Weather goes on cruise control this week

🤓 Nerd stats: Columbus just had three days in the 70s from Thursday to Saturday — the first such streak since June 7–10. And the three lows cooler than 60 were the first since the very beginning of June, a full two months ago.

Today’s tl;dr

🌤️ Mostly sunny, high in the lower 80s.

Forecast highlights

🌻 Seasonably summer-feeling

We won’t be constantly sweating this week like we were for… I guess almost all of last month?

The delightfully dry weather of the past few days basically sticks around for the next few. Dew points come up a little, but it’s not until later in the week that they’ll actually be a bit more noticeable.

Those are still be a far cry from the tropical 70s dew points we endured many days last month.

Highs will also be in the lower to eventually middle 80s this week, which is right about normal.

☀️ Overall dry week

High clouds this afternoon may be mixed with high-up Canadian wildfire smoke as it drifts across the state. It’ll remain far aloft and not affect air quality.

Without much moisture return, the weak disturbances crossing the region in the coming days won’t do much. We have a low-end chance of showers Tuesday and Wednesday, but I don’t expect much locally, if we get anything at all.

Indeed, you can see the bulk of the rain should bypass us over the next week. While it won’t be blazingly hot during this dry spell, the plants will still need watering.
