Columbus and Central Ohio Weather

High pressure will bring another day of sunshine on Thursday weather. As the high shifts off to the east, a return flow of southerly winds will push temperatures toward 80 degrees. Some high clouds will overspread the region ahead of a storm system in the Central states.

The arrival of higher humidity will create a chance for scattered showers and isolated storms this weekend, with the first round of showers arriving in time for the Friday morning commute.  

A frontal boundary will then sag south, serving as a focus for occasional showers and a few storms. There will be dry periods, so a washout is not expected. 

A disturbance will eventually push through on Monday, with rain lingering for a time, before skies clear earl in the week, with seasonable conditions.
