Ohio wakes up wrapped in thick fog, where headlights glow softly along I-71 and country roads near Wilmington and Cincinnati. Temperatures sit at 25 degrees, and the air feels damp and raw. Visibility has dropped in spots, especially near river valleys.
Fog lingers through mid-morning before skies turn partly sunny. Today’s high reaches 55 degrees with calm winds becoming southerly around 5 mph. Wet pavement from melting frost may create slick patches early, but roads improve by afternoon.
Rain moves in late tonight, mainly after 1 a.m. Temperatures fall to around 41 degrees. Rain chances climb to 80 percent, with between a tenth and a quarter inch possible by Sunday morning. Plan extra time if traveling early.
Sunday stays mostly cloudy with rain likely before 1 p.m. Highs reach 51 degrees. Rain tapers later in the day, and Sunday night cools to 35 under partly cloudy skies.
President’s Day brings brighter skies and a high near 57 degrees. Light south winds keep conditions comfortable. Tuesday climbs to 61 under mostly cloudy skies, and Wednesday pushes even warmer with highs near 68 degrees. That’s well above average for mid-February in southwest Ohio.
While this stretch feels mild, late-week rain chances return Thursday into Friday. With temperatures staying above freezing, no snow is expected for now.
Long-range outlooks favor temperatures 10 to 20 degrees above normal into next week, reinforcing early spring vibes across Ohio.
