Good morning. Ohio. I'm Aaron Jolly. That drizzle you woke up to? Already heading for the exits. Skies brighten west to east through midday. And by this afternoon. Here comes sunshine statewide. Perfect day to shake off the morning gloom. Down in Cincinnati, you'll hit 62 degrees under mostly sunny skies. Columbus tops out near 60. Up in Cleveland, patchy drizzle hangs around until 9 A.M., then sunshine takes over with highs near 61. West winds run 10 to 15 miles an hour across the northeast, lighter elsewhere. Tonight stays quiet. Mostly clear skies with lows in the low 40s statewide. Southwest winds pick up slightly. Monday brings wall-to-wall sunshine and warmer air. Highs climb to near 70 across the board — 71 in Cincinnati, 69 in Columbus, 70 in Cleveland. South winds 6 to 14 miles an hour. Great day to get outside if you ask me. Here's where things get interesting. Tuesday starts mild with highs in the mid-70s, but rain moves in by afternoon. Tuesday night through Wednesday is when the real action hits. A powerful storm system barrels through with heavy rain, thunderstorms. And gusty winds. We're talking wind gusts over 40 miles an hour Wednesday, even outside of storms. Severe weather is possible Wednesday afternoon. Rain totals could reach an inch or more, raising flooding concerns. Then comes the dramatic flip. Temperatures crash Wednesday night — from the 70s down to the 20s and 30s by Thursday morning. Rain transitions to snow showers behind the cold front. A quick inch or two is possible, especially across the northeast. Friday brings another system with a rain-snow mix and more gusty winds, particularly west of I-71. In Bottom line, enjoy the quiet weather today and Monday. Big changes arrive midweek. See you this afternoon.
Good morning. Ohio. I'm Aaron Jolly. What a wild ride today. You step outside to 63 degrees and sunshine, but don't get used to it. Here comes a May-like preview that vanishes overnight. Central Ohio is right in the thick of it. Thunderstorms roll in by 10 A.M., peaking around 1 P.M. With a solid chance of getting soaked. You'll hit 74 degrees today — 30 degrees above normal — before reality crashes back in. Winds shift, temps drop fast. And you wake up to 46 degrees on Sunday. At least the showers taper off after midnight. Down in Southwest Ohio, the drama starts earlier. Storms fire up by 9 A.M., keeping things wet between 10 A.M. and 4 P.M. You also top out near 75 degrees. That warmth disappears tonight, though, crashing to 46 degrees. Sunday looks quieter at 63 degrees, but more storms are waiting for Tuesday. Up in Northeast Ohio, it's a cooler but still stormy scene. Rain and thunderstorms take over by 8 A.M., sticking around through 9 P.M. Highs reach 70 degrees — still 30 degrees above normal. Southwest winds howl at 12 to 18 miles an hour, gusting to 29 miles an hour. Tonight, temps plummet to 41 degrees. And Sunday stays chilly at 56 degrees. Here's your heads-up for the week ahead. Monday feels like a reprieve with 60s and low 70s statewide. But by Tuesday night, the bottom drops out. Heavy rain and thunderstorms barrel in, with winds gusting to 45 miles an hour by Wednesday. Temperatures plummet 30 degrees. We could even see rain transition to snow up north Wednesday night, with lows near 30. If you're near Trumbull County, watch Eagle Creek closely. It's already running high, so never try to drive through flooded roads. Enjoy the daylight while you can — we're gaining 2 minutes and 38 seconds of sunshine today. See you tomorrow. See you this afternoon.
Good morning. Ohio. I'm Aaron Jolly. Step outside right now and you'll feel something rare for early March. Warmth that doesn't apologize. We bottomed out at 56 degrees overnight. That's generous. But we picked up over a third of an inch of rain in the last 24 hours. And flooding concerns are still hanging around southeastern counties. Dense fog is blanketing parts of the state this morning — visibility is dropping fast. That fog lifts by mid-morning as southerly winds kick in. Now here's where it gets interesting. We're flirting with record warmth today. Down in Cincinnati, you're climbing to 78 degrees. The record? 74, set back in 1910. Columbus hits 75. Up in Cleveland, you top out at 65. Skies clear out as the day goes on. And those southerly winds gust to 20 miles an hour. Tonight stays mild. Lows drop to the low 60s statewide under partly cloudy skies. Saturday brings the drama. A cold front barrels through with showers and thunderstorms. The severe threat is highest along and east of I-33 — central Ohio, the lower Scioto Valley, northern Kentucky. Damaging winds are the main concern, with an isolated tornado threat. The line moves fast, hitting around noon and clearing out by early evening. Behind it, temperatures crash. Saturday night lows fall to the mid-40s. Sunday clears out beautifully. Highs in the upper 50s to low 60s under mostly sunny skies. Monday brings sunshine and warmth again — low 70s statewide. But the unsettled pattern returns midweek. Rain moves in Tuesday night and continues through Wednesday. Heavy downpours could bring more flooding concerns with soils already saturated. Thursday stays chilly with highs only reaching the upper 40s to low 50s. Enjoy the warmth today. It won't last. See you tomorrow. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast See you tomorrow.
Good afternoon. Ohio. I'm Aaron Jolly. If you stepped outside this morning, you got drenched. Nearly an inch and a half of rain overnight turned roads into rivers and left puddles the size of small lakes. Right now, it's a muggy 60 degrees and still drizzling. In the next 24 hours. And we're not done yet. More showers and thunderstorms roll through this afternoon. Central Ohio takes the heaviest hit around 2 P.M. Northeast Ohio? You're soaked from noon straight through evening, picking up another half to three-quarters of an inch. Southwest Ohio gets thunderstorms peaking around 1 P.M., with gusty winds and another quarter to half inch on top of what already fell. Highs are all over the place today. Cleveland struggles to 54 degrees along the lake. Columbus hits 65. Cincinnati? A sticky 68. Flood watches stay in effect through early afternoon across southern counties. Creeks are running high. And low-lying areas are already saturated. If you see water over the road, turn around. Tonight, showers taper off after sunset. Patchy fog develops as temperatures hold steady — lows from 41 in Cleveland to 59 in Cincinnati. Friday flips the script. Morning fog clears, then we're looking at near-record warmth. Highs soar to 74 in Columbus, 78 in Cincinnati, 64 in Cleveland. That's 31 degrees to 31 degrees above normal for early March. Here's your heads-up for the weekend. Saturday brings another round of storms — strong to severe thunderstorms possible, especially during the afternoon. Highs in the low 70s before a cold front drops us back to reality Sunday. Expect mostly sunny skies and highs near 60. Sunshine holds Monday with highs near 68, then another storm system arrives Tuesday into Wednesday. Watch for standing water today. This much rain in 24 hours doesn't just disappear. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
Good morning. Ohio. I'm Aaron Jolly. That wasn't a dream. Rain hammered the state overnight, dumping over an inch in spots. And we're still in the thick of it. In the next 24 hours. Flood warnings are active for Noble County until 9 A.M. A flood watch blankets central and southwest Ohio through early afternoon. Creeks are running high and low spots are underwater.

You're already at 59 degrees with storms continuing through the day. Highs reach 68 degrees. Tonight stays mild at 59 degrees. Head north to Northeast Ohio and it's a completely different story. You're starting at 35 degrees with cold rain. Lake Erie is holding the cooler air hostage, keeping highs around 54 degrees. Tomorrow could flirt with records. Columbus is forecast to hit 74 degrees. The record is 76. Either way, we're talking May temperatures in early March. The weekend brings another round of storms Saturday, some potentially strong.

Good evening. Ohio. I'm Aaron Jolly. That damp chill in the air? It's the opening act of a soggy pattern setting up shop right over us. We've already picked up nearly two-tenths of an inch of rain. And the ground is basically a sponge that can't hold another drop. In the next 24 hours. Here's the scene right now. Southwest Ohio is sitting at 59 degrees under a thick blanket of gray. Central Ohio checks in at 53. But slide up I-71 toward the Lake Erie shore. And the thermometer drops to 42 degrees. That's where patchy dense fog is rolling in off the icy water. Tonight, a stationary front draped across the state turns into a conveyor belt for heavy rain. Central and Southwest Ohio will see showers and thunderstorms overnight, with another one to two inches possible. That's on top of already soaked ground. A Flood Watch remains in effect through Thursday afternoon for a large swath of central and southern Ohio. If you live near a creek or low-lying area, keep a close eye on the water levels. Thursday stays wet statewide. Northeast Ohio sees steady rain with highs near 54 degrees. Meanwhile. Central Ohio warms to 66 degrees. Down in Southwest Ohio, you're pushing toward 69 degrees with more rumbles of thunder. Then Friday gets wild. We could challenge records. Southwest Ohio soars to 78 degrees — that's roughly 39 degrees above normal for early March. Central Ohio hits 75 degrees. Even Northeast Ohio gets in on the warmth at 65 degrees. Saturday brings another round of storms as a cold front sweeps through. Behind it, reality returns with temperatures crashing into the 40s Saturday night. Sunday and Monday offer a brief reprieve — mostly sunny skies and highs in the 60s before another system arrives midweek. Tonight's Full Moon rises at sunset, but with this overcast pattern, you probably won't see it. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
Good afternoon. Ohio. I'm Aaron Jolly. That quarter-inch of rain overnight was just the opening act. A warm front is lifting north. And it's created a dramatic temperature divide this afternoon. Down in Southwest Ohio, you're sitting at 65 degrees with thunderstorms rumbling through. Central Ohio sits at 57 degrees with rain showers. Head up to Cleveland and Akron. And you're looking at 49 degrees under mostly cloudy skies. In the next 24 hours. Here's the story tonight. That front keeps lifting north. And the rain ramps up significantly. Central Ohio could see one to two inches of rain by Thursday morning. That's prompted a Flood Watch for the Columbus area through Thursday afternoon. Northeast Ohio gets in on the action after 9 P.M., with rain continuing through Thursday. Thursday brings more rain statewide and the beginning of a remarkable warm-up. By Friday. Southwest Ohio could hit 78 degrees. That's near record territory for early March — about 39 degrees above normal. Central Ohio reaches 75 degrees. Even Northeast Ohio climbs to 65. Saturday brings another round of showers and thunderstorms, followed by a cold front that drops temperatures back into the 50s and 60s for Sunday.

Good evening. Ohio. I'm Aaron Jolly. That steady rain drumming on your roof overnight left about a quarter inch across much of the state. But the bigger story this morning? Dense fog.

Highs climb to 57 with more rain and even a rumble of thunder possible by late afternoon. Tonight, another half to three quarters of an inch falls. Northeast Ohio is cooler at 35 degrees under widespread fog. That fog lingers until around 11 A.M. You'll stay mostly dry today with a high near 49, but rain moves in tonight. Southwest Ohio is getting the heaviest rain. Already at 49 degrees, you'll see another one to two inches possible today with a high near 63. Thunderstorms are in the mix too. Looking ahead, this wet pattern holds through Saturday. But here's the headline: temperatures surge. Friday could hit 76 degrees in Central Ohio and 78 in the Southwest. That's about 35 degrees above normal for early March. A cold front Saturday brings more rain and storms, then Sunday finally clears out with sunshine and highs in the low 60s. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
Good evening. Ohio. I'm Aaron Jolly. Folks, there's a stationary front camped out along the Ohio River Valley right now. It's acting like a conveyor belt, pulling moisture northward that has no business being here in early March. The air is absolutely saturated. And that means rain. A lot of it. In the next 24 hours. Southwest Ohio feels it first. Cincinnati and Dayton, rain rolls in by 8 P.M. and hits its stride around 10 P.M. We're talking one to two inches possible. A Flood Warning is already up for Mill Creek at Evendale through Wednesday afternoon. If you see standing water on the road, turn around. Every single time. Slide up I-71 to Columbus and central Ohio. Rain spreads into your evening with near certainty by 7 P.M. Expect another half to three quarters of an inch. Lows only drop to 44 degrees. That damp, clingy kind of night where your windshield never fully clears. Northeast Ohio, you dodge the worst of it early. Just a slight rain chance around 8 P.M. but patchy fog creeps in overnight as temps settle near 35 degrees. The real rain waits until Wednesday afternoon. Wednesday stays wet everywhere. Columbus reaches 57 degrees. Cincinnati pushes 64. Cleveland lags at 49. Thunderstorms join the party by afternoon. Now the week ahead gets interesting. That front lifts north Wednesday night and warmth pours in behind it. Thursday brings more rain and highs near 70 degrees. Friday. Southwest Ohio could flirt with the upper 70s. In March. Let that sink in. Saturday delivers another round of storms, potentially strong ones, before things finally dry out Sunday with highs settling back into the 60s. Spring equinox is two weeks away, but this week didn't get the memo. Keep those storm drains clear tonight. Leaves and debris cause more flooding than the rain itself.
