Dense Fog and Afternoon Storms Expected in Columbus

Dense Fog and Afternoon Storms Expected in Columbus

A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for Central Ohio until 10:00 AM, with visibility dropping below ¼ mile in some areas. Drivers are urged to exercise caution during their morning commute. Once the fog lifts, a mix of sun and clouds will dominate the day, with warm temperatures reaching the mid-80s. A cold front is expected to move through the area later this afternoon, bringing chances for showers and thunderstorms. While most areas will remain dry, isolated storms could develop, with a marginal risk for severe weather. (Source: abc6onyourside.com, Source time: Sun, 13 Sep 2026 14:07:06 GMT)

Severe Weather Threat Looms Over Southeast and Eastern Nebraska

Severe Weather Threat Looms Over Southeast and Eastern Nebraska

A significant severe weather threat is expected to impact southeast and eastern Nebraska on Monday, September 14, 2026. Following a hot and windy day with temperatures reaching the lower 90s (32-34°C) and wind gusts of 35-40 mph, a cold front will move into the region during the afternoon and evening. This front is expected to trigger strong to severe thunderstorms, with the potential for large hail (up to 2 inches in diameter), damaging winds (up to 65-75 mph), and isolated tornadoes (up to EF-2+ strength). The atmospheric conditions, including warm, moist air and wind shear, are conducive to the development of severe storms, particularly supercells capable of producing tornadoes. However, earlier showers and weak storms could stabilize the atmosphere and reduce the severity of the threat. (Source: KOLN, 2026-09-13, 4:57 PM CDT)

Ohio's First Snowfall Expected Between Late November and December

Ohio's First Snowfall Expected Between Late November and December

The Farmers' Almanac has released its first-snowfall map for the 2026-2027 winter season, predicting that Ohio will likely see its first measurable snowfall between late November and December. Measurable snowfall is defined as at least 0.1 inches of accumulation, a standard used by the National Weather Service. However, snowfall timing can vary significantly across the state due to factors such as elevation, latitude, and proximity to Lake Erie. Northern and northeastern Ohio, influenced by lake-effect snow, may experience snow earlier than other regions. The map serves as a climatological guide rather than a specific storm forecast, offering insights into typical seasonal patterns.

Farmers' Almanac Predicts First Snowfall for Ohio in 2026-2027

Farmers' Almanac Predicts First Snowfall for Ohio in 2026-2027

The Farmers' Almanac has released its first snowfall forecast for the 2026-2027 winter season, predicting a cold and potentially snowy winter for Ohio. According to the publication, northern Ohio can expect its first snow in November, while southern Ohio may see snow in late November or December. The forecast is based on a climatological guide that considers factors such as elevation, latitude, and nearby water bodies. The Farmers' Almanac, which has been making weather predictions since 1818, claims an accuracy rate of 80% to 85% for its regional forecasts, though independent reviews suggest the accuracy may be slightly lower. The publication uses a proprietary formula involving sunspot cycles, lunar positions, tidal pull, and historical weather patterns to make its predictions.
