FORECAST DISCUSSION:
Sunshine will stay for Tuesday. Highs will be back int he upper 80s. Skies will be partly cloud as fair weather cumulus move across central Ohio. There will be a slight breeze from the southwest today. Thankfully with the humidity relatively at bay there is not going to be heat index values that will make it feel even warmer.
Tonight skies will open up a bit becoming mostly clear. It will be a very warm night as lows will only fall to the upper 60s. A few central Ohio towns may not even leave the 70s. Winds will be very light. Overall it will be a quiet night.
By Wednesday a system will move through bringing showers and thunderstorms. Late Wednesday night a few rounds of strong storms will kick off with some potentially becoming severe. There is a slight risk for severe weather (level 2/5) with strong winds being the primary risk. Those storms will last through early Thursday morning.
As the storms move through and the cold front passes, cooler temperatures on the back end will not last for long. A rebound back to the 80s will return by the week’s end. Throughout Memorial Day weekend there will be several rounds of spotty showers and thunderstorms.
