Heat Wave & Storms This Weekend | Columbus News

Columbus is baking under a relentless heat wave, with temps hitting the mid-90s and humidity making it feel like over 100—especially this holiday weekend. Today’s mostly dry, but pop-up thunderstorms could bring heavy rain and wind, so pack a poncho if you’re hitting the Fourth of July festivities. Tomorrow’s forecast mirrors today’s: clear mornings, stormy afternoons with a slight severe weather risk (mainly strong winds). Storms linger through Sunday, with scattered thunderstorms Monday and Tuesday—then finally, a reprieve: highs in the upper 80s next week (still hot, but a welcome break). Just remember, even then, the heat index stays in the 90s. Stay smart, stay hydrated, and check the radar for real-time updates.
