Columbus is forecast to have a sunny, dry Friday, with temperatures rising from a feels-like 50 degrees to a high near 69. North winds are expected to ease to about 6 mph. Clouds increase Friday night as temperatures fall to around 45.
Halloween stays mild; Sunday rain risk shifts later
Saturday is expected to be partly sunny and dry, with a high near 66. Halloween evening should be cloudy and mild, with a low around 53 and a 30% chance of rain. Sunday’s forecast calls for mostly cloudy skies and a high near 70, with a 20% rain chance after 2 p.m. and a higher 40% chance Sunday night.
That Sunday timing is less focused on daytime rain than the earlier Hoodline forecast, which had described a wetter Sunday setup. The current outlook instead places the greater chance overnight; the percentages describe the chance of precipitation, not its duration or amount. The National Weather Service’s Louisville office defines a 30% probability as a chance that at least 0.01 inch will fall at a forecast point during the stated period.
Rain chances continue into next week
The forecast keeps rain chances in view after the weekend: Monday is expected to be mostly cloudy near 68, Tuesday could reach 74 before a chance of rain Tuesday night, and Wednesday has a 50% chance of rain with a high near 72. Rain chances remain in the forecast Thursday. The outlook therefore favors dry plans Friday and Saturday, while the exact timing and amount of any later rain remain uncertain.
