Ohio Weather 3/10 Morning - Rain Starting 2 PM

Good morning. Ohio. I'm Aaron Jolly. Step outside and you're greeted by 58 degrees under mostly cloudy skies, spring is teasing us. But a wild ride is coming. Southwest Ohio wakes up near 62 degrees and climbs to a balmy 76 by late afternoon. A few light showers could pop up mid-morning, but the real action holds off until after midnight. Central Ohio starts near 58 and reaches 73, with scattered thunderstorms possible between 2 and 4 P.M. Northeast Ohio runs cooler — 55 degrees this morning with rain arriving around 5 A.M., topping out at 68 this afternoon. As the sun sets. Tonight is when things get serious, thunderstorms develop after midnight, some potentially severe. Damaging winds are the main threat, with an isolated tornado risk. Heavy rain is likely too — some areas could see 3 to 4 inches before Wednesday evening. Wednesday brings the big punch, showers and thunderstorms roll through with highs in the mid-70s statewide. Winds gust to 35 miles an hour, possibly higher, then the cold front crashes through Wednesday night. Temperatures plummet from the 70s to the mid-30s by Thursday morning, rain changes to snow as that cold air floods in. The rest of the week is a temperature roller coaster, thursday clears out with highs in the mid-40s to low 50s. Friday stays mostly cloudy near 50 to 60 degrees with gusty southwest winds and a chance of rain. Saturday starts quiet with partly sunny skies and highs in the mid-50s, sunday warms back to the upper 60s, but rain returns by afternoon. Another cold front sweeps through Sunday night, bringing rain that changes to snow. Monday could see a few inches of accumulation with highs struggling to reach the mid-30s. As the sun sets. Stay weather-aware tonight and Wednesday. This is a significant severe weather setup. Looking ahead. See you this afternoon.
