Here we go Again
Posted by ns62590 on February 25, 2008
Enjoy today because tonight and tomorrow’s weather will be problematic. We will be dealing with another winter storm, bringing freezing rain, snow, sleet and rain to the Mahoning Valley. Before I get to the details as of the morning model runs, I will remind you that today’s weather will be very pleasant for the end of February. Partly cloudy skies early will transition to mostly cloudy this afternoon and evening as the storm moves in. Temperatures will be near 40 degrees.
Morning runs of the models are becoming more favorable for snow lovers, worse for those who hate winter weather. At first it appeared that the storm would be all rain, but now expect snow too. This forecast may have to be modified later today if the models remain consistent on this formula. Right now, I am going to go with a mix of rain, snow, and even a chance of freezing rain overnight, then transitioning to all rain Tuesday morning, before going back over to snow Tuesday afternoon. 2 to 3 inches of snow is possible. However, for places along Lake Erie 4 to 9 inches are possible, and the National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for these areas. It should be noted, however, there are no winter weather alerts in effect for the Youngstown area……..yet.
Stay tuned for my afternoon update around 6pm this evening as I check the models again. Until then, enjoy the afternoon and take advantage of the nice temperatures for one more day.
