FORECAST DISCUSSION:
Most of Wednesday will stay dry and relatively uneventful. As the day goes on there are going to be more clouds and skies will eventually become overcast. The southeasterly breeze is bringing warmer air back into Central Ohio. Highs are expected to top off in the upper 50s.
Overnight will be a much different situation. Additional chances of showers move in Wednesday night into Thursday. This comes with the third cold front of the week, but it is going to be aided by some tropical moisture from the remnants of Rafael in the gulf. Lows will only fall to the mid 40s.
Rain showers will continue into Thursday. Steady rainfall rates and breezy conditions are going to be the highlight of the morning and most of the afternoon. New rainfall totals will reach 0.75" for a good portion of Central Ohio with pockets south of the city seeing more. Seasonable temperatures are expected only reaching the low 50s
Dry conditions will return once again by Friday. Central Ohio as clouds start to clear out again. The whole eastern half of the country will enter a stretch of well above average temperatures as the second half of the month continues. This weekend and part of next workweek will look forward to temperatures in the low 60s.
