Frost advisory: Breezy, cool weekend, lots of sunshine

Columbus and Central Ohio Weather

High pressure will edge southeastward from the northern Plains across the Ohio Valley through the weekend, resulting in a northwesterly flow of cool, dry air. Afternoon temperatures will only reach the mid-50s despite a good deal of sunshine and a few clouds.

Morning readings will dip into the mid-30s early Sunday and Monday, with patchy frost possible.

The pleasant weather will continue on Monday, as high pressure shifts east to the Atlantic Coast. A northern system sweeping across the Great Lakes midweek will bring the next chance for showers later Tuesday that will taper off early Wednesday, accompanied by a reinforcing push of cool air.

Expect windy and mild weather on Tuesday ahead of a strong cold front, followed by blustery and chilly weather the rest of the week, with afternoon readings in the 50s. Light frost is possible again on Thursday morning.

Seasonable temperatures return on Friday, along with an increase in clouds. A storm coming out of the west will bring showers to start next weekend.
