Good Friday and welcome to the last Friday of February. Old man winter made a return visit to the commonwealth overnight with a messy mix of sleet, freezing rain, snow and rain. Some areas picked up quite a bit of ice and that will impact the early morning commute for some. That’s now working off to our east and is being replaced by a good looking pattern for the weekend. Enjoy it… an extended period of winter returns next week.

Temps today will surge into the 50s on a gusty wind. Skies will become partly sunny, giving us a nice start to the weekend. Temps will come down into the low and mid 40s for highs Saturday as we keep a mix of sun and clouds. Sunday looks even better with readings nearing 50 with mostly sunny skies.

Temps will roll into the 50s for Monday as gusty winds crank up ahead of our next storm. Showers and thunderstorms will increase later in the day ahead of our wrapped up storm. MUCH colder air will sweep in for Tuesday and Wednesday with snow a possibility…

This will bring about a deep trough across the eastern part of the country as a major blocking develops for the middle and end of next week…

Not only is that a VERY cold pattern developing… it’s one that should also lead to several snow chances through early March. This may also bring a major storm into the Ohio Valley, at some point.

Have a great Friday and take care.
