Spring Rains, Wet Snow Next Week?

I'm back from a few days off last week bringing in more rain!  At least its not snow....not yet anyway. Here are the current radar images for northern Ohio and the Ohio Valley. CLICK HERE for the current RADAR LOOP.



Rainfall will be between 1/2 and 3/4" with locally heavier amounts by Tuesday mid morning.



It should come as no surprise that the long range outlook for next week is STILL showing temperatures cold enough for wet snow. Notice how next week's cold is very similar to the last time we had 2 or more inches of snow in mid April.

Heavy Rain: Current Radar, Rainfall Estimates, NEXT WEEK'S COLD

The cold, steady rains continue. Current radar loops close up over northern Ohio and around the Great Lakes along with rainfall estimates tell the story. Remember that over a week ago, I hinted at a well below normal period during the second week of April. Since this is late in the season, colder periods don't typically last more than a few days. This one next should follow that rule of thumb pretty well. However, it might get cold enough for at the very least, melting snow!
