The National Weather Service has issued a hazardous weather outlook for several Ohio counties, including central Ohio, as storms are expected to move through the region between 8 p.m. and 4 a.m., starting just north of Interstate 70 and moving southbound toward the Ohio River. Most of the seven-county region around Franklin County is in the "slight risk" category for severe weather. The weather service expects severe storms to decrease overnight, but temperatures will continue to rise, with temperatures expected to reach the high 70s on March 26. Meanwhile, temperatures in central Ohio will begin to rise again, reaching a new monthly record set on March 22 before temperatures fell on March 23. The rest of the week is expected to remain largely sunny, with a high near 76.
