FORECAST DISCUSSION:
Good Tuesday Evening,
It has been another very warm day today, with highs back into the lower 90s. Isolated showers and a few rumbles will start to move into our area overnight tonight. Some of these showers could be slow movers and could produce efficient rainfall rates. Lows overnight will drop only into the lower 70s with plenty of humidity.
Wednesday during the day, expect scattered showers and storms popping up ahead of the cold front. Some of these showers will be slow movers producing possible heavy rainfall in parts of our area. High temps will struggle to the lower 80s in most locations on Wednesday.
Because of the chance of heavy rainfall, parts of Central Ohio remain under a flood watch through 7pm on Wednesday.
Behind the front, we will see clearing skies, and a beautiful day on Thursday with highs only in the upper 70s. We will have another beautiful day on Friday with a cool start in the upper 50s and highs into the lower 80s on Friday.
The weekend promises to bring more sunshine and seasonal temps with highs in the middle 80s on Saturday and mid to upper 80s on Sunday. Clouds will increase early next work week, with highs in the mid to upper 80s again on Monday, and middle 80s on Tuesday. We will have a few isolated showers possible by Monday night, with better chances of showers and a few rumbles by next Tuesday.
