After a summer of mostly uninterrupted sunshine and dry conditions, the weather in Columbus turns dark and wet during the first week of fall.

According to the National Weather Service in Wilmington, there is a chance of precipitation every day this week except Thursday and Friday, including some severe storms in the forecast for Tuesday.

Tuesday's storms could form in the afternoon and evening, potentially bringing severe, destructive winds, according to an NWS hazardous weather forecast released Monday morning.

There is a 90% chance of precipitation on Tuesday, with 0.5 to 1 inch of rain expected during the day. Another 4 to 1 inch of rain could fall Tuesday evening, according to NWS Wilmington.

This week's rains may ease Ohio's ongoing historic drought, but it will likely take more than one storm to return the state to normal, The Dispatch previously reported.

Here is the forecast for this week.
