Fall officially arrived Sunday morning at 8:44 a.m. (autumnal equinox), but summer stuck around for one more day.
Temperatures reached the low 90s for the third straight day, 15 degrees above normal. Clouds increased ahead low pressure and a cold front moving in from the west that triggered late-afternoon showers and storms, with the strongest activity this evening south of Circleville.
Showers will shift east overnight, although some additional pockets of rain will develop later tonight and slide across the area in the morning.
The front will cross Ohio Monday morning and stall near the Ohio River, with the first wave of moisture shifting east nd creating a lull in the showers, with skies remaining mostly cloudy. Temperatures will be 10 degrees cooler, near 80 degrees, as winds turn northwesterly behind the cold front.
An upper-level disturbance in the southern Plains will lift northeastward to the Ohio Valley Tuesday, bringing widespread showers and a possible storm. A cold front will follow early Wednesday, bringing an end to the rain and ushering in seasonable, drier conditions for the remainder of the week.
