FORECAST DISCUSSION:

More rain rolls in on Monday. By the time all is said and done about another .75" of rain will fall across much of Central Ohio. Highs will also really warm up as temps top off in the mid 50s. Winds will also become very breezy this afternoon with gusts going over 30 mph.

These warm temps will not last much longer as a cold front arrives tonight night. This cold front will help clear out our skies as showers begin to taper off. Lows overnight are expected to fall into the mid 30. Gusty winds at times will also continue.

Tomorrow brings more sunshine into Central Ohio. Partly cloudy skies will move in and overall conditions will stay much calmer. Temperatures will still stay above average for this time of year. Highs are going to top off in the mid-upper 40s.

More chances for scattered rain pop up in the middle of the week. Temperatures will continue on their downward trend as well. Eventually a dip in the jet stream will drop temps to below normal for this time of year by this upcoming weekend. This includes temps below the freezing point by kickoff of the upcoming game at Ohio Stadium.
