FRONT

A warm front comes through around 5:04 PM

When does the next front move through Columbus, Georgia?

A warm front comes through around 5:04 PM — a change in the wind with it.

The barometer bottoms out around 5:04 PM, 1.4 millibars below where it sits now, and the wind swings from the south round to the southeast behind it.

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 warm front about 2 hours out. What you feel as it goes past is the wind swinging round and the air drying — about 2 degrees off the dew point behind it.

The barometer is down 2.0 millibars in six hours. Falling pressure means air is being lifted somewhere close by, and lifted air is what builds cloud and, eventually, rain.

The wind is out of the south at about 8 miles an hour, so the air over us is coming straight off the Gulf, which is where the Valley gets its humidity.
