    COLD FRONT

    A cold front comes through around 3:51 PM

    When does the next front move through Columbus, Georgia?

    A cold front comes through around 3:51 PM — drier air behind it — the dew point drops about 9 degrees.

    The barometer bottoms out around 3:51 PM, 2.8 millibars below where it sits now, and the wind swings from the east round to the east behind it. The dew point falls about 9 degrees after it passes, which is what makes the air feel different rather than just cooler.

    Why it is doing this

    A front is not weather in itself — it is the boundary between two air masses, and everything you notice is the swap happening.

    There is a cold front about 6 hours out. What you feel as it goes past is the wind swinging round and the air drying — about 9 degrees off the dew point behind it.

    The barometer is up 1.5 millibars in six hours. Rising pressure means air is sinking, and sinking air warms and dries on the way down, which is what clears a sky out.
