FORECAST DISCUSSION:

Happy Thursday!

Our temperatures warm back above-average this afternoon, sending highs into the upper 70s for Central Ohio. We'll see lots of sunshine, with comfortable humidity, and just a light wind.

For tomorrow, we'll still see mainly sunny skies, with highs warming near 80. By afternoon, a few more clouds start to filter in ahead of a weak, mainly dry frontal boundary passing through. That brings mainly a few clouds, with just a very isolated sprinkle chance during the evening. It will be a great evening for Football Friday Nite plans.

By Saturday, we're mainly sunny, once again, with highs dropping back to the upper 70s. A comfortable afternoon for the Ohio State vs. Iowa game.

Sunday will be a bit warmer, with a few more clouds out. Highs warm to the lower 80s, with an approaching cold front on the way. That front brings the chance for a few spotty showers and rumbles, mainly late in the day.

We clear up Monday, but we cool off big time. Expect highs in the upper 60s to kick off the next workweek.
