Ohio wakes under a cold, muted sky this morning as thin flakes drift across damp streets and wind sweeps over open fields. The air feels crisp enough to sting, and drivers may spot early slick patches—an early sign of changing conditions as post-Thanksgiving travel increases across central Ohio.
Light snow showers push through parts of Columbus this morning, bringing quick bursts of reduced visibility. Most snowfall stays light, but pavement temperatures remain low enough for brief icy spots, especially on untreated roads and highway ramps. If you’re traveling today, build in a few extra minutes and watch for sudden flurries along I-70 and Route 23. Meteorologists are tracking a Winter Tease developing this weekend as colder air and incoming moisture meet over the state.
Saturday starts quietly with partly sunny skies, but clouds thicken by afternoon. Models hint at a rain–snow changeover late Saturday night as moisture increases across central Ohio. A brief period of accumulating snow is possible before temperatures rise slightly and precipitation becomes steadier. Snow totals should stay light, though timing may impact late-night travelers.
Sunday brings the biggest weather shift. A stronger system moves in with periods of rain, but colder pockets near Columbus could support another snow chance early and again late in the day. Roads may become slushy at times, and visibility could drop during heavier bursts. Keep coats, gloves, and windshield scrapers ready, and plan for slower travel through evening.
Looking ahead to the first week of December, a sharper cold front sweeps east from the Plains, dropping temperatures well below normal from the Midwest to New England. This pattern often favors early-season snow chances. For now, Columbus should expect chilly, unsettled weather and the potential for more wintry mix episodes.
