We’re taking a look at one of the three Columbuses we have in our system, and the only one that I’ve had the pleasure of passing through in person.

At 245PM, ET, Columbus was reporting a temperature of 19 degrees with clear skies and a steady west wind. High pressure was building into the area, however a weak wave riding the forward edge of this ridge brought a few flakes to the region through the overnight, and the accumulated inch or so may be helping keep temperatures a degree or two cooler.
High pressure is going to remain in place for the next couple of days, building in from the west. While there is a weak thermal trough embedded in this ridge, it won’t be enough to slow down the warm up coming for Columbus this weekend. Expect a fairly pleasant weekend with sunny skies.
