LATE EVENING OHIO WEATHER STORY
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
949 PM EST WED DEC 22 2010

A WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE AND AN ASSOCIATED AREA OF LOW 
PRESSURE PROVIDED MUCH OF OHIO WITH LIGHT SNOW TODAY.  ACCUMULATIONS 
ALL ACROSS THE STATE WERE LIGHT...WITH THE HIGHEST VALUES OF AROUND 
AN INCH REPORTED IN THE NORTHERN PART OF THE STATE.  HIGH 
TEMPERATURES RANGED FROM THE LOWER 30S IN THE NORTH...TO THE MID 30S 
IN THE SOUTH.  THESE VALUES ARE STILL ABOUT 5 DEGREES BELOW AVERAGE 
FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.

DESPITE A FEW LINGERING FLURRIES...MOST OF THE SNOW HAS PUSHED OFF 
TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA.  CLEAR SKIES ARE CURRENTLY BEING 
REPORTED IN NORTHWESTERN OHIO...AND EXPECT THESE CLEAR SKIES TO 
CONTINUE WORKING SOUTHEAST OVERNIGHT.  IN AREAS THAT DO SEE A BREAK 
IN THE CLOUDS...TEMPERATURES WILL DROP OFF QUICKLY TONIGHT.  EXPECT 
THAT MOST OF WESTERN OHIO WILL BOTTOM OUT IN THE UPPER TEENS...WHILE 
EASTERN OHIO WILL REMAIN IN THE MIDDLE 20S DUE TO THE CONTINUED 
CLOUD COVER.  

HIGH PRESSURE WILL DOMINATE THE WEATHER ON THURSDAY AND CONTINUE ITS 
PRESENCE THROUGH THE WEEKEND.  THIS MEANS THAT CONDITIONS WILL STAY 
DRY...BUT CHILLY.  THE ONLY EXCEPTION TO THE DRY WEATHER WILL BE IN 
FAR SOUTHERN OHIO...WHERE AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE PASSING TO THE 
SOUTH MAY GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO PROVIDE A FEW LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS ON 
FRIDAY.  OTHERWISE...NORTHERLY WINDS WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES IN THE 
UPPER 20S TO LOW 30S THROUGH THE WEEKEND.  

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IS EVALUATING THIS PRODUCT FOR POSSIBLE 
DISCONTINUATION. IF YOU ARE A REGULAR USER OF THIS PRODUCT...PLEASE 
CONTACT GARY GARNET AT 216-265-2372 AND PROVIDE COMMENTS BY JANUARY 
31ST, 2011
