THURSDAY WEATHER BRIEFING
GOOD MORNING TO YA,
The transition from rain to flurries and snow showers occurred on schedule early this morning although there is just not that much precipitation out there yet. We expect the midday and afternoon to be more active today and then the snow will taper to flurries early this evening.15 hour futurecast:
As we have been talking about, snow will have a hard time sticking, especially on paved surfaces, until late this afternoon and early this evening. The ground is warm and temperatures will be near or even a little above freezing until that point.Still there can be a burst of steadier, heavier snow at the start of rush hour that can cause some issues.

RESIDUAL FLOODING:
In the usual spots in southwestern Trumbull County, flooding concerns remain today. Flood Warning is up for Eagle Creek at Phalanx Station and the Mahoning River at Leavittsburg.
A COLD, CLOUDY FRIDAY
Temperatures will stay in the 20s and there will be some flurries around, mainly in the morning.
WHAT A WEEKEND!
Another great weekend on the way. Temperatures will get into the 40s in the wake of a warm front on Saturday and Sunday will feature readings in the 50s. Woooo!
The next cold front is on the way late Sunday night and early Monday with a chance for rain and snow showers. Does not look like a big deal.
LONG RANGE:
Early March looks "back and forth" with periods of mild and chilly weather but the colder days do not look all that extreme. Beyond that, we think mid-March is likely to be pretty mild.

Right on the money yesterday. Not happy with the 65% for the year so far...looking to get that over 70% in the next couple of weeks.
