Columbus is waking Thursday to cloudy skies and temperatures near 68 degrees, but the day should brighten quickly. A cold front will move through the area, bringing a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms between 3 and 5 p.m. before skies turn partly cloudy and highs reach about 83.
Dry Weather Takes Over Friday And Saturday
Friday looks sunny and comfortable, with a high near 82 degrees and north winds staying light. Saturday should be sunnier still, reaching about 83 degrees with only a light east breeze and no rain in the forecast.
Next Week Brings The Heat Back
Temperatures climb Sunday under mostly sunny skies, with a high near 87 degrees. Monday and Tuesday could reach 91 degrees, while Tuesday brings a slight chance of afternoon showers after 2 p.m.
Thursday Storm Chance Stays Limited
The National Weather Service says the front should exit the region Thursday, with most organized thunderstorm activity likely east of central Ohio. Spotty post-frontal showers remain possible, but no watches, warnings or advisories are posted for the Columbus forecast area.
Warmth Continues Into September
Wednesday stays partly sunny with a high near 90 and a better chance of showers and thunderstorms. For now, Columbus gets a mostly dry Friday-through-Monday stretch before late-summer heat takes center stage.
