Wednesday Soaker; Eyeing Wintry Weather Chances.

TODAY: A wide range of high temperatures today as a cold front pushes from northwest to southeast across the area. Highs as low as the mid to upper 40s in the northwest, and as high as the low 60s in the southeast. Temperatures will drop rapidly in the late morning and afternoon behind the front. Widespread rain through the day today. Rain could be heavy at times, with some spots seeing 1 1/2″ or more. Rain may transition to a light wintry mix this evening before exiting our area. While impacts cannot be ruled out entirely, we would expect them to be isolated and fairly minor. Temperatures drop into the 20s overnight as rain/mix ends.

THU/FRI: Mostly sunny and chilly through the end of the work week, with highs in the upper 40s Thursday and low 40s Friday. Overnight lows in the mid 20s.

WEEKEND: Partly to mostly cloudy Saturday, with highs in the low 50s. An isolated shower isn’t totally out of the question, but most spots should stay dry. There shouldn’t be any issues if you plan on attending the annual WCBI Bridal Showcase at the Trotter Convention Center in Columbus. Overnight lows drop to around the freezing mark. Sunday’s weather looks nice with highs in the upper 50s. Lows in the upper 30s.

MONDAY: Mild and mostly sunny with highs in the upper 60s. Lows in the low to mid 30s.

TUESDAY: Models are indicating the potential for a strong cold front Tuesday keeping highs in the 30s, and perhaps bringing wintry precipitation to the area. At this point, confidence is too low to get specific with any impacts. Considering recent model performance in the medium range, this may change quite a bit before early next week, too. Check back later this week and this weekend for updates.
