FORECAST DISCUSSION:

Happy Friday!

Our drought continues to worsen across Central Ohio, with additional burn bans now in place due to around 2 dozen counties being under an extreme or exceptional drought. Unfortunately, we're not looking at much rain through the end of the extended.

For today, expect a few more clouds out, as clouds from what was Hurricane Francine move into the Ohio Valley. Temperatures stay warm, however, topping out in the upper 80s this afternoon.

We stick in the upper 80s through the weekend, with dry weather, outside of a southern sprinkle chance Saturday. Most of us will remain completely dry, with a good bit of sunshine.

These above-average temperatures hold in place next week as well, with highs in the middle 80s, and very minimal rain chances going into the midweek.
