Forecast Discussion

Lots of high pressure to begin our week with a steady warming trend bringing up Monday and Tuesday’s highs into the low 70s! Winds majorly stem from the southwest and continue doing so until a cold front on Thursday switches them to coming from the northwest. Very sunny skies are ahead until some clouds roll in on Tuesday before some potential for severe weather on Wednesday. At the moment, the National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center has Athens, OH in the region of a 15% chance for this severe weather. More information and insight will be available the closer we get to the date.

When we move into Thursday, expect a cold snap to drop temperatures down into the mid-to-low 40s during the day before having their chance to climb again on Friday.
