Columbia starts Thursday, October 29, under mostly cloudy skies with temperatures around 60 degrees, but the cloud cover should give way to a mostly sunny afternoon. Highs should reach near 80 degrees with a light northeast breeze and almost no chance of rain. After sunset, skies turn mostly clear with temperatures dropping to around 54.
Warm Thursday And Friday Set The Tone
Friday looks even sunnier, with a high near 82 degrees and light north winds. Friday night should stay partly cloudy with a low around 57. The National Weather Service says high pressure will keep the end of the workweek dry and pleasant across the Columbia area.
Cooler, Cloudier Weekend Ahead
Sunday should remain mostly cloudy with a high around 72, with dry conditions expected. For outdoor plans, the weekend looks largely usable, with dry weather expected Sunday night.
That is a meaningful change from Wednesday's forecast, which had suggested a wetter weekend setup. The newer NWS discussion instead favors a dry weekend, with dry, cool weather likely to persist into early next week.
Dry Weather Continues Into Monday
Dry, cool weather is likely to persist into early next week, including Monday, which should have mostly cloudy skies and a high near 74 degrees. Tuesday should rebound to partly sunny conditions with a high near 78. Forecast uncertainty is high toward the middle of next week. No watches, warnings or advisories are posted for the area.
