Columbus is starting today on the sticky side, with low clouds, patchy fog, and that classic walking through a wet blanket humidity. John Glenn Columbus International (KCMH) is sitting around 68°F early, and conditions are muggy. Skies are expected to turn partly sunny by late morning, which will help temperatures climb into the upper 80s, with an afternoon high near 87°F. Winds stay light out of the west, and tonight brings lows in the upper 60s.
Monday Storms And Nighttime Downpours
Heat makes a stronger comeback tomorrow as temperatures push toward 90°F, and a few afternoon storms could pop up ahead of a more organized round later on. The National Weather Service expects storm coverage to ramp up tomorrow night, with showers and thunderstorms likely after 8 p.m. Some clusters could pack damaging wind and drop about a half-inch to three-quarters of an inch of rain in a short burst.
Forecasters still have some uncertainty on the exact timing and track, so tomorrow evening commutes and outdoor plans are in the keep one eye on the sky category. Sudden heavy downpours or gusty winds could move through with little lead time, so make sure phones and weather radios are set to receive alerts.
