Forecast Discussion

The past couple of days there has been a high pressure system over Southeastern Ohio creating moderate conditions. This high pressure system will continue to be in effect throughout today and into tonight. Tomorrow morning the high pressure system will be replaced by a train of two stationary fronts. These stationary fronts are going to bring chances of rain for Thursday night and rain showers all day Friday. Athens will also be effected by the ending stages of a mid-latitude cyclone that will be moving through the Plains and up through Southern Ohio creating favorable conditions for precipitation. These systems will move out of the area relatively quickly leaving calm but cloudy conditions for Saturday. Looking ahead into early next week, another low pressure system will move in Sunday resulting in chances of thunderstorms for Sunday and Monday and consistent rain showers the majority of the week.
