Ohio News and Weather (ONW) was started on April 7, 2011 with the mindset of keeping Columbus and surrounding areas ahead of the weather. It continued to grow and by 2015, all of Ohio and several counties in Indiana and West Virginia were a part of our coverage area. Our trademark is weather, but we will post news items that matter to you on occasion. This may include breaking news, national news, sports, or anything we feel like posting. We welcome fans from all over, no matter where you live and hopefully you will find our forecasts to be very accurate and our coverage of severe weather to be unmatched!
We love sharing viewer photos of clouds, sun, rain, snow, or thunderstorms. You can post directly to our timeline, comment on a post, or even send us a message! We love to interact with all of you on a daily basis, so please send us your pictures often and you may see them featured on Facebook!
We cover all 88 counties in Ohio, 20 counties in Indiana, and 16 counties in West Virginia. Why so large? We want to keep you ahead of weather, giving you plenty of lead time to prepare for what’s to come. Also, this allows us to partner with MOVWU to assist them with covering severe weather, or just helping with daily operations.
