3/2 Ohio Weather 6 AM: Winter Weather Advisory

Good morning. Ohio. I'm Aaron Jolly. Folks, grab your coffee and your patience. A warm front is shoving north through the Ohio Valley right now. and it's running headfirst into cold air sitting at the surface. That collision is making a mess of your Monday morning. In the next 24 hours. Southwest Ohio is ground zero. Snow and sleet are falling as we speak, with freezing rain mixing in before everything flips to plain rain by early afternoon. The Miami Valley could see an inch or two of snow before it's done. Roads are slick. Take it slow out there. Slide northeast to Columbus and you're waking up to snow too. It peaks around 8 A.M., then tapers off before lunch. Less than an inch on the ground. Highs climb to 39 degrees. Now northeast Ohio. You're the lucky ones today. Mostly sunny skies and a high near 38 degrees. but you're paying for that sunshine. It's 18 degrees right now, feels like 18 degrees with the wind. That cold cuts right through your coat zipper. Tonight, rain spreads across the entire state as that warm front finally wins the battle. Lows only dip to the mid 30s. And here's where it gets interesting. Tuesday kicks off a complete pattern flip. We're talking highs in the 50s and 60s, climbing into the low 70s by Saturday. March showing up dressed like May. The catch? Multiple rounds of rain. Expect an inch and a half to two and a half inches through Sunday. Some nuisance flooding is possible by late week. Keep that in mind if your basement has a history of surprises.
