DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1)
A clipper moves through the Ohio Valley on Friday bringing precipitation to the region, likely in the form of light snow. The best chances for accumulating snow exist across the Columbus metro and north of I-70 with 1 or 2 inches possible. Elsewhere, around an inch or less is more likely. The impacts from the snow may be somewhat limited as the heaviest snow is forecast to fall during the afternoon. A combination of warm temperatures near or above freezing and solar insolation should aid with melting on exposed surfaces. If impacts do develop, they would likely be limited to before sunrise or after sunset.
KEY MESSAGE 2)
After the clipper moves through on Friday, temperatures drop behind a cold front on Friday night. Wind chill values may drop as low as minus 5 for locations along and north of I-70 late Friday night and Saturday morning. Although conditions will be slightly warmer and calmer on Saturday night, wind chills could approach zero once again along and north of I-70.
KEY MESSAGE 3)
Above normal temperatures are likely to develop over the region beginning on Tuesday. This will lead to a temperatures finally making it consistently above freezing.
