Columbus, Ohio – Thunderstorms will roll into central Ohio Sunday afternoon, bringing downpours, lightning, and possible flash flooding to Columbus just as the weekend winds down. Roads like I-70 and I-71 could see slick conditions and reduced visibility by 2 p.m., with storms continuing through Sunday evening.
According to the National Weather Service, showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected after noon Sunday, with some cells capable of producing heavy rainfall. Winds will shift from the southeast to the northwest throughout the day, with highs near 78°F and an 80% chance of precipitation.
Showers remain likely through Sunday night as clouds and muggy air linger. With low temperatures around 63°F and light winds, flooding could persist in low-lying areas. The rain continues into Monday, tapering off later in the day, but storms may still develop after 11 a.m.
Motorists should monitor local alerts and avoid driving through flooded roads. Charge your devices, check storm drains, and secure outdoor items ahead of the weather. If thunder roars, go indoors.
After the weekend soakers, Columbus gets a brief summer break with clearer skies Tuesday and highs near 77°F — but another rain chance returns Friday.
