Today only a few degrees shy in front of warm temperatures

Columbia, SC (awake) – The mercury continues to climb today!

The temperatures will run from the upper 40s to the upper 70s and low 80s this afternoon.

These heights will only be a few degrees that set records for today's date.

This warming up is some airy southwest winds, which could gave up to 30 miles per hour this afternoon.

After a sunny start, clouds will build in the afternoon when a cold front from the west approaches.

This could accommodate some scattered rain shower late afternoon and early in the early evening, but will only stay long enough to fall less than 0.25 inches.

The sky will detach back this evening when the temperatures drop to the low 40s.

The next few days will be sunny, but the temperatures will be up and down.

Höchst and Saturday took place in the mid -1960s to the mid -1970s.

Then we will cool down briefly with the heights by Sunday and Monday in the middle and upper 50.

Sunday evening seems to be a single chance of freezing in the next 10 days.

Rain and a chance for some thunderstorms will probably return to Midlands next Wednesday.
