Refreshing Change in Weather Set to Hit Columbia with Cooler Fall Temperatures

COLUMBIA, S.C. – A Refreshing Change in Weather is On Its Way!

Good day, Columbia! If you’ve been feeling a bit too warm and sticky for your liking, you’re in for a treat. A cold front is sweeping through the Midlands tonight, bringing a refreshing change that many will welcome. Say goodbye to the sweltering heat, and hello to cool, dry fall-like weather for the coming days!

What to Expect Tonight

As we head into the evening, keep your eyes on the skies for a chance of a few stray showers. While these won’t put on a spectacular show, they’ll certainly remind us that the seasons are shifting. Overnight, temperatures are expected to dip into the comfortable range of the mid-60s, so it might be a good idea to grab a light jacket if you plan on heading out.

Sunday’s Sunshine

Wake up, Columbia! Sunday is shaping up to be a lovely day. Although you might see some lingering clouds in the morning, those should clear out as the afternoon approaches, revealing more sunshine. With highs in the upper 70s, it’ll be a pleasantly cool day to enjoy a stroll in the park or have a lovely brunch outdoors.

Cooler Days Ahead

The refreshing coolness doesn’t stop there. The new area of high pressure moving in from the north will ensure that we feel comfortable throughout the beginning of the work week. Expect bright sunny skies with temperatures reaching into the low to mid-80s. The dry air will not only keep us feeling comfy, but it means we can say goodbye to that muggy summertime feeling.

A Peek into the Week

As we move into the week, here’s a sneak peek at the forecast:

• Monday: Mostly sunny skies with highs in the low to mid-80s. Perfect weather for lunch outside!
• Tuesday: A few clouds might drift in, but nothing to dampen your spirits. Expect highs around the middle 80s.
• Wednesday: More clouds begin to make an appearance. During the day, temperatures will be in the lower 80s.
• Thursday: Cloudy skies will rule the day with a potential for a few showers later on.
• Friday: A bit of a wet end to the week with a 40% chance of scattered showers. Highs are expected to be in the lower 80s.

What’s Coming from the Gulf?

Heads up, Columbia! By the end of the week, weather watchers will be focused on a weak tropical system developing over the western Gulf of Mexico. This system is likely to bring in some tropical moisture, which may cause scattered showers late Thursday into Friday. So, while you’re planning your activities, don’t forget to keep an umbrella handy just in case!

Conclusion

As we welcome this cold front, it’s always nice to see the changes in weather that accompany autumn. The coming days will be a great opportunity to enjoy the outdoors without feeling overheated.
