- Get ready for frigid air behind today's front. Temperatures will drop drastically over the next several hours, entering the 40s Sunday morning.

- Enjoy the warmer-than-average temperatures while they last! We’ll stay in the lower 70s on Wednesday with periods of clouds, followed by partly sunny skies Thursday as highs climb near 80 degrees.
By Friday, clouds increase, and a little energy moves in ahead of a stronger storm system. That could spark a few light showers to end the workweek, with overnight lows dipping into the 50s and low 60s.
WEATHER AWARE: Saturday is the day to watch — especially for areas north of Columbus early in the day. We’re weather-aware for both the morning and again late afternoon into the evening, when storms could become more vigorous, farther south. The set-up is there so stay tuned for updates as we track the potential for severe weather.
Conditions clear quickly after midnight Saturday night, but colder air rushes in. Sunday turns windy and cooler, with highs in the upper 50s and lows falling into the mid-40s.

- Description
- After a fairly seasonable weekend, we're go to see a nice warmup next week. We'll start out the week near 70, with mid 70s likely by midweek. A front to our north will help introduce a chance for some isolated showers Wednesday. That front stalls over the region on Thursday, so we'll have an isolated shower possbile through Saturday, before it finally moves futher south and leaves us with a dry Sunday. Next weekend is looking a little chilly, but the chill doesn't last long as we warm back up.
