Discussion
A warm front pushed through the region last night and today will feature the mid-day arrival of a strong cold frontal system that can generate damaging wind gusts of up to 60 mph and isolated power outages. This strong cold front produced severe weather yesterday in the Ohio Valley and there can be damaging wind gusts around here both when a line of showers and storms arrives at mid-day and then following the frontal passage later this afternoon as temperatures drop and winds shift to NW from SW. Much colder air pushes in overnight and it’ll be windy and cold on Thursday. Low pressure will then trek southeastward on Friday across the Great Lakes and it’ll advance a cold front in our direction. That front will pass through the area by the early part of the weekend and usher in a very chilly air mass for this time of year. Low pressure may then form along the stalling out cold frontal boundary zone on Saturday and threaten us with accumulating snow. Stay tuned.
