COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) — Good Tuesday morning! Grab the rain gear for one more day. The cut-off low pressure system, that has caused our rain the last 5 days, is directly over Ohio on Tuesday.
TUESDAY: Cloudy, steady rain & showers, high 62.TONIGHT: Rain showers leaving, partial clearing, low 53.WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy, very slight chance for rain, high 74.THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy, few showers possible, high 67.FRIDAY: Mostly sunny, high 68.SATURDAY: Mostly sunny, high 75.SUNDAY: Mostly sunny, high 79.MONDAY: Early sun with more clouds later, high 81.
The last several days we have been caught in some of the bands of rain and storms developing while we were on the warmer side of the system, but today we will start to shift to the back-side and cooler side of the system. This will cause rain showers and persistent rain to drift down from the north. So Northern Ohio and Central Ohio will have rain showers drifting from north to south, but our winds will be coming out of the southwest today. A few showers may make their way down to Southern Ohio, but not as much rain. Temps are starting off around the lower 50s and we will only warm into the lower 60s today. The entire system will shift farther east later today and tonight, so the chance of rain will be dropping this evening and tonight with the clouds starting to break up. 80% chance of rain today. Rainfall totals will vary, but we are expecting around 1″ in North/Western Ohio today to about half an inch in Central Ohio and lower totals to the south.
Wednesday will start off cool, with temps in the lower 50s. We will have a mix of sun & clouds for Wednesday with a high temp around 74 and a light breeze out of the northwest. There is still a very slim chance for a stray rain shower on Wednesday, but most of Ohio will remain dry. There is a slightly better chance for a couple of rain showers on Thursday with a cold front. We will be mostly cloudy with a high around 67 on Thursday. 20% chance of rain Wednesday then 30% chance on Thursday.
Lots of sunshine for Friday and the weekend as we start warming back up. We will stay cool on Friday, with a high around 68. By Saturday we will be mostly sunny with a high around 75. Mother’s Day on Sunday will be even warmer, with a high around 79 with mostly sunny skies. A few more clouds arriving through the day Monday, as we warm to a high around 81. Some rain looks to return next Tuesday. Have a good one!
