Ohio Valley Weather Alert: Rain This Weekend Before Dry Week Returns

Cincinnati, Ohio — The Ohio Valley can expect a brief round of rain this weekend, mainly in northern and eastern areas, before high pressure returns and keeps the region dry for the week ahead.

According to the National Weather Service Ohio River Forecast Center, a low-pressure system moving across the Great Lakes will bring showers to the upper Ohio Valley from Saturday through Monday. Rainfall is not expected to cause flooding, and rivers across Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia should remain stable.

Forecasters say the system will move quickly, followed by clear skies and cool, dry air early next week.

Drivers should be cautious of slick roads during brief downpours Saturday night, particularly along I-70 and I-77. Outdoor plans in cities such as Pittsburgh, Wheeling, and Marietta may face minor interruptions, but conditions should improve by Monday afternoon.

Residents are encouraged to monitor local weather updates, as minor changes in rainfall are possible. Overall, the region will stay in a quiet weather pattern, with no significant river rises or severe weather expected through next week.
