FORECAST DISCUSSION:
Saturday will be a great day as far as weather goes for Central Ohio. Skies will be partly cloudy for most of the day. High temperatures will be above average running in the upper 70s. These above average temps will be coming to an end as a system will move over the region over the next couple of days.
Tonight skies will vary between partly and mostly cloudy during the night. warmer air will stick around as well. Lows will only drop to around 60 degrees in the city and mid 50s in the outlaying areas. By the early morning hours the wind speeds are expected to pick up a little bit, but it won't be too breezy.
Temperatures on Sunday do cool down a little bit. There will be isolated chanced for spotty sprinkles. North of Columbus can see the majority of the rain that will fall. All of this comes along a cold front that will move through by Sunday night.
The new work week comes with a blast of very cool air. High will be in the mid-upper 50s with overnight lows getting closer and closer to the freezing point. Breezy conditions are expected on Monday, but those winds eventually die down. Sunny skies will return by the second half of the week.
