Columbus ties December temperature record with 68-degree day
Columbus reached 68 degrees Sunday, tying a Dec. 28 record set in 1984, before much colder, windier weather moved in. Columbus hit 68 degrees on Dec. 28, tying a nearly 40-year-old December record, according to the National Weather Service. This was in stark contrast to typical late-December conditions in central Ohio, where average highs usually fall below 50 degrees. The warm weather was attributed to high pressure and southerly flow pushing temperatures above normal for late December. However, a strong cold front moved through early Monday, bringing sharply cooler air and windier conditions, leading to a high wind warning for much of the region. Forecasters warned that sustained winds of 30–40 mph could cause tree limbs to topple and power outages.
