High pressure south of the Ohio River will move east Thursday. That will start a return flow of warmer southerly air into the region. By Thursday afternoon, temperatures will be in the 30-degree range.
A cold front drops into the area with a chance of a few snow showers Thursday night.
Temperatures will continue to rise Saturday as the same front creeps northward as a warm front drawing more moisture into the Buckeye State.
Despite the welcome change in weather, there will still be a few snow showers in the coming days. It can still put a lot of Delaware, OH roofing systems at risk. To avoid any possibility of sustained damage to your roof, it is imperative that you take proactive measures.
