.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Temperatures will rise some on Thursday, so any wintry mix
early on will transition to a chance of rain/snow. Highs will
range from the lower 30s north to the lower 40s south.

A fast-moving s/wv is still poised to move quickly west to east
across the Great Lakes Thursday night into Friday. This feature
will perturb a wave of low pressure which will track northeast
through the middle and upper Ohio Valley. As it does, a decent
shot of moisture and lift on a fairly strong low level
jet/convergence zone will spread pcpn quickly northeast from
late Thursday afternoon into Thursday evening. Pcpn will then
continue overnight, eventually tapering off from west to east on
Friday morning. Models have trended a little warmer not only
near the surface but aloft as well. As a result, the wintry mix
zone is now expected to be along/near the I-70 corridor with
mainly snow across far west central Ohio. Farther south, mainly
rain will occur Thursday night, with heavier rain possible
across our southeast zones. Snow/sleet accumulations along/near
the I-70 corridor will be an inch or less, with perhaps one to
two tenths of ice accretion. Farther north, some mix is
possible, but snow is expected to be the main p-type. Snow
accumulations will range from 1 to 3 inches. Overall, this looks
like an advisory winter situation in terms of impacts. Will
continue to make mention of all hazards in the HWO. Lows
Thursday night will range from the lower 20s northwest to near
40 far southeast. Not much rise is expected on Friday with post
CAA air. Highs on Friday will range from near 30 northwest to
the lower 40s southeast.

Definitely how far south low level cold will penetrate for frozen precip. Upper level warmth seems pretty locked overall. 

I agree. 850s are too warm for snow here, shoot even sleet with the main onslaught. Its either rain or ZR.

This system really feels like the beginning of the end of winter. 

Yeah I agree, thats why I'm even more entrenched in embracing ice. Looking at the long range. This takes us deep in to "lotto storm" time-frame around here. Whatever falls usually lasts 2-3 days max. March around here is more snowy than the public thinks so its hilarious every year when people go up in arms every time it snows🤦‍♂️

The March 2008 blizzard where we got 20" lasted exactly one week.  Incredible how fast it was gone.

I wonder if those are computer generated somehow. I tend to ignore them either way.

Yep - I'm almost certain they are- they seem to change after every new model cycle & are rarely accurate. I'm surprised NWS uses/puts out such subpar data.

Agreed...

Maybe someone on here can give some insight.  I would like to know how the point&click forecasts as well as the maps are generated.  I brief .ppt/slide show posted by one of the WFOs would be great.

They actually mention in the AFD their north and western counties staying all snow which is absolutely bogus unless they buy the UK and 12z ecm. Hey id love all snow but come on
