FORECAST DISCUSSION:
Sunday will bring a more clouds across central Ohio. We are continuing with our trend of seasonal temperatures. For the most part it will stay very pleasant outside for any activities. Highs will be in the mid 70s and lows will be in the upper 50s. This will be the last day we will see good bursts of sunshine until the end of the week.
The new week will bring a few changes. Skies will stay mostly cloudy through Monday. No weather related issues are expected for the getting the kids on the bus or for the morning drive into work. There will be the off chance for a sprinkle or two, but that will be in the later part of the evening. Highs will stay in the mid 70s. Lows will only fall to around 60 degrees with the cloud layer hanging over central Ohio.
Rain chances will really begin to increase across central Ohio during in the middle of the week. Our best chances for much needed rain will be between Tuesday through Thursday, with Wednesday giving us the biggest chance. Portions of the region can expect up to a half in of rain with a couple of pockets seeing more. Highs will stay in the low 70s, a little bitt cooler for this time of year.
Beyond this week we are expecting drier than normal weather to settle in, so hopefully we can squeeze out as much rain as possible. Every drop will matter. We will also begin another upswing in our temperatures. The weekend will see a return to the upper 70s, and we are looking at above normal temperatures moving in by the end of the month.

FORECAST DISCUSSION:
Sunday will keep plenty of cloud cover and bring limited rain chances to the area. Temperatures will still be below normal for time of year, but only by a few degrees. Highs today will only be in the mid 70s. Tonight the clouds start to break up and clearing skies will help our temperatures drop to the upper 50s.
Monday will be the last chance that we will see near 80 degree temps for a long while. We are expecting partly cloudy skies and highs around 79 in the city and upper 70s in the outlaying areas.
Rain chances will really increase by Tuesday as more widespread showers and a thunderstorm or two will pass through the state. Highs will only be in the low 70s. Rainfall totals won’t be more than .10 of an inch. This will be one of the few rain chances we will see in the area as we hit the mid point of September.
Lingering rain will last through Wednesday as temps the rest of the week will only make it to the low 70s. We are going to stay in the low 70s for the rest of the work week. It will definitely feel like fall has arrives early. Long term in general we will stay mild and dry.
