Warm, sticky, isolated showers, cooler, dry weekend

Central Ohio Weather and Radar

The weather continues to be warm and quite humid, with more clouds than sunshine today. Afternoon temperatures reached the mid- to upper 80s. A boundary over eastern Ohio will be the focus for isolated showers through tonight, as it lifts to the northwest.

Tonight, the remnants of Tropical Storm Debby moving northward east of the Appalachians will brush the eastern part of the state through Friday morning, with most of the rain staying east of central Ohio.

A cold front will push east across the state Friday, sparking a few more showers over eastern half Ohio that will link up with the remnant low-pressure area. Temperatures will rise into the mid-80s, but the humidity will begin drop as winds pick up from the northwest.

A push of significantly cooler, drier air will arrive in the wake of the storm system. Skies will be mostly sunny through the weekend, with unusually pleasant temperatures in the 70s and low humidity. Morning readings will be in the comfortable 50s.
