FORECAST DISCUSSION:

Tuesday does bring a quite a bit more sunshine across Central Ohio. Sunny skies does not equal warmer temperatures. On the contrary, the cold front will keep our high temps in the low-mid 40s in the area. This downward trend will only continue over the next seven days.

The cold temperature trend continues into the night. Lows across the city are expected to fall to 32 degrees with rural areas expected to fall into the upper 20s. With breezy conditions coming to a temporary end there will not be a wind chill with these colder temps. Skies are expected to stay partly cloudy overnight.

Wednesday starts of colder, but quiet. Partly cloudy skies in the morning will eventually fill in with more clouds. Rain chances continually increase as the day goes on. By the early evening most of Central Ohio will see scattered rain. High temperatures tomorrow are expected to reach the mid 40s.

By Thanksgiving Thursday and Black Friday there will be a few chances for a wintry mix to fall. The Game next Saturday will be very cold. Temperatures by kickoff will be below freezing and there will not be too much warming during the day.
