Columbus is starting Tuesday under a stubborn cloud deck and increased low-level moisture. Temperatures will remain below normal as clouds persist.

Showers are expected to develop and move west across the forecast area, with northeast winds near 10 mph, according to the National Weather Service. Tuesday night will bring showers and elevated overnight temperatures.

More Showers Wednesday

Showers are expected Wednesday, with greater coverage across central Ohio.

A little thunder is possible, but no watches, warnings or advisories are listed for Ohio. Anyone heading out Wednesday should plan for a damp commute and keep an umbrella nearby.

Dryer, Brighter Weather Arrives Thursday

The pattern improves Thursday, when conditions are expected to become dry and the cloud deck will erode. Sunday turns mostly sunny near 72 degrees.

Nights will turn chilly later in the week.
