Columbus and Central Ohio Weather

A weak area of low pressure over western Lake Erie is drawing in slightly cooler and less humid air into Ohio early tonight, bringing a nice evening.

Late tonight an area of showers and storms over the Midwest will drop southeast into the southwest half of Ohio before daybreak, weakening and moving away shortly after dawn.

A storm will track from northern Illinois to the southern Great Lakes Monday afternoon, triggering a few lines of showers and gusty storms focused ahead of a cold front. A few storms could be strong to severe. Afternoon readings will be in the low 80s, under mostly cloudy skies.

After a cold front moves through by early Tuesday, skies will gradually clear. Temperatures will cool down, with highs in the upper 70s. Wednesday will be sunny and seasonable, with readings in the low to mid-80s.

Showers and storms will return with a frontal system Thursday and Friday.
