With nearly a week left before Christmas, Ohio is experiencing unseasonably warm weather. High temperatures have lingered in the 50s and 60s in recent days. The Climate Prediction Center’s temperature outlook forecasted a 40 to 50% and 50 to 60% chance Southwest Ohio would experience warmer temperatures than normal from Dec. 19 through Christmas.
High are expected to reach around 61 degrees Friday and a cooler 47 degrees Saturday.
