    What is the weather today in Columbus, Georgia?

    Today in Columbus, Georgia: sunny, high near 71° — tonight low 40° · Friday high 59°.

    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.

    Sunny, with a high near 71. West wind 5 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph. Tonight: Clear, with a low around 40. Friday: Sunny, with a high near 59.

    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.

    The sky is nearly clear, so the sun does its full work by day and the ground radiates that heat straight back out after dark.

    The dew point is only 47. Dry air swings hard both ways: warm by afternoon, and a good deal colder by dawn than the forecast number suggests.

    The barometer is down 1.6 millibars in six hours. Falling pressure means air is being lifted somewhere close by, and lifted air is what builds cloud and, eventually, rain.
