Over the next week, those of you in the Cincinnati and Columbus areas may expect a variety of weather patterns. Due to high pressure that is sweeping the area, the National Weather Service has predicted a comparatively tranquil day with dry conditions. Don’t get overly comfortable with the lack of precipitation, though. A cold front is predicted to sweep through late on Monday and into Monday night, bringing with it showers.
Today’s highs will range from close to 50 degrees northeast to the mid-50s southwest. The low-level clouds in the morning, however, are confined beneath an inversion, so don’t be deceived. According to the National Weather Service, “Clouds will begin to improve early this morning thru early afternoon from southwest to northeast as the low levels begin to dry out with low-level flow becoming southwesterly.” With these circumstances in place, you can expect clearer sky as the day goes on. But as the evening wears on, clouds are predicted to return. Lows will range widely over the course of the night, from the mid-30s, when clouds come later, to the mid-40s in the west.
“Rain to overspread the area Monday becoming widespread by afternoon,” the National Weather Service said in reference to the near future. Highs will remain warm for another day, with highs in the mid-50s in the northwest and about 60 in the southeast. Not to be overlooked, though, is the midweek, when an approaching low-pressure system can cause some agitation. This system, which will primarily impact areas south of the region, is expected to produce further precipitation Wednesday night into Thanksgiving.
The upcoming holiday can bring with it its own set of weather-related problems. Despite the fact that most significant weather is predicted to avoid our region to the south, the National Weather Service warns that “the ensemble mean offering only light snow across our northern counties.” Additionally, it’s important to keep in mind that Friday is predicted to bring “a chance of light snow,” which will lead to a colder weekend as cold high pressure takes hold, if you have travel plans for the end of the week. With a trough forming throughout the eastern United States and the possibility of more brisk temperatures, long-term forecasts indicate a shift in the pattern.
From the aviation forecast, pilots should expect “MVFR conditions during the day Monday.” The National Weather Service also issues a warning for potential MVFR visibility and IFR ceilings on Monday afternoon and evening, with the possibility of reoccurring conditions on Wednesday night and Thursday. Therefore, both pilots and passengers need to be ready for any delays or bumpy flights.
