Behind Friday's cold front, temperatures will be dropping back toward average or below through the weekend and into next week. High pressure will be settling in across the upper Midwest and Great Lakes through early next week, working to prevent moisture from working Northward.
There is a better chance for snow locally Saturday, but the next system between Sunday and Monday has shown some Southerly trends. This low pressure will have more moisture to work with, but the blocking high pressure will "stop" abundant moisture from reaching this far North, essentially limiting widespread snow chances to areas South of I-80 for Sunday-Monday.
The bulk of passing weather systems over the next week will take similar tracks with much more broad and widespread precipitation chances across the Ohio River Valley, well to our South. A few systems may graze the area, but precipitation will not be widespread or long-lasting here locally.
A pattern change looks to be on the way starting mid to late next week. A more Southwest direction in the upper levels of the atmosphere will work to force a warmer and moisture-laden air mass our direction over the first week or two of March. There still could be snow chances in some of these systems, but the warmer pattern seems to suggest more rain than snow at this time.
