FORECAST DISCUSSION:

Happy Tuesday!

Following a very unseasonably cool day in Central Ohio, we kick off a warming trend today. We'll see a lot more sunshine, too! Expect highs to warm to the middle 70s in Columbus, with mostly sunny skies, and just a light wind. Humidity also remains nice and comfortable.

Then for Wednesday, expect continued sunshine, comfortable humidity, with highs warming into the low to middle 80s. This puts us back near normal for this point in the year.

Thursday will be a warm one, with highs in the upper 80s, close to 90. We'll continue to see sunshine, and humidity will still be fairly pleasant.

By Friday, we've got a quick, weak cold front that works through. Expect a slight stick to the air, with a few isolated storm chances. Not a widespread rain day, but a few of us will get a quick pop-up. Highs stick in the upper 80s.

Humidity then drops once again into the weekend, but it will be a warm one. Expect highs in the middle 80s Saturday, then into the lower 90s on Sunday.
