Overview
- Forecasters call for a sunny, above‑normal Valentine’s Day across many areas, with highs commonly in the 40s and 50s, including around Washington, D.C., Cincinnati and Louisville.
- A fast‑moving system brings showers late Saturday night through Sunday morning, with locally heavy rain in some southern and central zones and totals near or above an inch in parts of the Louisville area.
- Most places trend drier by Sunday afternoon, with the wetter, steadier rain focused farther south while northern fringes, such as near Pittsburgh, see lighter or spottier showers.
- Colder pockets could see brief wintry weather on the edges, including a short-lived mix north and west of D.C. and a Sunday night to Monday snow‑shower chance south and east of Boston.
- Rain and milder air will accelerate melting and clear remaining snow and salt, and Western Pennsylvania forecasters flag minor flooding or ice‑jam concerns next week as a sustained thaw pushes highs into the 50s and some locales approach 60.
