Columbus is waking to clear skies and temperatures in the mid-60s this morning, with a sunny afternoon ahead. The high should reach about 84 degrees, and no rain is expected as the city heads into the weekend.
Saturday Starts Sunny And Quiet
Temperatures will climb quickly through the morning, reaching the 70s by late morning and the low 80s during the afternoon. Winds should remain light, shifting from the northeast early to the southeast, while tonight turns partly cloudy with a low near 65. The National Weather Service in Wilmington expects dry conditions to continue.
90-Degree Heat Builds Next Week
The warmup will be hard to miss after the weekend, with highs near 89 on Sunday and 91 on Monday. Tuesday could reach 94 degrees, followed by a possible 95-degree high Wednesday. Rising humidity may push afternoon heat indexes close to 100 degrees by Wednesday, making early mornings the better window for strenuous outdoor plans.
Thunderstorm Chances Return Wednesday Night
Rain chances remain minimal through Tuesday, but the forecast becomes less settled Wednesday night, when showers and thunderstorms could develop. Thursday carries a 40% chance of precipitation during the day and again Thursday night, while Friday brings a lower chance of storms before 2 p.m. For now, Columbus has a sunny Saturday and several days of increasingly serious summer heat on deck.
