Good morning, Powell. Labor Day weekend is serving up weather that feels custom-ordered for Central Ohio – three straight days of sunshine and temperatures climbing from the low 70s to a perfect 79°F by Monday. This meteorological gift comes courtesy of a high-pressure system that's pushing away clouds and bringing calm winds, creating ideal conditions for whatever end-of-summer celebrations you have planned.
While you're enjoying those blue skies, mark your calendars for some exciting local happenings. The acclaimed dance company SOLE Defined is bringing their hurricane-inspired performance "ZAZ" to the Wexner Center, transforming Hurricane Katrina survivors' stories into an immersive dance experience. Coffee enthusiasts have reason to celebrate too – Fox in the Snow is brewing up its fifth location in Westerville, with doors expected to open in early October for all your artisanal coffee and pastry needs.
