Discussion:

High pressure will keep us dry today with partly to mostly sunny skies and hot temperatures. Highs will top out in the low to mid 90s for most of us. Because this type of weather helps to increase ozone formation, an Air Quality Alert is in effect again today. Ground-level ozone levels are expected to be high enough to be considered unhealthy for sensitive groups of people, including people with heart disease, respiratory disease (such as asthma), active children, active adults, and seniors.

Scattered storms will be possible Saturday afternoon and evening with highs in the upper 80s. Sunday will bring occasional showers and storms as a cold front works across the region. Cooler and drier air will return to central Ohio behind the front. Expect sunshine and highs in the low 80s to start the work week.

Alerts:   Air Quality Alert
           
Inconvenient Weather: It will be hot and more humid with highs in the low to mid 90s.
 
Planning Your Day:  Look for decreasing clouds this morning and mostly sunny skies in the afternoon with highs in the mid 90s.

Stats:  Averages: 84/65 
            Record High: 100 (1955)  
            Record Low: 45 (1965)
            Sunrise: 6:32 a.m. 
            Sunset: 8:42 p.m.
