Warm, sticky, scattered storms later

Central Ohio Weather and Radar

Skies will remain partly sunny on a warm, humid summer afternoon. High temperatures will peak in the mid-80s.

A disturbance will trigger scattered showers and storms later this afternoon and evening, with a few stronger storms capable of producing damaging winds and hail, primarily over the northern part of the state ahead of a sagging frontal boundary.

The trailing cold front will cross the state beginning tonight, with a few showers and isolated storms. Low temperatures will dip into the mid-60s.

Scattered showers and storms are possible Thursday as the cold front pushes across the southeastern part of the state.

Less humid air will filter into Ohio the rest of the week, as high pressure builds across the Great Lakes, creating a northwesterly flow.

A warm-up this weekend will push readings back into the upper 80s as high pressure pushes off to the east, creating a southerly flow, and eventually into the low 90s. A few showers and storms could return as early as late Sunday, and more likely early next week.
