Ohio Weather 3/8 Morning - Flood Warning

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.

Ohio Weather 3/7 Morning - Flood Warning: Flip-Flops to Parkas

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.

See you this afternoon.

Ohio Weather 3/6 Morning - Flood Warning

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.

Ohio Weather March 5 Midday - 31° Above Normal

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?

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.

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.

Ohio Weather March 4 Evening - 39° Above Normal

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.

Ohio Weather March 3 Evening - Flood Warning

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.

Ohio Weather March 3 Evening - 35° Above Normal

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.

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.

Ohio Weather March 3 Evening - 35° Above Normal

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.

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.

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.

Good morning. Ohio. I'm Aaron Jolly. Folks, grab that coffee and enjoy the quiet. Because this is the calm before something wild. In the next 24 hours. High pressure is parked over the Great Lakes right now, pumping northeast winds across the state. That's why the air has that sharp, clean bite this morning. We're sitting around 31 degrees statewide after last night's light snow dusted the northeast corner. Sunshine today, but those winds off Lake Erie are keeping a lid on things. Cincinnati gets the warmest seat at the table. You'll touch 47 degrees this afternoon. Columbus lands around 41. Cleveland? Stuck at 30 degrees with gusts to 20 miles an hour. That lake breeze is relentless. Tonight the bottom drops out. Cincinnati falls to 30. Columbus to 25. Cleveland bottoms at 21 degrees. Clear skies, light winds, cold pillows. Now Monday morning. That's where you'll want to pay attention. A shortwave trough slides in from the west. and southwest Ohio catches the worst of it. Snow mixing with sleet and freezing rain between 7 A.M. and 1 P.M. One to two inches possible, plus a light glaze of ice. Columbus sees a brief burst of snow before 1 P.M. Cleveland mostly dodges it with sunshine and 41 degrees. Then the script flips completely. Tuesday a warm front barrels north, dragging Gulf moisture with it. Rain arrives Tuesday morning. Temperatures rocket into the 50s and 60s. Wednesday pushes the mid 60s. By Friday we're flirting with the mid 70s, possibly challenging records. But all that warmth comes with a price. Multiple rounds of heavy rain Tuesday through next weekend. Creeks and rivers will be rising. Nuisance flooding looks likely. Friday brings the best shot at strong storms. So today? Soak in the stillness. Charge your phone, check your gutters. and maybe move anything out of the basement you don't want getting wet. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. Stay safe, stay prepared. and enjoy the day.

2/28 Ohio Weather 6 PM: Clear Skies

Good evening. Ohio. I'm Aaron Jolly. Sixty one degrees and clear skies right now. Soak that in. Because a cold front is carving through the state as we speak. and it's dragging winter back with it. 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. Wind chills tomorrow morning feel like 19 degrees in the northeast. 20 degrees around Columbus. That's a 40 degrees swing from this afternoon. 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. The catch? Rain arrives Tuesday and sticks around through next weekend. One to two inches possible, with some nuisance flooding on the table. Folks, tonight might be the last time winter gets the final word for a while. Charge your phone, grab the heavy blanket. and let the cold front do its thing. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. Stay safe, stay prepared. and enjoy the day.

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. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. Stay safe, stay prepared. and enjoy the day.

But sunshine punches through later this morning. Cleveland tops out at a modest 34 degrees. Columbus splits the difference nicely. A slight chance of early flurries, then highs climb to 45 degrees. Almost pleasant by February standards. Tonight, skies clear from west to east. Lows settle into the upper 20s statewide. Now here's where it gets interesting. Friday is the kind of day that tricks you into thinking spring arrived early. Full sunshine everywhere. Southwest Ohio surges to 60 degrees. Columbus hits 57. Even Cleveland reaches 52.

Good evening, folks! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Ohio Weather Podcast for Tuesday, February 24th. Ohio is serving up a genuinely pleasant February evening. And I'm not going to complain about it one bit. Step outside right now and you're feeling temperatures in the mid-to-upper 40s across most of the state. That's **remarkable** for late February. Down in Cincinnati, you're sitting at a cozy 48 degrees. Columbus is right there with you at 47. Head up toward Cleveland and you've still got 44, which — for the lakefront in February — feels downright balmy. Even Toledo's hanging in there at 43. You'll want to enjoy this while it lasts, because it won't. We've had a stretch of above-average temps that's had everybody thinking spring's around the corner. I saw crocuses poking up in my neighbor's yard this morning. Bold move, little flowers. Bold move. But here's what I'm watching. A cold front is sliding in overnight. And by tomorrow morning you're waking up to a **completely different story**. Temperatures are crashing back into the low 30s by dawn. And wind chills will make it feel more like the mid-20s. That's a twenty-degree swing in about twelve hours. Classic Ohio — giving you spring for lunch and winter for breakfast. Along with that front, you're seeing clouds thicken up after midnight. A few scattered rain showers could develop across the western half of the state. And as temps drop, don't be surprised if you see some wet snowflakes mixing in by early Wednesday morning. Nothing that should stick to roads, but it's a reminder that February still has teeth. Here's your heads-up for the week ahead. Thursday and Friday stay chilly — highs barely cracking 35. The weekend? Looking slightly warmer, maybe low 40s, with a chance of a more organized system moving through Saturday night. I'll be keeping a close eye on that one. If you're heading out early tomorrow. That mild air we've been enjoying is about to get shoved right out the door. If you're driving before sunrise, take it slow — a few slick spots are possible, especially on bridges and overpasses. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. , Ohio. Take care!

Wind chills in the single digits by Monday night. That's the kind of cold that makes your teeth ache. Now slide down to central Ohio. You're getting off easier, but not scot free. Snow showers roll in around 5 P.M. And taper off by 2 A.M. Less than an inch sticks, but northwest winds make it feel like 13 degrees by morning. Highs today barely scratch 33 degrees before dropping to 25 overnight. Watch for icy patches on your Monday commute. Southwest Ohio? You're the lucky ones tonight. A few flurries this afternoon, then clearing skies. Lows near 25 degrees. And here's where it gets interesting. By Tuesday you're rebounding to 43 degrees. Wednesday? 54 degrees. Your neighbor in Cleveland will still be shoveling. Winter weather advisories are up for northeast Ohio from 6 P.M. Tonight through 7 P.M. Monday. If you're anywhere near Lake Erie, avoid the roads if you can. The week ahead tells a wild story. Monday's deep freeze loosens its grip by midweek. Temperatures climb steadily. Thursday could bring rain changing to snow up north. But by Saturday, southwest Ohio touches 61 degrees. That's a 30 degree swing from Monday's lows. Only in Ohio. I'll be tracking those snow bands all night long. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Ohio Weather: 02-22-2026

Good afternoon! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Ohio Weather Podcast. It's Sunday, February 22nd. And folks, winter just showed up with a grudge. That little dusting overnight? Just the warm up act. Snow starts flying by 11 A.M. Across the state. But the real story is up in Northeast Ohio. A Winter Weather Advisory kicks in at 6 P.M. Tonight for Cuyahoga, Lake. And Geauga counties. You're looking at 3 to 5 inches by Tuesday morning. Lake effect bands near the Pennsylvania border could pile on even more. Snow doesn't quit until 11 A.M. Monday. That's a full 24 hours of white. Now swing down to Columbus. Snow peaks around 1 P.M. Today. Visibility drops fast. Highs only reach 36 degrees by 3 P.M., then nosedive to 25 by morning. Northwest gusts hit 30 miles an hour. At 8 A.M. Tomorrow, it'll feel like 13 degrees. That's the kind of cold that makes your steering wheel feel personal. Over in Southwest Ohio, you're catching the lighter end. Snow showers between 11 A.M. And 1 P.M., highs near 35 degrees, then temps slide to 25 overnight. Cincinnati gets off easy this round. Here's what makes it interesting, though. Statewide gusts near 30 miles an hour plus snow showers equals sudden whiteouts. You'll want to slow way down if you're on the road this afternoon. Now the plot twist for the week. Tuesday starts the climb. Central Ohio pushes toward 40 degrees. Southwest hits 43. Wednesday gets wild. Cincinnati could touch 53 while Cleveland hangs in the upper 30s. Thursday brings a messy rain and snow mix. But Friday? Sunshine returns. Columbus hits 46, Cleveland 42, Cincinnati 52. Saturday might be the real shocker. Highs flirting with 57 to 61 degrees statewide. A genuine spring tease before reality checks in Sunday. Oh. And we gained two minutes and 32 seconds of daylight today. Sunset at 6:16 P.M. The light is winning. Keep your phone charged and your windshield scraper close tonight. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Same gusty winds. But here's your plot twist. By Wednesday? You're hitting 53 degrees. That's a 28 degree jump in 48 hours. Your winter coat won't know what happened. The week ahead is wild. Monday and Tuesday stay cold. Lows in the teens up north, twenties elsewhere. Then Wednesday flips the switch. Southwest Ohio soars to 53 degrees while Cleveland crawls to 40. Thursday brings rain and a slushy mix. But Friday into Saturday? Sunny skies and 46 to 61 degrees statewide. Cincinnati, you're flirting with 60. Even Cleveland hits 49.
