Weather Discussion 3/5/13

Interesting day here in northeast Ohio. The snow should stay just to the south of us tonight. With that said took down snow accumulations to around an inch at best. This system will deepen and then transfer its energy to an east coast storm. We have an upper level low that is racing towards southwest Ohio and as this happens we will see the best dynamics (upper level vort max and closed low) over the southwest portion of Ohio. Some areas could receive up to 8 or 9 inches. The rain is now turning over to snow and that will continue thought out the evening from northwest to southeast.  High pressure will build back in got the rest of the week. Could be seeing highs approaching 50 by Sunday for Cleveland and Cincinnati could reach 60. It will be a good week to get out and do outside actives like washing your car or going fishing with the kids. The next chance of rain will come late Sunday and into Monday.
