    Showers and thunderstorms, high near 79°

    What is the weather today in Columbus, Georgia?

    Today in Columbus, Georgia: showers and thunderstorms, high near 79° — tonight low 66° · Thursday high 81°.

    Chance of rain over the next twelve hours
    Chance of rain over the next twelve hours. Map: CNAW2, built from NOAA data on a USGS base.

    Rain showers likely before 10am, then showers and thunderstorms. Cloudy, with a high near 79. Tonight: A chance of showers and thunderstorms before 2am. Thursday: A slight chance of rain showers after noon.

    Why it is doing this

    What the day does comes down to three things: where the air came from, which way the pressure is going, and how much of the sun gets through.

    Cloud cover is close to total, which caps the afternoon high and holds the overnight low up.

    The dew point is 68, the sticky end of comfortable. It is also the floor the overnight low works against: the air will not usually fall much below it.

    The barometer is down 1.0 millibars in six hours. Falling pressure means air is being lifted somewhere close by, and lifted air is what builds cloud and, eventually, rain.
