NE Ohio, we added more plastic wrap to the top because we were getting rain and snow into the run the other day. Tonight we are getting some good snow and for the most part it is staying out of the run. Both peaks have this much exposed. The sides are wrapped with plastic to protect them from wind. The roof is covered by a tarp and can kinda flap a little bit with the wind. We’ve had it wrapped for a few days like this I have not notice any moisture build up on the plastic. We have 4 wyandottes. Is this enough ventilation or should I lower it a bit?

Welcome!
More ventilation would be good, can you open it up on the leeward side at least? Your coop also has nearly no ventilation, at least on the two sides in the photo.
A few years ago I added two thermometer/ hygrometer wall units, cheap at TSC or where ever, and it helps me see how things are doing out there. We also are in a humid climate just north of you, and the coop can't be dryer than the ambient humidity ever anyway. Seeing condensation inside is a bad thing, however...

And i also want better ventilation on the west side of our coop, which also has inadequate roof overhangs there, so it needs another house type wall vent installed, not by me.
