Today starts the next warm up for the entire region. As skies become partly cloudy, highs will reach the upper 60s. Winds will start to pick up a little more this Monday to start the work week. In general no weather related issue are expected to kick off the last work week of October.
Tonight will bring much more mild temperatures across Central Ohio. Lows will only fall into the mid 50. Skies are expected to become mostly cloudy as the night progresses. By the morning a few spotty sprinkles will be possible, mainly in the most northern counties.
Gusty winds begin to pick up tomorrow at times reaching 30+ mph. The draw of warmer southern air into the region will push our temperatures to near record highs. The current record high for Oct 29th is 80 degrees which was set back in 1922. Columbus is forecast to reach 79.
The near record heat continues into Wednesday along with the gusty winds. Highs will be 80 degrees. All of this heat comes ahead of a cold front that is moving towards Central Ohio. The front will arrive Thursday evening bringing rain chances during trick-or-treat times.
