WIND GUSTS FOR TUESDAY.

DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1)
CONTINUED THE FREEZE WARNING ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL OHIO AND THE
FROST ADVISORY JUST WEST OF THE FREEZE WARNING. TEMPERATURES WILL
DROP OFF QUICKLY THIS EVENING WITH LIGHT WINDS AND MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES
EXPECTED. TEMPERATURES WILL DROP INTO THE 30S ACROSS MOST LOCATIONS
OVERNIGHT. AS THE NIGHT PROGRESSES WARMER AIR WILL START TO MOVE INTO
THE AREA AND WINDS WILL START TO PICK UP. THIS WILL BE MORE
NOTICEABLE ACROSS WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE REGION. DUE TO THIS THERE
WILL BE LESS CHANCE FOR FROST ACROSS THE WEST. ACROSS THE EAST THERE
WILL BE A LACK OF MOISTURE SO FROST IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE WIDESPREAD,
BUT DO HAVE PATCHY TO AREAS OF FROST.
KEY MESSAGE 2)
SEVERAL SYSTEMS WILL BRING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE REGION.
ONE WILL MOVE THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. AN ACTIVE WEATHER
PATTERN IS EXPECTED OVER THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES EACH DAY. A SYSTEM MONDAY AFTERNOON
INTO MONDAY NIGHT IS EXPECTED TO BE STRONGER AND LEAD TO MORE OF A
PATTERN CHANGE.
