Low clouds may linger through the morning, and a little light rain is possible, especially east of I-75. The National Weather Service expects cloud cover to improve later Thursday, with east winds near 9 mph and a return to VFR conditions.

Dry Weekend Ahead

Thursday night will turn clear and noticeably cooler, with temperatures falling to around 47 degrees. The weekend is expected to be dry and seasonably cool, continuing the dry-weekend pattern outlined in an earlier Hoodline forecast.

Temperatures are expected to start warming next week.

Low stratus and possible low ceilings may linger Thursday morning, with conditions improving as the clouds lift. No watches, warnings or advisories are listed for the Columbus area, and the forecast favors several days of dry weather for outdoor plans.
