    Rain back in the picture on Wednesday

    What is the seven-day forecast for Columbus, Georgia?

    Rain back in the picture on Wednesday — highs 79° to 81° over the next five days.

    Afternoons run between 79 and 81 degrees over the next five days. The wettest day looks like Wednesday, at a 80 percent chance — showers and thunderstorms. Forecast from the National Weather Service.

    Why it is doing this

    A seven-day is a pattern, not seven forecasts. What is worth knowing is what is steering the pattern.

    Behind the day to day, a very strong El Niño is in place — the Pacific index sits at +2.16. It does not decide any single afternoon, but it tilts the odds for the season.

    The barometer is down 1.5 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 dew point is only 45. Dry air swings hard both ways: warm by afternoon, and a good deal colder by dawn than the forecast number suggests.
