A weak cold front will approach and cross east-central Ohio on Friday. There is little in the way of moisture associated with this system and not much of a prospect of rain locally.

HIGH WIND POTENTIAL OVER THE WEEKEND
Quiet weather will continue through Saturday with high pressure. Temperatures will be cooler behind Friday’s front and afternoon highs will struggle to reach 50° locally.
Rain chances will return Saturday night with a warm front pushing through. This will bring warmer temperatures for Sunday ahead of a strong storm system that will move into the upper Great Lakes region. Low pressure will deepen ad it progresses east across the lakes and extend a cold front through eastern Ohio Sunday evening.

EARLY NEXT WEEK
