Beautiful football forecast in store for central Ohio

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Central Ohio saw plenty of rain showers last weekend. Now the page has turned and calm conditions will carry into the weekend. From Friday through Sunday fans who go out to watch games across the state will be able to enjoy Mother Nature and the play on the field.

Football Friday Nite will begin with mainly clear skies and temperatures fairly above average. As the night goes on, a few more clouds will build up across central Ohio. Winds during the whole evening are expected to stay pretty calm.

The Buckeyes return to Ohio Stadium will be picturesque. The majority of Saturday afternoon will be sunny. It will be another day with temperatures running a little above average with highs reaching the mid 70s. Winds again will be very light. By the end of the game everyone will cool down into the 60s for a very comfortable evening.

Only one NFL game takes place in Ohio this Sunday. The Baltimore Ravens will come into Cincinnati to take on the Bengals and another sunny day in Ohio. Fans traveling from Columbus will not see any weather related issues. They can then expect mostly sunny skies and temperatures reaching the 80s. More clouds will build up on the drive home. Eventually on Sunday a cold front will move through bringing another chance of rain showers.
