Ohio — Headlights glow through thick fog along river valleys this morning as cold air presses into the Ohio Valley.
Temperatures hover near 13 degrees around Cincinnati, with fog reducing visibility and moisture clinging to road surfaces. Side streets, bridges, and ramps feel especially slick, even where pavement looks dry. Drivers along I-71, I-75, and river crossings should slow down early.
Skies brighten slightly later today as fog thins. Afternoon sunshine pushes highs toward the upper 20s, but melting remains limited. Any moisture refreezes quickly after sunset, raising the risk for black ice during the evening commute.
Tonight stays quiet but cold. Temperatures dip near 8 degrees, and patchy fog may redevelop in sheltered areas. Roads refreeze again before daybreak, especially where snowbanks or puddles linger.
Thursday turns mostly cloudy and remains cold, with highs near 26 degrees. Winds stay light, keeping the air calm but biting. By Thursday night, clouds thicken ahead of the next system, setting the stage for changing conditions.
By Friday, meteorologists are tracking a developing disturbance moving through the Ohio Valley. Snow becomes possible by late morning or afternoon, with highs climbing near 39 degrees. Accumulations look light for now, but timing matters. Snow falling during the day may melt, then refreeze quickly after dark as temperatures fall into the teens Friday night.
Saturday brings a reset. Sunshine returns, highs reach the mid-20s, and travel improves. Saturday night stays cold near 13 degrees, but skies remain partly cloudy.
Sunday trends milder. Afternoon temperatures rebound into the mid-30s, hinting at a broader warming pattern early next week. By the 6–10 day window, above-normal temperatures look increasingly likely, signaling a slow February thaw.
Plan for fog, icy mornings, and fast-changing road conditions. Are you seeing slick spots where you drive this morning?
