Discussion
An active weather pattern will produce a freezing rain threat around here from later today into early tomorrow and a heavy rain event from tomorrow night into early Friday. A strong cold frontal passage in the overnight hours has resulted in a dramatic drop in temperatures from yesterday’s warmer-than-normal levels and they should drop to near the freezing mark later tonight. This same front will then push back to the north as a warm front later tomorrow and pave the way for a strong low pressure system to generate some heavy rainfall around here from tomorrow night into early Friday and the possibility of flash flooding. Yet another low pressure system will move eastward from the Ohio Valley this weekend and it could generate some snow here from Saturday night into early Sunday.
