Forecast highlights
👍 Pleasant weather rolls on
Yesterday was, dare I say, a little cool! The numbers won’t fluctuate a whole lot over the next several days, coming up a few degrees for midweek before another little dip to finish the week.
Readings should gradually climb back up to around 80 for Labor Day. It’ll certainly be a comfortable holiday weekend.
🌦️ Shower chance remains low, but not zero
A weak disturbance is still on track to swing across the region Thursday into Thursday night. The odds it’ll produce showers here in central Ohio remain low, but there’s a chance that afternoon and evening nonetheless.
Moisture increases a bit ahead of a cold front (the blue line in the animation below… yeah, it’s rudimentary but I also don’t have the wallet of a TV station for fancypants graphics). The better “forcing” will be to our north, where shower chances are higher.
Whatever might develop locally will be light and more of a brief nuisance than anything consequential.
Winds swing around from the northwest behind the front, drying out our air once again.
