Columbus, prepare yourselves for a stormy few days! Even if it’s cold today, the wind will only become stronger, and the temperature will drop during the weekend. With gusts of up to 40 mph, a wind advisory is in force today. Therefore, take it carefully on the roadways and make sure to hold onto your hats and anything else that could be blown away.
What to anticipate:
Thursday, February 28: It feels much colder than it is because of the increased wind today. This afternoon, there is a chance of showers or a thunderstorm, although there will also be spells of sun and clouds. The wind and any rain that falls will make it feel colder, even though the temperature will peak at about 52°F (11°C).
Friday, March 1:Throughout the day, anticipate more blustery winds as clouds give way to sunny spells. The temperature will remain cold, with nighttime lows of 35°F (2°C) and highs of just 52°F (11°C).
Saturday, March 2: Saturday will be a cold one, with temperatures only reaching the low 30s. It’ll be breezy, and there could even be a few flurries in the air. If you’re heading out to an outdoor event, like the hockey game, be sure to bundle up!
Sunday, March 3: The wind continues, and it’ll remain cold with plenty of sunshine. Highs will only make it to 36°F (2°C), so it’s going to be a chilly day to be outside.
Monday, March 4:It will be a little more tolerable on Monday thanks to some clouds and sunshine. The temperature will be slightly warmer, with highs of 43°F (6°C) and lows of about 37°F (3°C).
Tuesday, March 5: Temperatures will start to warm up again, reaching highs around 56°F (13°C), though it’ll be breezy and could bring a bit of rain.
Why This Matters?
The big concern today is the wind. Gusts up to 40 mph can make travel a bit tricky, especially for those driving high-profile vehicles. Secure your outdoor items, and be cautious when out and about. The weekend looks cold and breezy, so make sure to dress warmly. But on the bright side, the weather starts to warm up again by Tuesday, so there’s a little relief on the way!
Columbus, stay safe in the wind and make sure to layer up for those chilly nights ahead!
