Ohio is settling into a calm, dry stretch of fall weather, with sunshine and seasonable temperatures expected to carry the state through the coming week.
Highs today will reach the upper 60s and low 70s under mostly sunny skies — around 70 in Columbus with a morning low near 40. Tuesday looks similar before a midweek warm-up pushes highs back toward 80 on Wednesday, with Thursday close behind in the upper 70s.
Overnight lows will dip into the 40s most nights, giving the mornings a crisp autumn feel. Rain chances stay slim all week, hovering around 10 percent, and the National Weather Service shows dry conditions persisting across the state through at least Sunday.
The quiet pattern is welcome news for harvest season and anyone with outdoor plans, though the extended dry spell keeps fire danger in mind across Ohio's fields and woodlands.
Expect a gradual cool-down heading into the weekend, with highs settling back into the low to mid 70s.
