A Canadian high-pressure area will settle southward for the remainder of the week, promoting sunshine and pleasant weather, if a little on the cool side. High temperatures will only reach the upper 60s this afternoon, and mid-70s on Friday.
The holiday weekend will be mainly dry, with some cloudiness, as an upper-level low over the Southeast draws moisture northwest around a coastal disturbance. A few light showers could reach southeast Ohio Saturday night and Sunday, with a smaller chance for a passing shower in the Columbus area.
The system should begin drifting back to the east on Memorial Day, setting the stage for a warmup and summerlike temperatures next week.
