Columbus, OH – Most of the Ohio Valley will see continued warm and dry weather this week, with only limited chances for showers or thunderstorms. The National Weather Service Ohio River Forecast Center reported Monday that rain activity is most likely along the southern and peripheral areas of the valley through Saturday, September 20.
According to the forecast, the region will experience mostly dry conditions until the weekend. Isolated showers and storms may develop, but rainfall totals are expected to remain light. This pattern follows several weeks of below-normal precipitation, raising ongoing concerns about soil dryness and agricultural impacts.
Looking further ahead, the 6–10 day outlook for September 20–24 indicates a better chance for precipitation across the Ohio Valley and much of the eastern United States. While this may bring some relief, forecasters caution that there is currently no strong signal for widespread, drought-ending rainfall.
Residents and farmers are encouraged to monitor updated forecasts as the weekend approaches, especially with shifting rain chances across southern Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, and West Virginia.
