| Scattered snow flurries and drizzle is expected over Stark County through the day Sunday with little or now new accumulation. The heavier snow will keep to the primary snow belt region through Tuesday. |
The last day of February will bring scattered snow flurries, drizzle, and above-freezing temperatures to Stark County
February finally ends today. The snowest February ever in Stark County with an official total of 37.2 inches of snow as of early this morning. The total snowfall for the entire winter season so far is 61.2 inches, so February brought us over half of out total winter season snowfall.
An upper level trough remains over the region today and will hang around into Wednesday bringing us some light snow flurries and drizzle for Sunday. Temperatures will get into the upper 30s over most Stark Communities this afternoon under overcast skies. Very little, if any, additional snow accumulations is expected.
Sunday night brings more of the same. A chance of snow flurries and maybe some freezing drizzle by Monday morning. Expect lows tonight in the mid 20s.
For Monday, the chance of snow and snow flurries diminish with only a slight chance of additional precipitation. Highs Monday will be right around 35 degrees. Skies will remain mostly cloudy thoughout the day.
There is a slight chance of snow flurries remains for Monday night with lows once again in the mid 20s.
Increased chances of snow showers increase for Tuesday and Tuesday night, but forecasters expect little or no accumulations.
Keep your fingers crossed for some sun to return to northeast Ohio Thursday and Friday. If the sun does show itself Thursday, it will be nearly two weeks since the last time we saw sunshine over Stark County.
