FORECAST DISCUSSION:

Happy Friday!

Expect a scattered wintry mix starting this morning, and lasting through much of the day. This will lead to some light snow accumulations in spots, and also some slick areas on the roads, so be mindful of that in your travels. Highs stick in the mid to upper 30s today.

That system clears, then we dry out into the weekend. Clouds will break up Saturday, with highs falling back close to 30. It will be a chilly evening for the Ohio State game, with temperatures falling through the 20s.

We'll see even more sunshine on Sunday, with highs sticking in the upper 20s to near 30.

By Monday, our next system will be approaching, increasing our cloud coverage throughout the day. We kick off a warming trend for the holiday week, sending highs close to 40. A wintry mix then arrives late Monday into Tuesday morning.

Expect scattered rain for part of Tuesday, with highs into the lower 40s for Christmas Eve.

We look to stay mild, just cloudy, with a few spotty shower chances into Christmas Day. Highs continue to warm, into the middle 40s by that point.
