Forecast Discussion

For this week, we are finally out of the heat wave this week. The ridge of high pressure over the United States has weakened and is pretty neutral for this week. This will make temperatures not as extremely hot after today, especially since there is a cold front approaching Athens, Ohio tonight. There will be showers and thunderstorms when the cold front too, and it appears there will be heavy rainfall up to almost an inch for tonight and Thursday. Athens, Ohio and neighboring towns are also under a slight risk (15% chance) of flash flooding tomorrow so be on the lookout and be careful when driving through low-lying areas from the rainfall tonight and tomorrow.
