Sandusky, Ohio

The Great Lakes during a cold stretch in February, in the midst of some breezy conditions in the region. I have a pretty good guess on how things are going.

At 1053AM, ET, the Sandusky area was seeing clear skies and a temperature of 16 degrees. There were a few flurries throughout the region, thanks to lingering westerly winds. Another gnarly storm system is bringing heavy rain to the southeastern US. This is adding some moisture to the region, but by tonight, will inhibit flow into a trough moving into the region.
The trough is weak, and riding the front edge of a strong ridge in the center of the country. It will bring a few flurries to Sandusky overnight and into the early morning tomorrow. The wind in the area may lead to some lake effect flurries that last into the early afternoon, but high pressure will squash the moisture out of the region by Friday. Expect sunny skies as the weekend rolls in.

Given that it was -11 here this morning, the third double digit below zero morning in a row, it’s funny to see multiple outlets refer to the mid 20s as “cold”, needing to call it out like that. The radar shows an impressive amount of coverage, but it won’t add much in terms of accumulation.
