Residents in Columbia, SC, should prepare for another stretch of cloudy and chilly weather today. Steady northeast winds will usher in cool air, keeping temperatures in the 40s throughout the day.
While occasional light rain is expected today, tonight, and Saturday, it will be minimal in terms of accumulation. However, the weather will take a more active turn on Sunday as a storm system develops.
Storms to Arrive Sunday
Thunderstorms will begin forming in Texas early Saturday and are forecast to move east across the South, reaching the Midlands late Sunday morning into the afternoon. The storms are expected to bring widespread rain, heavy downpours, and lightning to the region.
There is a low risk of severe weather, though gusty winds of up to 35 mph are likely, even if severe conditions fail to materialize.
Weekend Warm-Up
Despite the rain and storms, temperatures will rise significantly over the weekend. Highs are forecast to reach the mid-60s to low 70s, a marked increase from today’s chill. This unseasonably warm weather is expected to persist through New Year’s Eve before a colder trend sets in for the first week of 2025.
Stay tuned for updates as the storm system approaches, and prepare for potential gusty conditions on Sunday.
