Columbus and Central Ohio Weather

FREEZE WARNING UNTIL 9 A.M.

The National Weather Service has issued a freeze warning for central Ohio through early Monday, as temperatures dip to near or slightly below freezing. Cover or bring inside any tender vegetation.

High pressure settled across the Ohio Valley, with clearing skies and light winds setting up a frosty early morning, when readings will dip into the lower 30s, and some upper 20s in the colder valleys.

The cool pattern will continue on Monday, as high pressure shifts east to the Atlantic Coast, providing plenty of sunshine. Clouds will increase overnight, keeping readings in the 40s early Tuesday.

A northern system sweeping across the Great Lakes will bring showers and breezy conditions later on Tuesday, tapering off with the passage of a cold front early Wednesday, which will reinforce the chilly late April weather pattern.

The weather will be quite breezy and cool on Wednesday, and frost is likely again Thursday morning, as high pressure builds down from Canada providing mostly clear skies.

Clouds increase later on Friday with a storm coming out of the west that will bring on and off weekend showers but warmer weather, with highs in the mid-70s.
