The weather looks relatively quiet until we get to just beyond Thanksgiving. At that point in time, Lake effect snow will begin in Ernest. In fact, this may be the largest, most significant lake effect event that we have seen in Northeast Ohio in quite a few years. Monitor this situation especially if you live in Lake, Geauga, or Ashtabula county.
It was the first accumulating snow for many backyards in NEOhio thanks to an impressive cold pool that wills opened the next 24 hours in the Ohio Valley.
Here are a few photos from Geauga County this morning.
The snow in my garden arrived right on time, that is, right after my final harvest:
Current regional radar:
Early in the week, we anticipate temperatures to remain a little above normal. Essentially, we’re talking about highs in the 50s. However, we anticipate a pattern shift too much colder by the end of the week.
In fact, it may be cold enough for much of the area to see snow showers for the first time this season.
There’s no avoiding it… the next system was slow to move in, and will be just as slow to move out. The heaviest rainfall, however, will be to our south.
After that, a progressive shift to much colder may result in some snow as we approach Thanksgiving.
Just look how much USA real estate is completely clear on the Friday!

While it still feels muggy right now, just look at all of the dry air to our west getting ready to zoom in!
The air will have a completely different feel by Wednesday.
Helene was “gobbled up” by an upper low a few days ago.
As a result, the combined recalcitrant low set up sjop just to our southwest, sending waves of showers into Ohio. Note how the moisture slowly disappears over the first few days of the work week.

The eye of Hurricane Helene is now showing up on Tampa NEXRAD:
Helene is expected to be a Category 4 hurricane at landfall late Thursday. Listen for an update on Heartfelt Radio at 7:20 AM as I join Brian Brooks LIVE.
