Drizzle, mild weather about to turn more wintry

Patchy drizzle will linger through this evening, with steady temperatures in the low to mid-40s. Colder air will filter into Ohio tonight, triggering a few rain showers, as readings dip into the low to mid-30s by daybreak.

A ripple in the flow behind a sagging cold front will bring a few periods of light rain and snow, with a light accumulation on grassy surfaces north of I-70. Readings will hover a little above freezing but feel colder with a northerly breeze.

A second disturbance will follow early Tuesday, with a greater likelihood of light snow before dawn in the southern half of the state creating slippery travel. Temperatures will tumble into the 20s.

Afternoon temperatures will rebound to seasonal levels (30s) the rest of the week, with a mix of clouds and sunshine. There will be another storm passing to our south on Thursday, followed colder air on Friday. Dry conditions are expected next weekend.
