You wouldn’t know by the weather that Halloween is just three weeks away.
Last Saturday’s high of 88 degrees set a record and the average daily temperature in October so far is running 4.5 degrees above normal, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).
Three days have seen highs in the 80s and three days have reached the 70s. Normal highs for October do not exceed the 60s, according to the NWS.
As of Wednesday morning, Columbus had officially not seen a freeze, with lows ranging from 34 degrees to 48 degrees.
The weekend forecast calls for more of the same, with highs in the low 70s.
