Discussion
A strong low pressure system will head towards the Ohio Valley on Thursday, but eventually, it’ll take a back seat to the main player which will become a powerful ocean storm just off the Mid-Atlantic coastline. As a result of developing high-latitude blocking to our north, this storm will be a slow-mover and it is likely to bring rain and increasing winds to the local area from later Thursday into early Friday. As colder air wraps into the storm later Friday, there may be a changeover to snow and accumulations are possible; especially, in higher elevation locations. The snow threat would be in the late Friday/Friday night time period.
