FORECAST DISCUSSION:
Happy Tuesday!
We start the day off on a dry note, with gradually increasing cloud coverage. We’ll see highs warm into the middle 70s, with a light breeze. A warm front then lifts north through the state this afternoon, and we’ll see a few spotty showers as a result, between about 2-5 PM for Central Ohio, and lingering just a bit longer for our eastern counties. This is not a day where everyone will see showers, but some of us will.
As a result, we’ve got an isolated severe threat, mainly for strong winds and hail.
More rain then arrives overnight and into Wednesday. Expect showers and rumbles during the morning, then some dry time through the middle of the day, before more rain and thunderstorms arrive along a cold front during the afternoon and evening. We will see a slightly higher, 2-out-of-5 risk for a strong to severe storm during that timeframe.
Main threats will be strong winds and large hail, with an isolated tornado chance.
Thursday will be dry, and we start to clear up. We’ll see some sunshine, with highs dropping back near 70.
We then start Friday off with a few spotty showers during the morning, then clearing into the afternoon. Highs fall back to the middle 60s for Friday.
