FORECAST DISCUSSION:
Good Tuesday evening!
Skies have dried out across Central Ohio, but we are still pretty cloudy. Temperatures have remained fairly seasonable for this time of year. Going into the holiday and the rest of the week, we're tracking better chances of rain returning to the area.
Clouds remain steady for the rest of tonight, but we're dry. So, Santa should have no issue delivering presents to Central Ohio by tomorrow morning. For Christmas Day, clouds aren't going anywhere. Temperatures are still in the lower 40s. A few showers will move into the western edge of the area, but fall as some light rain.
A little bit of sunshine returns for Thursday with temperatures still on the warming trend. We're just shy of 50, but push above that mark going into Friday and the weekend. The weekend will be very warm for this time of year with numbers in the mid to upper 50s.
Showers return late Friday and remain pretty steady for the weekend. We do manage to slightly dry out by Monday of next week, but showers return for Tuesday. Temperatures remain warm, but are cooling to the lower 50s before New Years.
