Storms Turn to Snow

I just wanted to briefly address the chance for snow tomorrow. I don't think it'll be a very serious threat, but the threat is still there.

After thunderstorms last night, temps in the 60s and a general feeling of Spring yesterday, we fell back to reality today. Typical transition period for us here in Central Ohio.

A southern low will make its way toward the east coast tomorrow, putting areas south of US22 in a favorable spot for periods of moderate snowfall. We should stay in a pretty steady temperature zone here in Central Ohio, never really dropping lower than the upper 20s or higher than the low 30s in the next 24 hours. So snow may fall, but the general accumulation should be limited to grassy areas, with some slush in heavier snow.

The NAM probably still over does the accumulation:

I would be surprised if southern Ohio actually got cold enough to accumulate this much snow, but flakes will be flying heavier in that area.

For us in Central Ohio, I bet we may get half an inch on grassy areas. The one exception may be in southern Fairfield County where they'll be closer to the higher QPF.
