The weather has been incredibly active this week and that does not change this weekend! Get ready for the next round of rain and even some snow. It will be here within a few hours. Let’s time out the next round; we will discuss both rainfall and snowfall totals.
High pressure is in control to the north of Ohio, but clouds will hang tough on Saturday. Plan for temperatures in the 40s for most communities. There will be plenty of dry time this afternoon, but it is fleeting. An area of low pressure is moving into the Tennessee River Valley and will continue to push north toward Ohio on Saturday. This will bring widespread rain by this evening.
News 5 TIMING: Rain will start in our southern communities first. Plan for the first few light showers by the late afternoon (4-6 pm). Rain will spread north during the evening and become widespread.
