Ohio Weather: 02-21-2026

Good evening, folks! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Ohio Weather Podcast for Saturday, February 21st. Winter dropped nearly two inches of snow on us overnight. Then it handed the thermostat to spring. Southwest Ohio climbed to 47 degrees today. That's a 28 degree swing from this morning's low of 19. Classic Ohio whiplash. Here's the deal tonight. Central Ohio drops to 30 degrees. Feels more like 23. There's a slight chance of snow around 17 degrees P.M. Just enough to remind you winter's still here. Head southwest and you're looking at 28 degrees. Feels like 21 by morning. Bundle up if you're heading out. Northeast Ohio. You'll want to pay attention. A Winter Storm Watch kicks in Sunday evening. Snow starts creeping in after 8 tonight and peaks Sunday morning. We're talking 2 to 4 inches by Monday. Maybe more near Lake Erie. Winds howl out of the northwest at 20 to 30 miles an hour. That means blowing snow and visibility that disappears like your patience in a drive through. If you're anywhere near Cleveland or Akron, Sunday night through Monday is going to be messy. Roads slick. Snow drifting across highways. The kind of commute where you white knuckle the steering wheel the whole way. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Monday brings an arctic blast. Highs barely touch 32 degrees statewide. Northeast Ohio could pick up another 2 to 4 inches. Then Tuesday and Wednesday warm things up near 40. Southwest Ohio might even flirt with 54 degrees Wednesday. Thursday throws rain and snow back into the mix. But Friday? Sunshine and highs near 50. That's the light at the end of the tunnel. So.
