Monday climbs to 78, Tuesday holds at 77, and Wednesday pushes to 79. It is a remarkably clean stretch for central Ohio heading into June.The pattern does shift by late in the week. Thursday reaches 83 degrees as southwest winds pick up, and Friday arrives with a high near 87 alongside a 29 percent daytime chance of showers and thunderstorms — rising to 41 percent Friday night. Not a certainty, but worth monitoring.For today: commutes are clean, the sky is clear, and your only preparation is sunglasses and a plan to be outside.
