Mild and misty weather continues into early Monday. The morning commute should be relatively dry with a few patches of drizzle or a shower or two around the area. Temperatures will start to rise behind a warm front overnight, reaching the low-50s after sunrise. By late morning, steady rain will move into Central Ohio. Some showers could be heavy at times, but most rain will be light. Afternoon temperatures will rise into the mid to upper-50s along with a strong SSW wind with gusts up to 25 mph. A cold front will push through during the evening bringing an end to the steady rain. Temps will drop into the 30s overnight into Tuesday morning. Current forecast models show the timing of the rain will be from 10a-6p, with 0.50"-1.00" possible. Areas south of I-70 are more likely to see 0.75-1.00", whereas areas to the north will be closer to 0.50". Our only chance of sunshine this week will come tomorrow (Tuesday), as we catch a break between storm systems. Rain returns Wednesday, with showers in the afternoon. Temps will stay in the mid-40s, but an even stronger cold front will push through after sunset. This will drop temperatures into the 30s. By the time the cold air arrives, most of the moisture will be out of the area, therefore, we don't expect a rain/snow mix in the area. Winter will hold on through the end of the week and into the weekend. Starting Thursday through early next week, highs will top out in the low to mid-30s. A few flurries are possible each day with passing clouds and some sun. No major accumulations are expected, but an occasional snow shower cannot be ruled out during this cold stretch. Heading into the big Buckeye playoff game next Saturday, which also coincides with the winter solstice, temperatures will be cold. Some sun may peek through the clouds during the afternoon, bringing tailgaters a high temperature in the low-30s. By game time, temps will be in the upper-20s. A flurry or two cannot be ruled out, but the game should be quiet, but cold! -- Meteorologist Dylan Robichaud
