Columbia, South Carolina — A cold front is moving through this afternoon, causing the breeze to pick up.
We’ve had gusts of up to 30 mph this afternoon, but the wind will diminish as the cold front moves offshore this evening.
This front will drop highs to the upper 60s on Monday, but temperatures will return to the 70s and 80s for the rest of the week.
Meanwhile, low temperatures will remain in the 40s or 50s every night for the next week.
Dry weather is predicted to dominate throughout the following few days.
Our next weather system should bring showers to the area on Friday and Saturday.
This system may bring some severe weather to our west, so keep a look out for thunderstorms as well.
However, the severe threat is anticipated to subside before the front arrives in the Midlands.
If we fast forward to Thanksgiving week, the weather does not look much different.
According to long-range projections, temperatures in the southeast United States will likely continue above average.
Colder weather is expected to arrive sometime in early December.
Occasional rain is expected Thanksgiving week as well, but showers and storms will be more common in the central United States.
