Warm Week Ahead & Staying Dry!

We’ve got a great looking Sunday on tap with lots of sunshine and highs a little above average in the upper 70s, close to 80°. Overnight lows tonight will again be down in the 40s.

A warmer week ahead as Monday and Tuesday we highs in the low 80s, then Wednesday and Thursday and get up in the mid 80s. Overnight lows each night will be in the low to mid 50s.

Thursday, we’ll have a front come through, but with no moisture to work with, the only thing it will do is knock our temperatures down a few degrees, back into the low 80s heading into next weekend.

Bottom line is, no rain is in sight and a warmer week is ahead, with only some small relief on Thursday with that front helping to cool us off slightly toward the end of the week. Columbus has only seen .11 inches of rain for the month, so even though October is the driest month of the year for us, we’re still way below average for the month, and it will probably end that way.

In the tropics, Nadine made landfall in Central America yesterday and will continue moving westward away from the lower 48. Meanwhile Hurricane Oscar, with sustained winds of 80 mph, will be moving southwestward and eventually making landfall over eastern Cuba, before turning back toward the northeast, between the Bahama and the Turks and Caicos by Tuesday and Wednesday.
