...SYNOPSIS...
 
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE REGION...WILL CREATE DRY AND MOSTLY
SUNNY CONDITIONS FOR TODAY. TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE AREA TODAY WILL
GENERALLY RANGE IN THE UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S.  THE HIGH WILL ALLOW
FOR A SEASONABLY CHILLY NIGHT TONIGHT...AS IT STARTS TO DRIFT OFF TO
THE EAST.
 
SATURDAY WILL BE DECEPTIVELY MILD...WITH TEMPERATURES GETTING A BIT
HIGHER THAN TODAY...EVEN AS HIGH CLOUDS INCREASE.  A COLD FRONT WILL
CROSS THE AREA LATE SATURDAY...BUT IT IN AND OF ITSELF WILL BRING NO
PRECIPITATION.
 
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL TRACK SOUTH OF THE AREA LATE SATURDAY
NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY.  THE PRECIPITATION MAY START AS RAIN LATE
SATURDAY NIGHT...BUT AS THE LOW HELPS TO PULL DOWN THE COLDER AIR
BEHIND THE COLD FRONT ON SUNDAY...PRECIPITATION WILL TRANSITION TO
SNOW THROUGHOUT THE AREA BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON.  THERE IS A HIGH
CERTAINTY FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW IN WEST VIRGINIA...EASTERN KENTUCKY
AND SOUTHEAST OHIO...BUT A DECREASING PROBABILITY IN EAST CENTRAL
OHIO...WHERE THE NORTHERN EDGE WILL SET UP.
 
HIGH PRESSURE WITH CHILLY WEATHER WILL FOLLOW EARLY NEXT WEEK.
