Columbia, SC –A crisp, sunny day is on tap for Columbia, but temperatures will dip sharply overnight, bringing patchy frost to parts of the area. Daytime highs Saturday reached the low 60s, but tonight’s lows will drop into the low to mid-30s, making for one of the chilliest nights this season.
According to the National Weather Service, clear skies and calm winds will create prime conditions for frost formation, especially in rural and low-lying areas. Residents planning outdoor activities Sunday morning should take precautions, including covering sensitive plants and preparing for a brisk start to the day.
Looking ahead to Thanksgiving week, Columbia can expect a warming trend. Sunday will bring sunshine and a high of 67, with calm winds and mild conditions lasting into the afternoon. Overnight, temperatures will remain above freezing, hovering around 41. Monday and Tuesday are shaping up to be even warmer, with highs of 71 and 73 respectively, under mostly sunny skies. Thanksgiving Day may see a slight chance of showers, but mild highs near 65 should keep travel disruptions to a minimum.
Drivers heading out for holiday travel should take advantage of the clear roads early in the week. By Friday, cooler temperatures and scattered showers may return, potentially affecting post-holiday plans.
