Columbus woke Sunday to clear skies, temperatures near freezing and a Freeze Warning that lasts through the morning. Patchy frost should fade quickly, with sunshine pushing the afternoon high to about 57 degrees before a stretch of mild, dry weather takes over.
Freeze Warning Holds Through Sunday Morning
The warning remains in effect until 10 a.m. Sunday across parts of central Ohio, with temperatures potentially falling as low as 30 degrees. Frost and freezing conditions could damage sensitive plants and unprotected outdoor plumbing, according to the National Weather Service.
Patchy frost is expected before 8 a.m., followed by sunny skies and southwest winds increasing to 15 mph, with gusts up to 25 mph, according to WSYX (ABC 6 On Your Side). The alert is a sharper safety update than Saturday’s forecast, which had already flagged the first serious frost threat of the season in Hoodline’s earlier outlook.
Sunny Stretch Peaks Tuesday
Sunday night should stay mostly clear with a low near 40 degrees, while Monday brings another sunny afternoon near 57 after a chance of early frost. Monday night will dip to around 39, as reported by the National Weather Service, setting up an even warmer Tuesday with sunshine and a high near 63.
Veterans Day on Wednesday looks mostly sunny with a high near 59 and light winds. That gives Columbus several useful windows for outdoor work, errands and fall plans before the forecast turns wetter.
Rain Returns Wednesday Night
A chance of rain arrives after 7 p.m. Wednesday, with precipitation chances rising to about 50% Thursday. Thursday will be mostly cloudy and cooler, with a high near 51 and north winds reaching 14 mph.
Rain could linger Thursday night as temperatures fall to around 34 degrees, followed by a slight chance of an early shower Friday. Friday should turn partly sunny with a high near 46, while Saturday looks mostly sunny and cool near 49.
