...MORE RAIN ON THE WAY...
[11.20.25 6:00 A.M.]

Skies are cloudy this morning with areas of very light drizzle. Some areas are also reporting fog. Temperatures are in the lower 40's as we start your Thursday.

High pressure is in control of our weather. However, it will not be strong enought to keep the clouds away. I wouldn't be shocked if we seen a peak or two of some sun. Temperatures will warm into the lower 50's this afternoon.

Rain chances increase as we progress through tonight. The best rain chances will be south of I-70. Low temperatures will drop into the low 40's.

Rain is likely on Friday. The heaviest rain will remain south of I-70. Temperatures will reach the mid 50's by tomorrow afternoon.

High pressure will once again settle into the area for the weekend bringing plenty of sunshine and cool temperatures to the area.

Have a great Thursday!

...UPDATE ON THE PATTERN CHANGE COMING...
[11.19.25 8:35 P.M.]

Thanks Amy for your forecast tonight. She explained it well that the bottom will drop out right at Thanksgiving.

I'm going to dive in a little on that cold snap she touched on this evening. By Thanksgiving the temperatures will fall well below normal. We will struggle to reach 30 Thanksgiving day. We will warm slightly through the holiday weekend but our attention turns to the first week of December.

Models are hinting at the possibility of a winter storm developing and pushing into our area during the first week of December. The NWS has also began to see this and have already placed us in a "Slight Risk" for heavy snow during this time period. Now, we are still a week and half from this and like I have always stressed. Things can change. Something we'll keep our eyes on as we get closer. Plus, there is a "Slight Risk" of seeing well below normal temperatures during this time period.

Finally, if you are seeing snow total maps for this event floating around on FB like the image I attached to this post with the big X. Do not believe it. No one should be posting anything with snow totals this far out.

I'll have an updated forecast for you in the morning. Have a great night!

…SLOWLY WARMING UNTIL THE BOTTOM FALLS OUT FOR THANKSGIVING… [11/19/2025 6:00 PM]

We had a little more sun than I expected today, allowing temps to make it into the low 50s. We will have more chance for patchy fog overnight and into the morning commute. Lows will be around 40.

Rain moves back up into Central Ohio tomorrow evening as high pressure slides eastward. Highs will be in the mid 50s tomorrow and Friday. Rain will become more widespread Friday and Friday night, before we get a short break late Saturday and Sunday with some sun and upper 50s. The next system moves in next week and will end with dramatically colder temperatures and likely some mixed precipitation. We will talk more in depth about the polar vortex and how it influences these cold blasts coming up soon!

Have a pleasant evening and be careful out there!

...CLOUDY AND COOL...
[11.19.25 6:00 A.M.]

It's a damp start to your Wednesday. Temperatures are around 40 across the area and the ground is still damp from yesterdays rain.

We'll remain dry today but clouds will have a good grip on keeping the sun from peaking through. However, I think we should see some sun today. We'll get up to around 50 this afternoon. Clouds will increase tonight with temperatures falling into the mid 30's.

Thursday will be cloudy with high temperatures reaching the low 50's. Rain will return to the area by Thursday night and lasting through Saturday morning. High temperatures on Friday Saturday will reach the mid to upper 50's.

Models are still showing our weather changing around Thanksgiving. Much colder is expected to arrive by the end of next week.

Have a great Wednesday!

…BREAK FROM THE RAIN TOMORROW, BUT NOT THE GLOOM… [11/18/2025 6:00 PM]

A pretty wet system is dumping on us. The more South you are, the more repeated rounds of heavy stuff there will be. In fact, the tri-state area is seeing some severe warned storms. There is just enough instability to support severe development, including some hail. Central Ohio should be mostly rain.

Rain will end overnight but clouds will stick around. There is a possibility for fog during the morning commute, so allow for extra time! Low will be in the mid 30s.

We get a break in the rain tomorrow but it will remain cloudy. Lack of sun will keep our temperatures cool and clammy, in the mid 40s.

That same cloud cover keeps us from losing “warmth” overnight, lows should be in the low 40s.

Thursday will start another round of unsettled weather with rain starting late Thursday continuing through the weekend, coupled with a warming trend to slightly above normal high temperatures.

Be careful on the roads! Dark + Wet = Hazardous.

...A WET TUESDAY...
[11.18.25 5:50 A.M.]

**WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR LICKING COUNTY UNTIL 10 A.M...

We are starting out in the low 30's this morning. As I forecaseted yesterday. We were able to warm back above freezing before the moisture arrived. However, elevated surfaces such as bridges and overpasses could be still be cold enough to freeze.

A rain snow mix will persist through the early mornig hours before changing to all rain by late morning. Rain will last through the afternoon hours today. It will cold, wet, and blustry day as temperatures will only make it into the lower 40's today.

We'll get some dry weather for Wednesday and Thursday before rain returns back to our area by Thursday night. High temperatures will get into the low to mid 50's both days.

Our next system will bring rain to the area Thursday night and last through Saturday morning.

Allow enough driving time today. Roads will be wet and slick out there. Have a great Tuesday!

…RAIN EXPECTED TOMORROW WITH A POSSIBILITY OF WINTER MIX EARLY…
[11.17.25 6:45 PM]

Hello! I hope you all had a nice start to your week. Clouds increase through the evening as our next system approaches. Temperatures fall into the low 30s, and with the moisture moving in early Tuesday, it lines up with what Michael mentioned earlier about the possibility for some rain or winter mix arriving by morning.

Light precipitation spreads in around sunrise. Most of Central Ohio will see mainly cold rain, but a brief mix of rain/snow can’t be ruled out right at onset. The chance for any freezing rain is very low, but if temperatures don’t warm fast enough, an isolated slick spot is possible early. By mid-morning it’s all rain. Expect a chilly, gray day with highs in the upper 30s to low 40s.

On Wednesday, Rain tapers early followed by mostly cloudy skies. Still cool, with highs in the mid–40s. Quiet weather overall.

Thursday will be dry with more breaks of sun. Temperatures rebound into the upper 40s to low 50s, giving us a calm stretch before the next system late week.

Friends, please be mindful of your pets, other animals, and the neighborhood strays as temperatures continue to decrease. Amy and I built 2 outside cat houses for the stray cats and occasional opossum. If it’s cold for you, it’s cold for them too.

...SOME DECENT RAIN CHANCES THIS WEEK WITH A BIG PATTERN CHANGE COMING SOON...

I wanted to take a moment to go a little deeper into an active pattern that is starting to set up across the area over the next couple of weeks.

As we start to finish the last couple of weeks of November. Our pattern will start to change as we get into December. Now specifics are way too early to throw out there. However, models have been trending that a change is coming and it looks interesting. Possibly a decent cold air mass?? Which would allow for more snow chances as we get closer to Christmas??

Looking into this week. Models have a low-pressure system that will bring a chance of a mix bag of precipitation to the area tomorrow morning before switching over to all rain. I feel with a cloud sheild moving into the area before the precip arrives. This will allow temperatures to warm a degree or two to keep this precip all rain other than some sleet mixing in. It's not out of the question that we might even here a rumble of thunder tomorrow as the system pushes through. However, the heaviest precip is expected to remain south of the area. No ice or snow accumulation is expected at this time. We'll give an update on this particular forecast later today.

As we head into the later half of the week. A stronger storm system will bring a good chance of rain to the area. I've attached 3 models showing how much rain that is expected. This gives you an idea on how models are looking at this system for later in the week.

Thanks again for following us. We'll keep you updated without the hype and false forecasts. Oh, yeah and free. No subscriptions needed here.

Have a good afternoon!

...A LITTLE MIX OF SNOW & RAIN FOR TOMORROW MORNING...
[11.17.25 7:10 A.M.]

We are starting off in the mid and upper 20's this morning. We'll see plenty of sunshine today and calmer winds compared to the weekend when we saw gusts up to 30 MPH at times. Temperatures will reach the upper 40's this afternoon. The image attached will show how much rain is expected tomorrow.

During the overnight a low-pressure system will move into the area. Temperatures will be around freezing by sunrise when the precipiation arrives. We could start out with a mix of rain and snow before changing to all rain by late Tuesday morning. No snow accumulation is expected. High temperatures will reach the low 40's by tomorrow afternoon.

High pressure will settle into the area and bring dry weather for Wednesday. High temperatures on Wednesday wil be around 50.

Rain will move back into the area by Thursday.

I'll have a post later today in regards to a big pattern change coming our way right around Thanksgiving. Keep checking back.

Have a great Monday!

…BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TONIGHT…
[11.16.25 6:00 PM]

Hi friends, I hope you had a nice and pleasant weekend!

Temperatures will dip below freezing tonight, with lows around 30 F. High pressure sticks around Monday, keeping things dry and cool with a high near 51 F.

A system moves through the Ohio Valley on Tuesday and Wednesday, bringing widespread rain back to the region. Tuesday will be noticeably colder again, with highs only reaching the mid-40s.

We’ll warm up a bit by midweek and into the second half of the workweek, but that brief break won’t last long, more rain is expected by Thursday and Friday.

Enjoy your Sunday evening.

…WINDY AND DRY TODAY… [11/16/2025 7:05 AM]

It did not get quite as chilly as expected overnight, but it is noticeably cooler and we will struggle to make it to 50 degrees today, even with abundant sunshine. Winds will be from the northwest, gusting to 35mph, and that coupled with low humidity will make for hazardous fire conditions. Probably not the best time to be burning anything out there today.

I feel confident it will get cold tonight. The winds will be calmer, humidity low, and skies clear. A recipe for efficient radiant cooling. Temps will be in the mid 20s area wide as the sun comes up.

Monday will be similar to today, sunny and in the upper 40s, though winds will calm down.

Tuesday through the rest of the week will bring us precipitation chances each day, perhaps a brief dry-out on Wednesday between systems. We will slowly warm to the upper 50s by the end of the week.

Hang on to your hats today!

…PRECIPITOUS DROP TONIGHT… [11/15/2025 6:00 PM]

We’ve managed to stay relatively free of showers in our area today, maybe a few light ones in the northernmost parts. As the cold front approaches overnight we will see some showers ahead of it. Nothing severe, but a few rumbles of thunder and strong gusts up to 45 mph are possible. It will rapidly clear behind the front as temps fall to the upper 30s.

Tomorrow will be a sunny and seasonably cool day, with a high around 50. Very chilly at night with a low in the upper 20s. And more of the same clear and cool on Monday, before our next system brings a drizzly, chill-to-the-bone kind of day on Tuesday.

Have a great evening!
