    Weather-wise, high pressure will slide off to the east, providing sunshine and a light southeast breeze that will begin a warming trend. Afternoon temperatures will climb back into the mid- to upper 80s, with some high clouds. This means it's a great weekend to get out and enjoy outdoor activities in central Ohio[1][4].
