Columbia, S.C. is gearing up for a weekend of unusually warm weather, with temperatures soaring into the upper 80s to 90s. That’s right—get ready for some really hot days ahead! Residents are feeling the warmth already, and some areas might even experience record high temperatures during this delightful warm spell.
While Saturday will likely feel like summer with a lovely warm afternoon, don’t get too comfortable, because changes are on the way! It’s like Mother Nature has a surprise in store starting late Sunday evening. Here comes a cold front to shake things up! As this cold front makes its way into Columbia, it’s expected to bring a wave of widespread rain and thunderstorms from Sunday night into Monday. So, if you have plans to enjoy the outdoors, it might be a good idea to keep an eye on the sky!
Sunday is set to remain quite warm and breezy throughout the day, making it the perfect time for a picnic or stroll in the park—at least until those clouds start rolling in! As the day progresses, expect those seemingly innocent sunny skies to give way to some cloud cover, and by the evening, showers will begin to make their presence felt.
Ah, but Monday is where things get lively! As the cold front pushes through, the main weather concerns will shift into high gear. There’s a significant amount of moisture lingering in the air, which means we could see periods of heavy rain throughout the day. And let’s not forget about the chance of some thunderstorms! Areas south and west of Columbia could face some strong wind gusts, making things a bit exciting, to say the least.
While the risk for severe weather isn’t particularly high, it’s not completely off the table either. There’s a possibility that a few storms could pack enough of a punch to cause some damage, especially in the afternoon hours on Monday. So, if you’ve got outdoor plans or need to head out for your commute, being prepared for wET roads and reduced visibility is wise. Those heavy rainfalls could certainly lead to delays, so plan accordingly and take your time!
In addition to the rain, you might want to brace yourself for some gusty winds. These breezy conditions might make it feel a bit unsettled on Monday, especially in open areas and near lakes. In fact, there could even be a Lake Wind Advisory issued due to those expected gusty winds. If you’re hitting the water, it’s a good idea to check the conditions first!
So, to wrap it all up—enjoy the warm, sunny Saturday and breezy Sunday while it lasts because changes are definitely coming! Keep your umbrella close as we transition into a rainy Monday complete with storms. Stay tuned to the weather updates and make sure you’re prepared for a busy day ahead! Happy weather watching, Columbia!
