South Carolina – A cold front moving through South Carolina tonight brings an increased chance of rain north of the I-26 corridor, providing some relief from the recent unseasonably warm weather. Residents in Columbia and surrounding areas can expect scattered, isolated showers between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m., with rain likelihood reaching around 20% in Columbia and higher northward.
According to the National Weather Service in Columbia, the rain is part of a cooling trend expected to last into early next week. After today’s high of 87°F, tonight’s temperature is predicted to drop to 58°F as winds shift from the northeast. Residents may want to keep an umbrella handy, as light showers could linger in the area through early Sunday morning.
Looking ahead, Sunday will see mostly cloudy skies with temperatures around 69°F, while lows dip to the mid-50s at night. By Monday, temperatures will continue to cool slightly with highs near 72°F and mostly sunny conditions. Clear skies are expected Monday night as temperatures dip to around 52°F, setting the stage for a sunny Tuesday with a high near 76°F.
Midweek, South Carolina will likely experience a brief warm-up, with highs approaching 82°F on Wednesday, though patchy fog may develop in the morning. Residents traveling along I-26 should remain cautious of potentially slick roads from scattered showers and fog.
