Hey Ohio, Mother Nature is throwing us a curveball! Just when you thought March might bring some early spring warmth, winter is making a dramatic comeback. We’re in for snow, a deep freeze tonight, and then—because Ohio weather loves to keep us guessing—a major warm-up with rain next week. Buckle up, here’s what to expect.
Snow Today, Arctic Blast Tonight
It’s snowing across much of the state today, and while we’re not talking about a blizzard, it’s enough to make the roads slick and travel tricky. If you’re heading out, take it slow—black ice could be an issue later.
The real shocker comes tonight when temperatures take a nosedive. By late evening, most of Ohio will be in the teens, with gusty winds making it feel even colder. Wind chills could drop to the single digits, so if you need to be outside, layer up and stay warm!
Chilly Weekend Ahead, But At Least It’s Dry
The weekend will stay cold, but at least the snow will ease up.
- Saturday (March 2): Cloudy and breezy with a few lingering flurries. Highs around 36°F (2°C), lows dipping to 18°F (-8°C). The wind will make it feel even colder, so don’t be fooled by the thermometer!
- Sunday (March 3): Sunshine returns, but it’s still going to be chilly. Highs in the mid-30s (2°C), with lows around 20°F (-7°C). The good news? The wind won’t be as brutal, so it’ll be a little more bearable outside.
Major Warm-Up and Rain Next Week
Just when you’ve gotten used to the cold, temperatures will start climbing fast. Get ready for a serious shift in the forecast!
- Monday (March 4): A mix of sun and clouds with highs near 43°F (6°C). Not exactly warm, but compared to the weekend, it’ll feel like a heatwave. Overnight lows will stay above freezing at 33°F (1°C).
- Tuesday (March 5): Say hello to milder air! Cloudy skies and scattered showers roll in, with temperatures soaring to 57°F (14°C). It’s going to feel like a completely different season.
- Wednesday (March 6): A wet and windy day ahead. Expect showers and possibly some thunderstorms. Some storms could be strong, bringing gusty winds and even small hail. Highs around 56°F (13°C), but with all the rain, it might not feel as warm as the numbers suggest.
What You Need to Know
- Bundle up tonight! Wind chills in the single digits can be dangerous—limit your time outside if possible.
- Be careful on the roads. Snow today and freezing temps tonight mean icy spots are likely, especially on bridges and overpasses.
- Enjoy the warm-up, but grab an umbrella. The trade-off for those spring-like temps? Rain and possible thunderstorms by midweek.
Ohio weather is keeping us on our toes, but we’re used to that, right? Stay warm, stay safe, and keep an eye on the forecast!
