Today will bring a lot more sunshine and calmer conditions. Winds will be light. Temperatures will be a little warmer, but still a bit below average. Highs will top off in the upper 40s. We can expect the mainly clear skies to continue into the night. Lows Sunday night won’t be nearly as cold, only dropping into the mid 30s.

Tonight we will start to see a few clouds building up, especially by the morning hours. Winds will pick up only a little bit, but they will also begin to shift directions and come from the southeast. This will be the start to the flow of warmer air moving into Central Ohio.

Clouds will begin to increase on Monday along with that warmer air moving in. Temperatures will increase into the mid 60s. This will be the warmest day in the seven day forecast. We'll also start to see some slightly breezy conditions by the afternoon ours.

Tuesday will bring another round of rain showers along a cold front to Central Ohio. Not a lot of accumulation will e expected with these showers. The rain will linger into Wednesday with more mild air. The end of the work week will be sunny with more seasonable temperatures. A few rain showers will build up by the weekend.
