Gray, blustery and cooler, showers ending as flurries Friday
Low clouds will linger behind a cold front, as winds slowly subside, though still gusty at times. Temperatures will fall into the 40s, with isolated showers developing as a disturbance aloft moves across the region.
As colder air settles into Ohio overnight, rain showers will become more widespread, mixing with wet snowflakes toward daybreak, with readings dipping into the mid-30s. A light accumulation of snow is possible on grassy and elevated surfaces north of Columbus around daybreak.
Morning rain and snow showers Friday will give way to some breaks in the clouds in the afternoon, but temperatures will only reach the mid-40s. Skies will gradually clear Friday night, sending readings down to near 30 Saturday morning.
Cooler weather will return for the first weekend of April. High temperatures will top out in the low 50s. Skies will turn cloudy Saturday afternoon, with showers arriving later in the day ahead of a weak disturbance that will keep light rain in the forecast Saturday night.
Clouds will break on Sunday, as high pressure arrives. Temperatures will top out in the low 50s. Mild weather returns next week, but so does the rain Monday night and Tuesday with the next spring storm.
