Easter Sunday in Columbia, South Carolina, is a “First Alert Weather Day” because of the risk of rain and thunderstorms that could affect holiday outdoor plans.
What the forecast says
- The forecast calls for a chance of showers and a couple of thunderstorms, mainly during the afternoon and early evening, as an approaching cold front moves through.
- After the front passes, the weather is expected to turn cooler and drier for the evening and following days.
Impact on Easter plans
- Authorities and local forecasters are advising residents to have an indoor backup plan for outdoor Easter events (like egg hunts, brunches, or church gatherings) in case a downpour or brief thunderstorm interrupts activities.
- There is no indication of severe storms or tornados at this time, but the timing of rain clusters means it pays to monitor the sky during the afternoon.
If you tell me whether you’re in Columbia or coming from around the Upstate (like Greenville–Spartanburg), I can give a more specific “Easter‑day” rain‑timing window for your route to church or family events.
