Columbus is starting today, with mostly clear skies and temperatures around 64 degrees at John Glenn Columbus International Airport. The city should stay dry and sunny through the afternoon, with a high near 81 and a north wind between 6 and 13 mph.
Sunny, Comfortable Stretch Through Friday
Wednesday night looks mostly clear and cool, with temperatures dipping to around 59 degrees. Thursday will bring more sunshine and a high near 83, while Friday warms to about 86 under mostly sunny skies and light winds.
The National Weather Service says high pressure will keep conditions dry through Friday, giving Columbus a brief break from the more unsettled pattern seen earlier this month.
Storm Chances Return Saturday
The quiet stretch starts to fade Friday night, when clouds increase, and a few showers or thunderstorms become possible. Saturday brings a high near 84 with a 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms, followed by a wetter night with a 70% chance of storms.
Sunday looks similarly unsettled, with showers and thunderstorms likely early, a brief chance during the day, and another likely round later. The high should reach about 83, so anyone making outdoor plans may want a rain-ready backup and extra time for slick roads during downpours.
Warm And Unsettled Early Next Week
Monday will be mostly sunny with a high near 85, but a 30% chance of afternoon and evening showers or thunderstorms remains. Tuesday warms further to around 87, with another chance of storms after 2 p.m.
No weather alerts are posted for the Columbus area at this time, but the weekend forecast is a reminder that a sunny Wednesday does not necessarily mean a quiet weekend.
