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 starts off soggy across much of central Ohio. Rain chances will go down as the morning goes on, but will pick up a little bit later in the afternoon. Spotty showers can be expected during the later part of the day. While there will be plenty of breaks in the clouds that will let the sun shine through, don’t be surprised when a quick shower passes by your area. Highs will be in the mid 70s.

Tonight the rain chances go back down and will stay down. Skies will eventually become partly cloudy. Lows will fall into the mid 50s. Overall this will be a pretty quiet and calm night with light winds coming from the north.

Monday will bring back the sunshine little by little across central Ohio. A drier pattern will also begin to settle in as well. High pressure will move in and help keep our conditions calm and quiet. Highs will only be in the low 70s, but this will be the coolest day that we will see for some time.

A warming trend begins through the new work week. by Tuesday we are back in the mid 70s, and by the end of the week the 80s make a come back to central Ohio. During this whole time expect plenty of sunshine as summer comes to an end. The autumnal equinox will happen early Saturday morning. That will begin the astronomical start of the fall season.
