Columbus opened Tuesday with clear skies and a chilly 42 degrees, but the jacket weather will not last all day. Sunshine will push temperatures to near 68 by afternoon, with light winds and no rain in the forecast.
Sunny Tuesday Sets Up A Warm Midweek
According to the National Weather Service, Tuesday night will stay clear and fall to around 44 degrees. Wednesday brings the week's first real warmup, with a sunny high near 78 and southwest winds ranging from 2 to 12 mph.
Dry Stretch Holds Through Saturday
Thursday should reach about 75 degrees under sunny skies, followed by highs near 72 Friday and 76 Saturday. Rain chances remain essentially absent through Saturday, making the middle and latter part of the week the easy bet for outdoor plans.
