FORECAST DISCUSSION:

Good Wednesday morning!

Hazy and foggy conditions will persist throughout Central Ohio at the beginning of Wednesday. Scattered showers remain possible as we progress through the day, but dry weather is expected to make a significant comeback by the end of the month.

Continuous rainfall possibilities will lead to scattered showers developing through the afternoon. As temperatures rise slightly today, there might be occasional thunderstorms forming too. The skies will gradually clear up overnight, though cloud cover is expected to persist into tomorrow.

Temperatures continue to gradually revert to normal levels for this time of year. We will remain around 70 degrees and higher as May comes to an end.

Certainly, rainfall isn't uncommon at the Memorial Tournament. Expect scattered showers on Friday, with less frequent rains starting early Saturday morning. The latter part of the weekend should see clearer skies and drier conditions.

In June, the weather becomes more typical for the season and gradually warms up further. On Sunday, expect abundant sunlight with temperatures ranging from the middle to low 70s. Moving into next week, the temperature is expected to climb significantly over 80 degrees, continuing under clear skies.
