Beautiful spring day, more like June, storms return Friday
Columbus and Central Ohio Weather
High pressure will slide off to the southeast and winds will turn southerly, raising temperatures into the low to mid-80s, with a good deal of sunshine.
A frontal boundary will drift south this evening, triggering isolated showers across the northern part of the state.
A return flow of moisture in a southerly flow will bring more humidity on Friday, along with increasing cloudiness. There will be more showers and a few storms, as a wave of low pressure moves toward the Great Lakes.
A trailing cold front will keep showers and a few storms in the forecast to start the weekend, with a slight cooldown, as highs fall back into the 70s. Another system will bring a cold front into the region Saturday night and Sunday, raising the chance for additional showers.
That front will likely hang around early next week, keeping rain in the forecast at times in a humid pattern.
