We are going to see more cloud cover push into the area overnight and into Tuesday and we'll be right around freezing overnight, which is slightly above average for the season.
Tuesday will be predominantly dry with mostly cloudy skies and a south wind at 5 to 10 mph. There's a chance for a few isolated showers north of the city, but the chances are better into central Ohio. Warmer air will push the afternoon highs into the upper 40s!

Wednesday will be warmer again with temperatures into the low 50s, but under mostly cloudy skies again. There will be a chance for some scattered showers in the afternoon, but it doesn’t look like it will be too impactful. Winds from the south will supply us with more of that moisture into the evening.

Our heaviest rain this week will be on Thursday as a cold front passes into the Tri-State. That front brings us rain by daybreak and could even bring the potential for a few thunderstorms as well. Gusty wind swill be possible as the storms come through, but nothing severe is expected with this here in the Tri-State. A half inch of rain is possible for most areas as this passes through.

As we head into the late evening on Thursday and overnight into Friday, after the cold front passes, we will see the colder air move in and change the rain over to a wintry mix and then snow showers. It is still too early to talk about snow totals, but there is potential for a small accumulation into Friday. This will become much clearer as we get closer to the day itself. From there, it looks chilly for Friday and Saturday with highs in the 30s. However, the weekend looks dry.
