Meteorologist Stephen Puglisi's Friday AM Forecast 8/21/26

We are in for a real treat in the weather department today! Mostly sunny skies will dominate your Friday with highs near 80, which is a great way to start the Allen County Fair this afternoon! The only minor issue with the weather today is that I cannot rule out a very brief popup shower or thunderstorm around dinnertime tonight, but any that do appear shouldn't last too long and then the pleasant weather will return shortly afterwards. A round of thunderstorm activity will move through west-central Ohio tomorrow around lunchtime, but that sets up a beautiful stretch of weather to start next week. Find out what days at the fair will feature the best weather in the forecast!
