BUS STOP FORECAST

Bus Stop Forecast: A Mild, Calm Wednesday Morning Across the Valley

How cold will it be at the bus stop Wednesday morning in Columbus GA?

Columbus will be 49 degrees with calm wind at 7 AM Wednesday, with area stops ranging from 43 in Hogansville to 51 in Auburn, Opelika and Clayton.

Wednesday morning is as easy as a mid-November morning gets around here. At 7 AM the spread across the entire viewing area is just eight degrees, from 43 in Hogansville to 51 in Auburn, Opelika and Clayton, and the wind is calm at every single stop. Nobody needs gloves. A light jacket or a hoodie covers it, and plenty of middle schoolers will have it tied around their waist by lunchtime.

The cool end of the list is in the Georgia foothills and along the Chattahoochee north of Columbus. Hogansville, home of Callaway, is the coldest stop at 43 degrees under a sunny sky. LaGrange, where LaGrange, Troup County and LaGrange Academy students wait, is 44, and so is Greenville. Lanett and Springwood in Lanett come in at 46, Valley and Beulah in Valley at 47, and Manchester at 47. LaFayette, with LaFayette and Chambers Academy, warms to 48, as do Cusseta's Chattahoochee County, Georgetown's Quitman County and Talbotton's Central-Talbotton.

A broad band of the area sits right at 49 degrees at 7 AM: Columbus, where Shaw, Hardaway, Columbus, Spencer, Kendrick, Jordan, Carver, Northside, Calvary Christian, Pacelli and Brookstone all draw their students; Hamilton, home of Harris County; Seale, home of Russell County; Butler with Taylor County; Preston with Webster County; Tuskegee with Booker T. Washington; and Eufaula.

The mildest corners are in east Alabama and the southern Georgia counties. Auburn and Lee-Scott in Auburn, Beauregard and Opelika in Opelika, and Barbour County in Clayton all start at 51. Phenix City's Central-Phenix City, Smiths Station and Glenwood, Loachapoka and Notasulga are at 50, as are Buena Vista's Marion County, Cuthbert's Randolph Clay, Ellaville's Schley County and Lumpkin's Stewart County.

Rain is close to a non-issue, but it is not quite zero everywhere. Clayton has the highest chance in the area at 15 percent with a slight chance of showers in the forecast wording, and Eufaula is at 14 percent under a mostly cloudy sky. Tuskegee runs 9 percent, and Auburn, Opelika, Phenix City, Smiths Station, Loachapoka and Notasulga all sit at 8 percent with partly sunny skies. Across the Georgia side, from LaGrange and Manchester to Hamilton, Butler and Columbus, the chance is 2 or 3 percent. If you live in Barbour County, put a folding umbrella in the backpack; everywhere else can skip it.

One reason the morning feels gentle is that the air overhead is still unusually mild for the date, and with calm wind there is nothing stirring the chill down out of the sky. That changes fast. A strong cold front crosses Thursday, and by Friday morning Columbus is forecast to start near 34 degrees instead of 49. Whatever your child wears to the stop Wednesday will not be enough by the end of the week, so this is a good evening to find out where the winter coats ended up.
