A stretch of late-February chill is settling over northwest Ohio, bringing clouds, scattered flurries and a gradual warmup by midweek. After a gray and breezy start, temperatures will slowly rebound before another round of rain moves in later in the week. Here’s what students at Bowling Green State University (BGSU) can expect from Monday through Sunday.
Monday: Overcast skies stick around with a few flurries possible, as highs reach about 33 degrees Fahrenheit before dipping to around 20 degrees overnight. It will feel colder with a steady northwest breeze, so bundle up for the walk across campus. Evening skies gradually turn partly cloudy as temperatures fall into the lower 20s.
Tuesday: Cold but quiet conditions continue, with highs climbing into the mid 40s and a chilly low near the mid 20s. Expect a mix of sun and clouds, making it a brighter day for heading between classes. The calmer weather should make for easier travel around Bowling Green.
Wednesday: A noticeable warmup arrives with highs reaching the mid to upper 50s and lows in the upper 30s. Clouds increase late in the day as rain showers begin to develop by Wednesday night . It is a good idea to grab an umbrella before evening activities.
Thursday: Periods of rain continue with highs holding in the mid to upper 50s and overnight lows in the low 40s. Skies remain mostly cloudy, keeping campus damp and gray. Puddles and breezy conditions could make for a soggy commute to early classes.
Friday: Cooler air starts to filter back in with highs slipping toward the upper 40s and lows near the lower 30s . Lingering clouds may give way to partial clearing later in the day. It will feel brisk again by evening, so a jacket will be necessary for any nighttime plans.
Saturday: Temperatures trend downward with highs near the upper 30s to around 40 degrees and lows falling into the mid 20s. A few light flurries cannot be ruled out as colder air settles in. Sidewalks could become slick if any snow briefly sticks.
Sunday: The cold pattern holds with highs in the mid 30s and lows in the 20s. Skies remain partly to mostly cloudy, keeping that wintry feel in place. It will be a chilly end to the week, but quieter conditions should make it manageable for studying and preparing for the week ahead.
Overall, this week at BGSU features a cold start, a midweek taste of spring and a return to winterlike chill by the weekend. Keep the layers handy and be ready for both rain and the possibility of light snow as February wraps up.
