    COLD FRONT

    A cold front comes through tomorrow

    When does the next front move through Columbus, Georgia?

    A cold front comes through tomorrow — drier air behind it — the dew point drops about 10 degrees.

    The barometer bottoms out tomorrow, 4.9 millibars below where it sits now, and the wind swings from the west round to the northwest behind it. The dew point falls about 10 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 14 hours out. What you feel as it goes past is the wind swinging round and the air drying — about 10 degrees off the dew point behind it.

    The barometer is down 1.2 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 4 miles an hour, so the air over us is coming straight off the Gulf, which is where the Valley gets its humidity.
