Good Friday morning! Keep that rain gear handy! A few isolated showers are possible during the first half of today. This afternoon we will warm into the mid-70s for the showers to strengthen to scattered storms. There is a slight chance for a few storms to pack gusty winds and hail. Today, there is a 70% chance of rain, so most of the area will pick up some rain, but not a guarantee for everyone. A cold front will swing through tonight and that will give us our best chance for rain later today and this evening.
Cooler with more rain for the weekend. Saturday will have steady rain at times, including downpours. It will be a cloudy & wet day with temps in the upper 50s and lower 60s most of the day. By Sunday we will be mostly cloudy with on and off rain. We warm into the mid-60s on Sunday. A few rumbles of thunder are possible this weekend, but severe weather is not as likely. Rainfall totals by Sunday night will be 1”-2” for most of Central Ohio. 100% chance of rain on Saturday then 70% chance on Sunday.
\The rain starts to break up early next week. Monday and Tuesday we will warm into the upper 60s with a 40% chance of rain each day. We will be mostly cloudy with an occasional shower or two. Wednesday and Thursday will only have a 20% chance of rain with mostly cloudy skies for most of the day. We also warm into the 70s again by Wednesday and Thursday. Have a good one!
