Summerlike warmth and humidity are in place for another day, as temperatures climb into the low 80s. Skies will be mostly cloudy ahead of a slow-moving cold front that will trigger scattered showers and isolated storms later in the day.

The Storm Prediction Center has placed much of Ohio in a Marginal risk of damaging winds with a stronger storm Thursday and Friday.

The frontal boundary will stall as it moves into Ohio, with a couple of weak waves bringing several rounds of showers and a few storms through Friday night. A few cells could be on the strong side in the southern part of the state, with brief downpours.

Behind the front, skies will turn partly sunny Saturday, with temperatures slipping back into the seasonable upper 70s. Another round of showers will return early Sunday with a disturbance crossing the Ohio Valley.

More showers and scattered storms are likely later on Monday afternoon through early Tuesday, as a system drops southeast from the Canadian plains. Skies will finally clear up by the middle of next week, as high pressure builds into the region.
