| Sunshine! could make an appearance over Stark County briefly Tuesday morning, but clouds and possibly some light snow showers will begin by afternoon thanks to a storm system making its way to Ohio. The storm should move out by Wednesday allowing for fair weather and sunshine to return through the weekend. |
After nearly two weeks of overcast skies and snow showers, our gloomy weather pattern will give way to some much-needed sunshine
High pressure is building in over the region this afternoon and will continue to make its presence known. There is an atmospheric battle going on between the high and moisture feeding off Lake Erie and Lake Huron. The result is some cloud cover that continues to hang around over the entire region. These will, hopefully, begin to dissipate later this evening and into the nighttime hours.
Temperatures should remain above freezing for tonight allowing for more of the snow pack and ice to melt. The warmer temps last night were probably due to the cloud cover and this is expected to help with temps again tonight.
Drier air will begin to punch into the region for Tuesday morning allowing for some sunshine to work its way through. The morning sun will be short lived, however, as an East Coast storm system begins to affect the region. Depending on temperatures, this system could bring a few light snow showers to the area in the afternoon. Temps are expected to remain above the freezing mark, so the snow may end up being drizzle or rain.
The storm pulls off the Atlantic Coast Wednesday allowing high pressure to become firmly entrenched over northeast Ohio by Thursday. This will bring a return to fair weather and the potential for some much-needed sunshine over all our Stark County communities.
Temperatures will generally be in the mid to upper 30s through the period with warmer temps accompanying the sunshine on Thursday. Highs Thursday and Friday will be in the lower 40s.
Fair weather and sunshine is forecast to remain over the region through Saturday night.
