Columbus rolled into Sunday under a blanket of clouds, with early temperatures sitting in the mid-40s and a high near 52 expected this afternoon. West winds are set to run a steady 9–15 mph with gusts up to about 25 mph, which will make it feel noticeably cooler if you are out and about. By tonight, temperatures slip again, and patchy frost is possible in low-lying spots by early Monday morning.
Afternoon Winds Pick Up
West winds of 9–15 mph with gusts near 25 mph will turn the afternoon blustery and can toss unsecured patio furniture and lightweight items around the yard. Look for the strongest gusts in open areas and on bridges, and take it easy on exposed stretches of road. That gusty trend was tracked in recent local coverage by Hoodline.
Frost Tonight And Midweek Outlook
Low temperatures are expected to fall into the mid-30s Sunday night, with "areas of frost" possible after 4 a.m. Forecasters have added frost potential for both tonight and Monday night. A reinforcing cold front Monday could push lows to near or below freezing Monday and Tuesday nights, but a quick warmup follows, with highs climbing into the mid-60s Wednesday and into the 70s by Thursday and Friday. Those timing and trend details are laid out in the local forecast and discussion from the National Weather Service.
Plan Ahead
If you care for tender plants, bring potted specimens inside or cover garden beds before sundown, and gardeners should check Monday morning again. Secure loose outdoor items this afternoon, allow extra travel time if you will be driving in gusty conditions, and enable local weather alerts on your phone for any short-notice changes.
