Summer-like weekend gives way to crisp fall week
An area of high pressure shifted east, pumping in warm southwesterly winds that sent temperatures soaring into the upper 80s.
A strong low-pressure area north of the Great Lakes is dragging a cold front southeast across Ohio this evening. A narrow band of showers and storms developed over the northeastern part of the state with gusty winds and brief heavy rain, which will exit around sunset.
Tonight will bring breezy and drier air, with clearing skies and temperatures falling into the upper 40s toward morning.
In the wake of the cold front, pleasantly cool weather will follow all week. We'll see lots of sunshine. Highs will only reach the mid- to upper 60s, with morning readings in the low 40s, and upper 30s in the cooler spots.
Cooler weather with abundant sunshine will help bring out more fall colors across Ohio in the next couple of weeks.
