Columbia Braces for Rainy Weather and Traffic Safety Changes
Hello, Columbia! It looks like we’re in for quite a wet day ahead. If you’re planning to head out this afternoon, make sure to grab that umbrella, because we’ve got some rain showers rolling in. Forecasts predict that early morning showers will turn into a more steady rainfall as the day goes on. Expect temperatures to reach a comfortable high of around 74°F. However, you might want to keep an eye on the sky, as there’s a hefty 90% chance of rain today!
The expected rainfall is about half an inch, so be prepared for the possibility of localized flooding. It’s always a good idea to stay alert during these rainy spells, especially if you happen to navigate through low-lying areas. Winds will be coming in from the NNE at speeds of 10 to 20 mph, so if you’re biking or walking, be cautious of those gusts!
