Warm Weather on the Horizon for Columbia, South Carolina
Hey there, Columbia! If you’ve been enjoying the lovely fall weather, you’re in for a treat over the next few days as our temperatures are set to warm up nicely. After a beautiful start to the weekend with those crisp blue skies and highs reaching the upper 70s, it’s promising to get even brighter and warmer.
What to Expect This Weekend
As we head into Sunday, expect a smooth continuation of warmer weather. With high pressure moving off to the east into the Atlantic, our winds will shift back to the southwest. This is perfect because it means we’ll be getting a nice influx of warmer air. Get ready for highs hovering around the low to mid 80s!
If you were planning on heading out to the South Carolina State Fair tomorrow, it seems fortune is smiling upon you! The weather is expected to be sunny and pleasant with low humidity levels — perfect for enjoying those fair rides, indulging in fried treats, and making lasting memories with friends and family.
Looking Ahead to Monday
Monday will continue this warm trend, so don’t pack away those summer clothes just yet! Highs will again be in the low to mid 80s, with mostly sunny skies making it feel all the more comfortable. It’s a great time to get outside, take a walk, or just soak up some of that lovely autumn sun.
A Sudden Cool Down
But brace yourselves, because come late Monday into Tuesday, a strong cold front is coming our way, and it’s bringing with it some decidedly cooler air. We’re looking at a significant drop in temperatures as we transition from the warmth back into the cooler embrace of fall. Highs for Tuesday could struggle to reach near 70 degrees. So, if you’re stepping out in the morning, a light jacket might just be your best friend!
For the rest of the week, we’re predicting cool, crisp mornings, with temperatures dipping into the lower 40s. And for those of you who live in the more rural parts of the Midlands, don’t be surprised if you see some upper 30s! During the day, highs will mostly stay in the 60s, making it the perfect weather to bundle up in your cozy sweaters and enjoy some hot cocoa.
What About Rain?
Now, let’s talk about the dryness we’ve been experiencing lately. It’s been a whopping 15 days since our last rainfall, and it looks like we may continue to see this dry pattern. With no rain in the forecast over the next ten days, we might just find ourselves experiencing a completely dry October. Stay ahead of it by keeping an eye on the weather updates!
In Summary
So to wrap up, Columbia, enjoy the gorgeous and warm weather this Sunday and Monday! But keep your jackets handy as the cool air sweeps in on Tuesday and lingers for the rest of the week. Whether you’re enjoying time at the fair or just kicking back outside, make the most of these beautiful days ahead. Happy fall, everyone!
