) 



An upper level shortwave trough and cold front approach the area on 

Friday. Ahead these features, WAA snowfall is possible across the 

area especially Friday morning. With light QPF forecast, and warming 

temperatures toward and above the freezing mark by the afternoon, 

overall snowfall totals should remain fairly light. The best chances 

for light accumulations are in central Ohio. Warming temperatures 

may also help keep any travel impacts on the lighter side especially 

during the afternoon. 



KEY MESSAGE 2) 



Another blast of arctic air moves in behind the aforementioned cold 

front on Friday night. Both Saturday and Sunday may feature periods 

with wind chills near or below zero especially during the morning 

hours. While confidence is fairly high on these cold temperatures 

occurring, confidence is also high that this is short-lived. More 

moderate temperatures and upper level ridging builds next week 

across the Ohio Valley.
