Columbus is waking up under cloudy skies Saturday, with temperatures in the mid-40s and a cooler feel settling in behind the week’s earlier warmth. The city should stay dry, but the gray skies and northwest breeze will make this feel more like November than the mild stretch that came before it.
Clouds And Northwest Winds Hold Saturday
Saturday’s forecast calls for mostly cloudy skies and a high near 53 degrees, with northwest winds running 10 to 15 mph. According to the latest National Weather Service outlook, rain chances are near zero, so outdoor plans should mainly require a warm layer rather than an umbrella.
Frost Threat Arrives Before Sunday Sunshine
Saturday night skies will clear after sunset, with temperatures dropping into the upper 20s to low 30s and patchy frost possible after 4 a.m. Sunday. Sunshine returns by morning, bringing a high near 57, while southwest winds could gust as high as 24 mph during the afternoon.
The Warmup Peaks Tuesday
The early-week forecast takes a more pleasant turn, with sunny skies and highs near 60 on Monday. Tuesday looks like the warmest day of the stretch, reaching about 66 degrees under sunny skies.
Veterans Day on Wednesday should remain mostly sunny, with a high near 60 and dry weather. That gives Columbus several dry days for errands, outdoor work and late-fall plans before the next weather wrinkle arrives.
Rain Chances Return Late Wednesday
A chance of rain develops Wednesday night and continues into Thursday, when the high is expected to be near 52 degrees. Friday looks cooler, with a high around 47.
