Rain is still falling across Columbus this morning, and if you're heading out for an early commute, that's your first problem of the day. Overnight storms pushed a cold front through the area, and lingering showers are working their way out now.
Here's the thing about today's weather pattern. It's a two-act problem.
On temperatures, the high today sits somewhere between sixty-three and seventy degrees. That's ten to fifteen degrees below what Columbus would normally expect in mid-May.
For the commute specifically, here's the practical read. Morning departure means rain gear and wet roads.
On severe weather, there are no active alerts for Columbus right now. The front has cleared the worst of it.
The pattern shifts quickly from here. Friday brings a warming trend as southerly flow returns, pulling temperatures back toward seasonal norms.
For today, the two numbers to hold onto are mid-morning for the rain exit and thirty-five miles per hour for the afternoon gusts. Those two windows define your Wednesday travel risk more than anything else.
