Spring heat wave headed to Ohio soon. Here’s when and how hot it could get
It’s time to crank up the AC if you haven’t already because some serious scorching days are ahead.
According to AccuWeather experts, a surge of heat will blast through the Ohio Valley, making temperatures much warmer than normal for this time of year.
So, how hot will it get in Ohio this weekend? Here’s what to know:
“High temperatures are forecast to soar as much as 20-30 degrees above the historical average for mid-April. Temperatures in the 80s and 90s are more of an early summer feel, more common high temperatures for late May or June,” said AccuWeather senior meteorologist Matt Benz.
Currently, the highs will be in the upper 70s on Friday and Saturday, with feel-like temperatures around 80 degrees.
The National Weather Service has been tracking drought and fire risks associated with the spring heat wave across the country, but both are low in Ohio. In fact, rain is expected to fall Saturday night, bringing much cooler weather on Sunday. On Sunday, highs will only reach around 49 and lows will dip down to 32.
