spring. doesnt it feel springlike . yes, hanging in there it is nice and warm and we have rain and now we will flip it back around we technically are in winter. astronomically speaking will start with the wind speeds this is the forecast and the wind will pick up. as we head to the next four hours or so look at how the wind picks up and change direction we will have the northwest wind and it will be a cold wind and sustained winds anywhere from 1525 with gusts over 30 miles an hour likely up lake shore will likely be the heaviest heading past the midnight hour. you can see the lakeshore area seeing sustained winds 2030 and the gusts around 40 miles an hour. further to the south slightly less as far as the wind gusts go but as we head into the Early Morning all of us should start to see the high wind gusts subside. you will hear the wind tonight and you will see that the temperature will drop as the wind picks up. the rain will change to snow later this evening as the cold air wrap thin and it the westerly to northwesterly wind will start to impact things as far as the temperature change. we are still dealing with rain the temperatures are well into the 40s and 50s for the south. the darker green changing into yellow is for the heavier rain showers are. heading farther east you need to keep in mind that the radar beam gets colder and we are likely seeing a little bit of snow elevated on their as you you see how it is circular the pattern that shows up is along the beam with it looks like that is probably what is going. to the west we have breaks coming in. people have pledges of dry air trying to wrap into the system as well but you cant help seat for the changeover is to the west as we go from rain over to snow. a small window for freezing rain but it doesnt look like it will be significant for us. what will be significant is not only the temperatures and the wind but the abrupt switch to the white stuff on the ground we are likely to have a coating by the start of the day tomorrow. on the backside is dry air once it moves through we will see some clearing and that will come our way in the afternoon. watch out for the temperatures because we are likely to only see temperatures in the 20s as we head through the day tomorrow. keep in mind the wind will be with us so we are probably in the low teens. the rain will change to snow i 71 corridor and the west will be in the snow we will get into the snow showers heading to the midnight hour bridgers crashing into the 20s and the wind switches around to help kick in lake moisture and we will have lake enhanced snow showers continuing through the morning commute. as of now we dont expect major impact but keep in mind we have rain falling down and temperatures dropping and that means the possibility of ice spots especially present overpasses and also the steps and porches tomorrow morning. by afternoon we will see the snow clear out and see sunshine how much snow . dont get too excited a be an inch or two in the enhanced areas we may have 3 inches it will be slushy stuff. temperatures in the 20 tomorrow risk with keeping the wind chills down and the forecast brings another round of snow our way for thursday with one4 inches falling. keep in mind its only one4 inches. 20s for friday and by saturday another round of snow coming in. no accumulation potential on that one. that projecting yet but we will keep an eye on that. late weekend we will clear it out. next week looks warm. thanks, betsy. coming up baseball is back as the indians open up exhibition play this
