Short-Term Forecast (Sunday 11/30/2025 through Tuesday 12/02/2025)
The surface low that brought us gusty winds today has mostly exited the region, allowing stable conditions to fill back in. Temperatures are expected to remain fairly chilly as temperatures continue to be steady; winds are also expected to calm during the short-term as well. An embedded shortwave will travel eastward tonight through Monday, crossing over the state throughout Tuesday. Heights on Tuesday are expected to fall as moisture moves into our area. Winter weather will likely return once again this coming Tuesday as a surface low south of the state travels northeastward. Depending on how far south this low stays will likely determine the type of precipitation we could see on Tuesday. Current models are consistent that most of southeastern Ohio could see snow in the early morning hours of Tuesday while some parts may see a frozen mix or sleet. Confidence on snow totals remain fairly uncertain, but we may only see around an inch of snow from this system. Majority of this precipitation will be in the early morning hours and just after midnight but could persist after daybreak; however, this system and precipitation will quickly move out of the state by late morning.
Long-Term Forecast (Wednesday 12/03/2025 through Saturday 12/06/2025)
High-pressure will fill back in once again by early Wednesday morning. A broad ridge will follow the shortwave aloft transitioning into zonal conditions by Thursday. Drier air will push back into the region Wednesday and Thursday afternoon, clearing out most of the cloud cover. Clouds will then return Friday and Saturday. Models remain inconsistent with the possibility of winter weather Friday and Saturday, though it’s likely to become clearer once we get closer to the end of the week. A cold front will move over the state Thursday, bringing slightly chillier temperatures Thursday and Friday with an overnight low Thursday evening possibly dipping in the mid-to-upper 10s. Winds will continue to remain consistent and relatively calm during the long-term which won’t worsen daytime temperatures too much. Overall, fairly calm conditions to follow after possible snow returns on Tuesday.
