FORECAST DISCUSSION:

Good Wednesday evening!

It might be dry across Central Ohio, but it is still cloudy and much cooler. Temperatures have fallen behind yesterdays cold front. But, we are in store for a warm up as we get closer to the weekend.

Skies will clear through the rest of Wednesday night. Overnight, temperatures will cool off a little more, eventually landing close to freezing. Skies will remain open through Thursday, giving us plenty of sunshine. Temperatures will remain seasonable in the mid to lower 50s.

A little bit of moisture moves in by Friday, giving us a chance for a sprinkle or two in the morning. Later in the day, temperatures will be even warmer in the lower 60s and upper 50s. The 60s will stay steady over the weekend, with some days reaching the mid 60s.

Our next system will move in by Friday night and into the weekend. It will remain fairly stubborn in the Midwest, spiking rain chances on Saturday that linger into Sunday. There is finally a little movement behind it on Monday and Tuesday. That will bring rain chances up, but it will start to clear out by Wednesday.

Temperatures will remain well above average for Monday, but we will start to cool by Tuesday back into the 50s. We're back near average numbers next Wednesday in the lower 50s.
