FORECAST DISCUSSION:

As the afternoon goes on there will be more sunshine across central Ohio. The cool dry air is not going anywhere. Temperatures are only going to reach the low-mid 70s for the daytime high. This is about 10 degrees below normal for this time of year. Dew points are also staying low, so it will feel very comfortable outside all day.

Overnight will be very cool, and maybe a bit chilly for some. Lows for most of the area will drop close to the 50 degree mark. Winds will become very light. Skies are expected to stay mostly clear. Overall it will be a very quiet night.

Tomorrow bumps our temperatures ever so slightly. Most of central Ohio will reach the mid 70s with more abundant sunshine. Will the dry air staying it will continue to feel very comfortable during the day.

A summerlike warm up will return by this upcoming Friday and will last through the weekend and a little beyond. The jet stream will lift well to the north allowing the sharp rise in temperatures. Central Ohio could see a return to the 90s as early as Saturday.
