Residents in Columbus and Cincinnati should be ready to whip out their umbrellas and raincoats as the weather is set to take a turn this weekend. The National Weather Service has issued a forecast predicting the arrival of a
low-pressure system, which is expected to bring rain showers and slightly warmer temperatures after a pleasant Saturday. According to the
National Weather Service’s area forecast
, the system will kick into gear late Saturday night and continue
through the end of the weekend.
While high pressure has kept skies clear for the start of the weekend, with temperatures hovering in the upper 50s and low 60s, this serene weather will yield a 500H closed low moving eastward from the Plains, which will result in accumulating high clouds by the afternoon which will bring rain showers late night, and decidedly more blustery conditions; winds are expected to shift to the east/southeast, with relative humidity (RH) values dipping into the low 30s east of I-75 in the dry air in advance of the warm front.
According to the
National Weather Service
forecast, Sunday’s weather may dampen outdoor plans as the forecast includes “a brief warm sector, then a cold front” moving through, translating to a wet end to the weekend. Rainfall amounts are expected to be substantial, with totals reaching between 0.7 to 1.0 inches, potentially higher in some areas, providing much-needed moisture to the region. However, it won’t be enough to resolve the several-inch deficit. As temperatures reach the mid-60s, the added rain and wind, gusting up to 30 MPH, could make outdoor activities unpleasant.
In aviation concerns, the weekend’s weather will likely cause some disruptions. As high-level clouds gather and rain sets, visibility might reduce, with ceiling heights dropping to Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) conditions across western terminals close to the end of the projection period. Pilots should be aware of the potential need to alter plans as “southerly flow 10-12 knots during early morning hours with higher gusts after sunrise” could impact flights, according to the
National Weather Service
, even though the forecast doesn’t currently show a firm indication of widespread low-level wind shear (LLWS). However, it could still emerge as a factor for aviators to monitor. Conditions will likely improve by Monday morning as the weather system passes through.
