Mon Mar 10 11:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Midlands to Enjoy Spring-like Day Before Chilly, Wet Week
**Columbia, SC** – Midlands residents are urged to enjoy today’s pleasant weather, as a significant shift is expected early next week. The area will experience warm, breezy conditions today, with temperatures reaching the mid to upper 70s. However, strong winds, gusting up to 30 mph, are predicted, prompting warnings to secure loose outdoor items and avoid outdoor burning due to heightened fire risk. High-profile vehicles should also exercise caution while driving.
This pleasant spell will be short-lived. A cold front arriving Sunday will usher in much cooler temperatures, dropping daytime highs into the 50s. Rain showers will begin Sunday, increasing in intensity overnight and continuing into Monday. While thunderstorms are unlikely, some areas could see over an inch of rainfall, leaving Monday chilly and damp.
Conditions are expected to improve by Tuesday, with temperatures rebounding and rain clearing. However, another chance of rain is possible by Thursday.
