FORECAST DISCUSSION:

The new workweek starts with the next cold front that will bring rain chances late in the day. Wind speeds will stay fairly breezy both ahead of the cold front and after it passes. This will also be the last relatively warm day with highs in the mid 50s. Temperatures will begin to take a tumble once more.

Rain will taper off as the night goes on. Winds will stay breezy. Air temps will fall to the upper 30s in the city, but with the breeze the wind chill temps will make it feel like its in the low 30s heading out the door tomorrow morning.

Tuesday does bring a quite a bit more sunshine across Central Ohio. Sunny skies does not equal warmer temperatures. On the contrary, the cold front will keep our high temps in the low-mid 40s in the area. This downward trend will only continue over the next seven days.

By Thanksgiving Thursday and Black Friday there will be a few chances for a wintry mix to fall. The Game next Saturday will be very cold. Temperatures by kickoff will be below freezing and there will not be too much warming during the day.
