FORECAST DISCUSSION:
High pressure drifting north into the Ohio Valley will allow for a mostly sunny day in Central Ohio. Even with a fair amount of decorative clouds the afternoon highs will be in the mid-80s.

Warmer and more humid air will start to return tonight. Morning lows will be in the mid to upper-60s. With surface high pressure in control there will only be a risk of pop-ups tomorrow and only a slightly better chance Sunday. The better chances will be north. Highs will be within a few degrees either side of 90. Heat indices Sunday will be as high as 95-100
