Good evening. Ohio. I'm Aaron Jolly. That steady drumming on the roof overnight? That was just the opening act. We picked up about a tenth of an inch, but the main feature is rolling in now. And folks, we're looking at a classic Ohio split today. Down in Southwest Ohio, you're waking up to a mild 50 degrees under heavy gray skies. Head up toward Columbus and the thermometer drops to 44. Push further north into Northeast Ohio. And you're sitting at a raw 35 degrees. That damp air cuts right through your jacket. In the next 24 hours. Here's the situation. Rain spreads statewide this evening and really picks up steam after midnight. The southwest gets the worst of it — one to two inches is possible, with rumbles of thunder rolling through around 3 A.M. Central Ohio sees a solid soaking, up to three quarters of an inch. Up north, the totals are lighter, but keep an eye out for patchy fog developing late tonight. It could make for a slick Thursday morning commute. A quick heads-up if you live near Evendale. A Flood Warning is in effect for Mill Creek in Hamilton County. Minor flooding is expected late tonight through Wednesday afternoon. If you usually take Sharon or Mosteller Roads, you might want to find a different way around. Wednesday turns wet and noticeably warmer. The southwest surges toward 64 degrees. Central Ohio hits 57. Even the northeast climbs to 49. But hold onto your hats — the real story is the heat coming later this week. By Friday, southwest Ohio could hit 79 degrees. That's nearly 35 degrees above normal. The trade-off is a wet, stormy pattern hanging around right through the weekend. You won't see much of the full moon tonight with all this cloud cover. Still, we're gaining over two minutes of daylight every day. Spring is just two weeks away. Keep that umbrella within reach. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. Take care That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
Good evening. Ohio. I'm Aaron Jolly. If you stepped outside today, you probably noticed the squish underfoot. We picked up about a tenth of an inch of rain overnight. And the ground is officially saturated. That sets the stage for a very wet couple of days. In the next 24 hours. In Here's situation, a Flood Watch is in effect for much of the southern half of the state through Wednesday afternoon. We're looking at 1 to 2 inches of rain, with locally higher amounts possible. That much water falling on already soaked ground could lead to rising creeks and poor drainage flooding. Please, if you see a covered road, turn around. Tonight, rain remains widespread. You'll see temperatures hovering in the 40s across Central Ohio. Down in Cincinnati and Dayton, you're warmer, sitting near 50 degrees. Rain continues there, heavy at times, with a chance for thunderstorms. Wednesday brings more of the same. Highs reach the mid-50s in Columbus, while Southern Ohio climbs to the mid-60s. That warm, moist air fuels more showers and storms. The rain finally tapers off late Wednesday night, giving us a brief break on Thursday morning. Thursday and Friday are transition days. We warm up significantly—highs in the upper 60s to near 70. That's about 35 degrees above normal for early March. It feels nice, but it also fuels the next round of strong storms Friday night. Saturday looks stormy again as a cold front sweeps through. Once that passes. Sunday turns breezy and cooler with highs in the low 60s. We dry out nicely for the start of the work week, with sunshine returning Monday. 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 Jack O'Malley. Folks, there's a stationary front parked right along the Ohio River Valley. It's pulling Gulf moisture north like a fire hose. And it's pointed straight at us. Precipitable water values are near record territory for early March. That's the engine behind everything you're seeing today. In the next 24 hours. Southwest Ohio is catching it first. Cincinnati's sitting at 50 degrees with heavy rain already falling. One to two inches possible by morning. A Flood Watch is in effect for southern counties through Wednesday afternoon. If you're near creeks or low spots, you'll want to keep an eye on water levels tonight. Drive up I-71 to Columbus and you're at 44 degrees. Rain is likely through the evening. Lows tonight hold in the mid 40s. That damp chill soaks right through your jacket. Now push northeast toward Cleveland. You're on the cool side of that front at 35 degrees. Patchy fog settles in overnight. Rain catches up to you by morning. Here's what's wild. Lows tonight barely drop. Southwest Ohio stays near 50 degrees. That's more like mid April than early March. Wednesday cranks things up another notch. Highs reach 64 in the southwest, 57 in Columbus, 49 in the northeast. A few thunderstorms are possible, too. Looking ahead. This warm, wet pattern isn't going anywhere. An upper level ridge pushes temperatures 35 degrees to 35 degrees above normal. Thursday brings more rain with highs surging into the 60s and 70s. Friday offers a brief dry window before another system rolls in Friday night. Saturday looks stormy ahead of a cold front. Sunday finally clears the slate. One more bright spot.

Good morning. Ohio. I'm Aaron Jolly. Ohio woke up to a light dusting of snow. Cute. Forget about it.

We're talking two to three times the normal moisture for this time of year. A legitimate soaker is heading our way. In the next 24 hours. Northeast Ohio, you've got the roughest commute. Freezing rain is glazing up windshields and bridges through 10 A.M. There's a Winter Weather Advisory around Cleveland and Akron until then. That slick stuff transitions to plain rain once temperatures climb. Drive slow this morning. Seriously. Slide southwest to Cincinnati and rain's already falling. Highs hit 55 degrees with one to two inches of rain possible by tomorrow morning. Columbus splits the difference at 49 degrees. Rain peaks around 1 P.M. There. Grab the umbrella, not the snow brush.

In the next 24 hours. Here's the story. That front sweeps south tonight, pulling cold Canadian air right behind it. A weak disturbance rides along the boundary, squeezing out light snow across northern Ohio after dark. Northeast Ohio catches the most. Snow picks up around 6 P.M. and peaks near 1 A.M. We're talking a coating to maybe an inch. Roads should stay mostly wet thanks to today's warm ground. Now the temperature whiplash. Southwest Ohio hit 62 degrees this afternoon. Columbus reached 56. but up in Cleveland and Akron? Topped out around 46 and already falling fast through the 30s tonight. By morning, lows crash to 24 degrees in the northeast, 29 degrees in central Ohio, 34 degrees down southwest.

Your jacket is going from optional to mandatory overnight. Sunday stays cold and blustery. Highs struggle to reach 30 degrees in the northeast, 39 degrees in central Ohio, 45 degrees in the southwest. North winds at 10 to 12 miles an hour make it bite even harder. Looking ahead. Monday stays chilly. Then Tuesday flips the script completely. A warm front charges north, launching temperatures back into the 50s and 60s. By Friday, parts of Ohio could touch 72 degrees.

Good afternoon. Ohio. I'm Aaron Jolly. Fifty nine degrees under clear skies. Feels like March showed up three weeks early. but don't pack away the parka yet. A cold front is currently slicing through the state, acting like a trap door. All this mild air gets shoved out tonight as reality crashes back in. In the next 24 hours. Here's what's happening right now. Southwest Ohio is soaking up the best of it, topping out at 62 degrees. Central Ohio is sitting pretty at 56. but push northeast toward Cleveland and Akron. and you're already feeling the chill at 46 degrees, with temperatures tumbling faster this afternoon. Tonight brings a quick hit of winter. Northeast Ohio sees snow showers developing after 6 P.M. Those peak around 1 A.M. With less than an inch expected—just enough to make the pavement slick. Central Ohio catches a brief rain-snow mix between 11 P.M. and 3 A.M. Down in the southwest, look for a quick rain shower around 9 P.M. Sunday morning is going to bite. Wind chills drop to 19 degrees in the northeast, 20 in central Ohio. and 28 in the southwest. Highs on Sunday only reach 30 in the northeast, 39 in central Ohio. and 45 in the southwest. North winds at 10 to 12 miles an hour will make it feel raw all day. But here's the plot twist. The cold doesn't stick. Starting Tuesday, a warm front lifts north and temperatures surge. We're talking 50s, then 60s, pushing toward 70 degrees by Friday. The trade-off is rain. Multiple rounds move in Tuesday through next weekend, totaling one to two inches. Some nuisance flooding is possible, though a few parts of the state could actually use the drink. Today is your last mild day for a while. Make it count.
