…THE WEATHER IS DELIGHTFULLY BORING…
[5/31/2026 7:00 AM]

We are finding ourselves on the good side of the “Omega Block” this time around. Strong high pressure is trapped blissfully over the Great Lakes as low pressure centers churn to our southwest over the Plains and southeast over the Atlantic. Usually when we notice the omega block we are on the wet and active side of it. So let’s enjoy it while it lasts!

Today through Wednesday we will see fair skies and highs in the mid 70s. We will warm into the 80s by the end of the week as the blocked pattern begins to break. Rain will be in the forecast starting Friday night setting us up for a much different kind of weekend, just in time for the final rounds of the Memorial Tournament! Perhaps Chief Leatherlips will make a comeback.

Stay safe out there and stay outside! This is our chance to catch up on vitamin D.

…NEW SUNNY SERIES ALERT ☀️…
[5.30.26 8:30 AM]

With Central Ohio settling into a stretch of calmer weather, I figured we could all use a little sunshine and a few laughs! For the rest of the summer, I'll be sharing a weather joke each weekend along with your forecast.

Don't worry, I'll still keep you updated on any important weather, but while Mother Nature is taking a break, we're going to have a little fun with it!

Feel free to drop your favorite weather jokes in the comments!

…IT’S A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD…
[5.30.26 8:00 AM]

Good morning, Central Ohio! ☀️

After what feels like weeks of clouds, rain, and temperature swings, we're finally settling into a stretch of beautiful weather. An extended period of dry conditions is expected through most of the upcoming week, with our next meaningful chance of rain holding off until Friday.

Expect plenty of sunshine today with highs reaching the mid-70s.

Sunday we will see more sunshine and slightly warmer with highs in the mid to upper 70s. Another gorgeous day to get outside and open those windows!

Mostly sunny skies for Monday continue with highs around 77 degrees.

Enjoy the sunshine, friends! But don’t forget that sunscreen 😉.
