Columbus, Ohio – Sunshine and summer heat will rule the weekend in Columbus, sending highs into the low 90s through Monday and delivering one of August’s best stretches for outdoor plans, festivals, or late-summer events. Temperatures will climb to 89°F Friday, 91°F Saturday, and 92°F Sunday before peaking near 93°F Monday, with warm nights and barely a cloud in sight.
According to the National Weather Service, dry air and calm winds will keep skies clear, humidity moderate, and the risk of storms at zero through Monday night across Franklin County, Grandview Heights, and the entire Columbus metro. Outdoor dining, pool parties, or back-to-school shopping are all a go as rain chances remain minimal. Area parks, trails, and the Scioto Mile will see ideal summer conditions—just pack water and use sun protection during the afternoon peak.
Storm chances return Tuesday after 2 p.m., when a line of showers and thunderstorms is expected to develop, possibly bringing a 40% risk of rain and some locally gusty winds. Until then, enjoy this rare, rain-free August weekend. More updates will follow if the Tuesday threat increases.
