Columbus and Central Ohio Weather

We only caught a glimpse of the full Snow Moon, as clouds moved in tonight, which will hold readings nearly steady in the mid-30s. The weather will be breezy, but without the stronger gusts during the day.

A weak cold front crossing the state will keep skies mostly cloudy, with gusty southwesterly winds (20-30 mph) pushing temperatures into th emid to upper 40s. A stray sprinkle is possible but a lack of moisture will limit rain chances to slight in the afternoon. 

High pressure will arrive on Monday, with sunshine and mild conditions (mid-40s). Skies will turn cloudy Tuesday ahead of another weak cold front, but with a better chance for afternoon and evening showers. 

In between systems, Wednesday will start off day, before a storm organizing in the southern Plains draws moisture northward resulting in periods of rain Wednesday night and Thursday. Chilly air will filter into Ohio after the storm moves away. A secondary low could deliver a wintry mix later in the weekend.
