A fast moving cold front will slide into Ohio late on Valentine's Day. Ahead of the system, temperatures should go up into the lower 40s. Precipitation should hold off until the afternoon rush hour. When it does arrive, it will be a mix of light rain and light snow. Roads will get a little slick as you begin your evening excursions.
