FORECAST DISCUSSION:

A beautiful weekend is in store for all of Central Ohio. Thanks to a ridge of high pressure that has settled over the region skies will stay bright and sunny. This is the perfect recipe for fantastic weather for any outdoor plans whether it's the last day of the Circleville Pumpkin Show today or the Nationwide Children's Hospital Columbus Marathon Sunday.

Calm winds are expected today with today's round of sunny skies. The stretch of above average temperatures will continue with highs this afternoon reaching the low 70s. Normal highs for this time of year would be in the mid 60.

Tonight the clear skies continue and the winds will be even calmer. Lows overnight will fall to the mid 40s. These quiet conditions will continue into the morning for the runners and supporters preparing for the Columbus Marathon.

Tomorrow keeps the sunshine across the entire region. The draw of warmer air from the south will bump up the temperatures just a little bit more. With highs in the mid 70s temperatures will run about 10 degrees above normal.

The start of the work week will also stay warm with plenty of sunshine. More clouds will increase by Tuesday. A cold front will make its way towards Central Ohio by Wednesday night brining a few rain shower chances. Cooler and seasonable conditions return by the end of the work week with another round of sunshine.
