The How:
A weak cold front will push west to east across Ohio today, sparking rain showers from the late morning, after 10 a.m., through late evening.
Cold fronts push the warmer, moister air ahead up into the atmosphere. As the air rises it becomes very unstable, eventually producing condensation and rainfall. In the afternoon, instability peaks because of heating from the sun, so between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. rain chances are greatest.
