Sunday morning, many looked out the window to seen some snow flakes mixing between rain drops. Not the sight we like to see coming off of some warmer weather a few days ago.

Above is an image from Storm Track 4D from 845 Sunday morning. You can see that, even though Erie was looking at a mix of rain and snow (the pink color on the radar), areas to the east were seeing just snow showers (the white on the radar).

The good news is that warmer, and drier weather is on the horizon. Here is a look at the GFSX model for the week ahead:

Just keep in mind that one of the biggest rules of forecasting is that you do not put your faith in one model, and this is just one model. I am using this just to illustrate the fact that better weather is expected during the week ahead. I highlighted the high and low expected temperatures for the week ahead.

Also, the weather can change a lot during the course of the week ahead, so check back to the Storm Team forecast at WSEE.tv often.
