FORECAST DISCUSSION:

Portions of central Ohio have now entered a severe drought state. Other spots, including Columbus, are still in a moderate drought. This weekend we are not tracking any rain chances to alleviate this, but more rain is expected later in the new week.

Saturday will start off mostly clear thanks to a center of high pressure within the region. A few more clouds will build up at the day goes on. Temperatures will top off in the mid 80. This is about average for this time of the year. A nice northerly wind flow will keep drier air and lower humidity

Tonight skies will be mostly clear for the majority of the night. By the morning those skies will become partly cloudy. Temperatures will fall to the low 60s. A very quiet night weather wise is expected.

Tomorrow brings even more sunshine along with slightly warmer temperatures. Highs will reach the upper 80s. With dew points staying in the mid-upper 50s the lower humidity levels will make it feel fairly comfortable.
