Columbus, OH – Crisp dawn air settled across central Ohio this morning, the kind that bites just enough to hint at winter’s approach. Skies remain mostly cloudy early, but sunshine will return through the day as the region slides into a calm, dry stretch that carries through the start of next week. It’s a picture-perfect setup for fall chores, local travel, or the first round of holiday decorating before colder air deepens later this month.
According to the National Weather Service in Wilmington, a few early sprinkles may linger near sunrise before clearing quickly. Temperatures climb to near 57°F this afternoon with light west winds around 8 mph. Sunday and Monday will stay dry, featuring highs in the upper 50s to near 60°F under mostly sunny skies. Morning lows dip into the upper 30s — cool enough for light frost in rural spots north and east of Columbus.
Drivers along I-70, I-71, and Route 33 can expect smooth travel through early week with no major weather hazards. Calm winds and dry pavement make for ideal fall commuting and outdoor conditions, though nights will feel brisk. Residents should cover late-season garden plants and prepare for cooler air that may intensify later in November as models hint at a stronger northern push of Arctic influence.
To be fair, this mild pattern feels like a last gasp of easy autumn weather before the inevitable shift toward chillier mornings and longer nights. For now, central Ohio enjoys steady sunshine and crisp evenings — a pleasant pause before the season turns again.
