FORECAST DISCUSSION:

Saturday starts of fair across central Ohio. Partly cloudy skies continue during the morning with mild temperatures in the low 50s. As the day goes on, more clouds will increase becoming overcast. Temperatures will top off in the low 80s. Winds will be from the south at 5-10 mph.

Overnight rain chances will begin to pick up as our next system approaches the region. As the low pressure center passes, no big chances for thunderstorms are expected. Scattered showers will occur on and off. Lows will be a lot warmer than recent nights. Temperatures will only drop to the low 60s.

Sunday brings continued rain chances. Most of them will be in the morning, but a couple afternoon showers are possible as well. A much cooler day is on tap with below average high temperatures only reaching the mid 70s. There still are no big chances for thunderstorms with the rain, but a rumble of thunder or two is not out of the question.

The first full week of June brings scattered storm chances during the middle of the week. Highs will stay in the 80s. A cooling trend eventually returns by Friday. By that time rain chances will also subside a bit and more sunshine will stick around for a little bit.
