The previous map shows a low-pressure system located over South Dakota. A warm front will extend from the system and reach over the Ohio River Valley, this will be our source of precipitation this evening. Not much rain is expected.

Dry then Snowy Tuesday

That overnight warm front is going to warm things up for the day with a high temperature expected to reach nearly 60°. Winds will start off calm then speed up as the cold front rolls in at night. Along with the cold front is a chance of precipitation.

The NAM model is showing a freezing line plunging over a great portion of the Midwest and Ohio River Valley on Tuesday night. The scattered precipitation will result in snow throughout that time. Probably a good night to stay indoors and watch a movie!

Wednesday

Snow chances continue into Wednesday morning and slowly decrease as the sun comes out. Have a heavier jacket handy; the highest temperature for the day is expected to hit the low 40s. A rain shower is a possibility that afternoon. Wednesday night won’t get any better; temperatures will drop into the 20s.
