Forecast Ohio is the definitive portal for the Buckeye State's weather and climate — built to make the official National Weather Service forecast fast, clean, and highway-clear for all 88 counties, from the Lake Erie shore to the Ohio River.
Ohio sits at the seam of three weather regimes. Lake Erie drives the Snowbelt east of Cleveland, where a single county can measure snow in feet while its neighbor stays bare. Ohio Valley supercells and squall lines bring the spring and summer severe season, and the derechos that run the state end to end. And the Ohio, the Scioto, the Great Miami and the Cuyahoga carry the floods. Forecast Ohio is being built to tell that whole story — county by county, region by region.
The look borrows from the American Interstate system — the reflective paper, the green guide signs, the blue service signs, the brown recreation signs, and the red-white-and-blue route shields — set in Overpass, the typeface drawn from the Highway Gothic lettering on those signs. Ohio takes a warm sandstone paper and a Buckeye bronze accent, the color of the nut itself — its own note in the network.
Ohio is covered close-up by 8 region sites, each on its own subdomain of forecastohio.com — the same maps, the same live radar and the same climate record as this site, drawn to one metro or region instead of the whole state, with a page for every city in it. They are part of Forecast Ohio, not separate sites: /about on any of them lands back here.
Every state Ohio touches is live: Forecast Michigan to the northwest, Forecast Indiana to the west, Forecast Kentucky across the Ohio River below Cincinnati, Forecast Pennsylvania off the eastern line, and Forecast Virginia, which carries West Virginia along the whole southeastern bank of the river — all tinted in their own accents on the hero map and clickable across the state line. The rest of the Forecast <State> network is part of the same system.
