Summer pattern, scattered rain, storms through the weekend
Columbus and Central Ohio Weather
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Clouds are increasing, along with a narrow band of showers west of Columbus this morning. As the day goes on, scattered showers and isolated storms will develop ahead of a weak cold front and continue overnight into Saturday morning.
Afternoon temperatures west of the I-71 corridor will be a bit cooler — in the upper 70s — after reaching the upper 80s Thursday, due to cloud cover. Warmer readings in the low 80s will return in the east, with some sunshine.
The slow-moving front will keep showers in the forecast over the weekend, with a slight cooldown resulting from lingering cloudiness. Another system will bring showers and a few rumbles Saturday night into Sunday.
