March weather forecast
Ohio, USA

March signifies the beginning of a transitional period in Ohio, as winter's grip begins to loosen and hints of spring emerge. Temperatures rise moderately, with minimum temperatures ranging from 28°F (-2.2°C) to 30°F (-1.1°C), and maximum temperatures extending from 45°F (7.2°C) to 48°F (8.9°C).

In the northern areas, especially near Lake Erie, temperatures remain cooler, and lingering snowstorms may still occur. In contrast, the southern parts of the state start to experience the warming effects more profoundly.

Snowfall diminishes significantly compared to the preceding winter months, making way for increased rainfall. March marks the shift from predominant snow to rain, which occurs throughout the state. Precipitation may include thunderstorms, particularly in the southern regions.

Cities in the extreme south and near Lake Erie continue to exhibit distinct weather characteristics. The lake's influence on nearby cities begins to regain its moderating effect, though the transition is gradual.

Compared to the frigid temperatures and substantial snowfall of January and February, March stands out as a month of change.

The weather in March serves as an intermediary phase, bridging the gap between the cold winter and the forthcoming warmth of spring.
