Columbus Weather Forecast: Sunny Days Followed By Rainy Weekend

Residents can expect fluctuations from mild warmth to rain and cooler temperatures throughout the week.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) — Good Tuesday morning! The weather today looks promising for Columbus, with mostly sunny skies welcoming the day. The temperatures dipped this morning to the mid 30s, but residents can anticipate warm weather, pushing the highs up to around 70 degrees Fahrenheit this afternoon. The brisk wind out of the south, at 10-15 mph, should make for a comfortable day.

Tonight, temperatures will drop to around 50 degrees under partly cloudy skies. According to WSYX, "Sunny skies and southerly winds will push the thermometer to the upper 60s and lower 70s across the region on Tuesday, March 18, 2025." It's expected to be clear this evening, giving way to the changes coming tomorrow.

Turning to Wednesday, March 19, 2025, the forecast shows partly cloudy skies, and temperatures are expected to reach highs of 73 degrees Fahrenheit, with winds continuing to blow out of the south at 10-20 mph. Rain will return overnight, leading to possible showers Thursday morning.

The rain returns Wednesday night, which sets the stage for Thursday, March 20, 2025. It's going to be quite different from today's delightful weather. Thursday will witness early morning rain showers, and as the day progresses, temperatures are likely to stick around the 40s, dipping down toward the 30s as the afternoon settles over the city.

Moving forward, forecasts reflect falling temperatures throughout Thursday with the possibility of rain and mixed precipitation. Joe, another local weather forecaster, commented, "Temperatures will steadily fall through Thursday, March 20, 2025, giving us the chance to see a few mixed showers for the second half of the day on the backside of this system." Expect a significant change as the warm weather bids farewell for the moment.

Friday, March 21, 2025, presents moderate weather again with mostly sunny skies, but much cooler than earlier this week, with highs predicted around the mid 50s. It's still quite pleasant and should bring some relief after the rain.

Looking ahead to Saturday, March 22, 2025, light rain showers are anticipated, followed by another slight improvement on Sunday, March 23, 2025, where mostly cloudy conditions are expected, accompanied by mid-50s temperatures once again. Overall, it seems like there's going to be another round of light scattered showers popping up, particularly from Sunday night extending over to Monday morning, March 24, 2025.

For the residents of Columbus, it's significant to stay informed about the rapidly changing weather, especially as we move toward the end of March. While it starts on such a bright note, citizens should prepare for the wetter and chillier days to follow. Each forecast update reflects not only fluctuated temperatures but the unpredictability of spring weather patterns.
