Columbus Weather: Showers expected through Tuesday

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) — High pressure will keep us dry for the next few hours. Some areas are currently under an AIR QUALITY ALERT until Midnight. Rain and isolated thunderstorms will continue through the overnight hours.

• TONIGHT: Showers and iso. T-storms, muggy, low 65.

We will be waking up to rain throughout Central Ohio. By noon, most of this system should be north of I-70 and even out of Columbus. Some lingering showers could fall through the afternoon; however, they will be hit or miss and not widespread at that point. Highs will be just shy of normal in the mid to upper 70s.

Another front will pass over Monday bringing more rain and thunderstorms to the area. The thunderstorms will be more scattered and some could be strong. This system will drop temperatures a couple degrees into the mid 70s.

High pressure will move in midweek. Sunshine and above average highs will make an appearance. It looks to be short lived as there is growing confidence we will get more rain by the end of the week.
