Cloudy, sticky weekend, occasional rain and rumbles

Columbus and Central Ohio Weather

A flow of moist air will keep skies cloudy, with occasional showers and scattered thunderstorms.

A warm front will lift north through the state tonight, leaving areas of patchy fog after midnight.

An area of low pressure moving through the lower Great Lakes on Sunday will drag a trailing cold front across the state, triggering another round of scattered showers and a few storms through the afternoon, before shifting east of the region. Readings will top out in the upper 70s.

The front will sag south to the Ohio River and stall early in the week, while acting as focus for additional showers and storms.

High pressure to the north will bring a little sunshine early in the week, but showers and storms will redevelop beginning on Tuesday, as a series of disturbances rotates in from the southwest.

A stronger system will move through the region on Wednesday, bringing potentially heavier showers and storms, with chances for rain lingering through Friday.
