    TONIGHT

    Mostly cloudy, low near 65°

    What is the weather tonight in Columbus, Georgia?

    Tonight in Columbus, Georgia: mostly cloudy, low near 65° — thursday high 80° · Thursday Night low 61°.

    Forecast cloud cover across the Southeast
    Forecast cloud cover across the Southeast. Map: CNAW2, built from NOAA data on a USGS base.

    Mostly cloudy, with a low around 65. South wind around 0 mph. Thursday: A chance of rain showers before 1pm, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Thursday Night: A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms before 2am.

    Why it is doing this

    What an overnight low actually reaches has less to do with the day just gone than with two things after dark: how dry the air is, and whether there is any cloud to hold the heat in.

    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.

    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 wind is out of the southeast at about 4 miles an hour, so the air over us is coming in off the Gulf and the Florida panhandle.
