River valley fog is possible Saturday morning, with a sunny afternoon expected to reach about 71. The weekend stays dry and comfortably cool, offering a brief break from the more unsettled weather that returns late next week.

Sunny Saturday With a Northerly Breeze

Saturday will stay sunny across the Columbus area, with north winds increasing from about 5 to 10 mph through the afternoon.

Saturday night should be mostly clear, with temperatures dipping to around 51. Sunday will remain dry and seasonably cool.

Rain Chances Return Late Next Week

A better chance of rain showers arrives Thursday as the high reaches about 75.

Showers could linger into Friday, when the forecast calls for a 50% chance of rain and a high near 73. No watches, warnings or advisories are currently posted for the Columbus area.

What Friday’s 50% Rain Chance Means

According to the National Weather Service Louisville office, a precipitation probability applies to a specific forecast point, not automatically to a broader area. Friday’s 50% chance does not mean rain is certain or that showers will cover all of Columbus.
