Columbus, OH – Ohio residents can finally look forward to clear skies after days of rain and thunderstorms. By Thursday, October 9, sunshine returns across Central Ohio, bringing a true taste of fall with cooler air and bright, dry days.
According to the National Weather Service in Wilmington, showers and possible thunderstorms will continue through Tuesday afternoon before tapering off midweek. Rainfall totals could reach up to half an inch, leading to brief ponding on low-lying roads like I-70 and U.S. Route 33 during the Tuesday morning commute. Drivers should reduce speed and allow extra travel time during the heaviest downpours.
By Wednesday evening, skies clear and winds shift north, ushering in refreshing, mild air. Highs will hover near 65°F on Thursday, with Friday reaching a pleasant 70°F under full sun. Lows will dip into the 40s—ideal for fall outings, pumpkin patches, and early Halloween decorating.
Looking ahead, Columbus is set for a picture-perfect fall weekend. Saturday and Sunday will feature sunshine, calm winds, and highs near 72°F. Those planning park visits or fall foliage drives can expect ideal viewing conditions through early next week.
Stay tuned for updates as Ohio transitions from this wet spell to a bright, cool fall stretch perfect for outdoor plans.
