Columbus is waking up to clear skies, chilly temperatures and a final frosty reminder that fall has arrived. A Frost Advisory remains in effect until 9 a.m. Monday, with temperatures near 38 degrees and sensitive outdoor plants at risk.
How This Frost Compares With Columbus Norms
For broader context, NWS Wilmington’s 1991–2020 climatology lists Oct. 27 as Columbus’s normal date for its first 32°F freeze, a different measure from this frost advisory.
Sunny Monday Warms Quickly
Frost may linger through the early morning before skies turn sunny and temperatures climb steadily. Monday’s high is expected to reach 67 degrees, with light east winds around 2 mph and no rain in the forecast.
Dry, Mild Weather Holds Through The Weekend
The pleasant pattern continues Tuesday through Sunday, with sunny or mostly sunny skies and afternoon highs ranging from 66 to 69 degrees. Overnight lows will stay cooler, generally in the low to mid-40s, but precipitation chances remain at zero through the week.
Tuesday and Wednesday mornings could still feel crisp, especially in colder low-lying spots, while Thursday through Sunday bring comfortable afternoons for outdoor plans. Friday is expected to be the coolest afternoon of the stretch at about 66 degrees, followed by a weekend rebound toward the upper 60s.
