    THE WEEK

    Highs holding in the 80s through the week

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

    Highs holding in the 80s through the week — highs 72° to 80° over the next five days.

    Afternoons run between 72 and 80 degrees over the next five days. Nothing in the seven-day is asking for a change of plan. 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 +2.46. It does not decide any single afternoon, but it tilts the odds for the season.

    The barometer has hardly moved in six hours — up 0.3 millibars — which is why nothing much is changing.

    The dew point is 70, the sticky end of comfortable. It is also the floor the overnight low works against: the air will not usually fall much below it.
