Ohioans, get ready! Columbus is about to be hit by showers and thunderstorms this Friday, and the wet weather won’t be packing up anytime soon. Rain is expected to stick around through the weekend, threatening to soak outdoor events and change everyone’s plans. This isn’t just a quick sprinkle — these storms could bring heavy rain, thunder, and lightning that demand your attention.
The storms rolling in could make roads slippery and cause brief flooding in some areas, so it’s best to drive carefully and watch out for sudden weather changes. Thunder and lightning might catch some by surprise, so don’t forget to stay indoors during the worst of it.
The weekend doesn’t look much better. Expect cloudy skies and steady rain that could linger all through Saturday and Sunday. Outdoor activities might be disrupted, so planning ahead is key. Experts advise keeping an eye on the weather updates as this wet spell continues.
Though the rain might feel like a hassle, it’s good news for plants and water supplies around the region. Still, packing a raincoat or umbrella is smart, and considering indoor plans will save you from getting drenched.
