    TONIGHT

    What is the weather tonight in Columbus, Georgia?

    Tonight in Columbus, Georgia: mostly clear, low near 54° — thursday high 71° · Thursday Night low 40°.

    Mostly clear, with a low around 54. Southwest wind around 5 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Thursday: Sunny, with a high near 71. Thursday Night: Clear, with a low around 40.

    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 only 48. Dry air swings hard both ways: warm by afternoon, and a good deal colder by dawn than the forecast number suggests.

    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 south at about 4 miles an hour, so the air over us is coming straight off the Gulf, which is where the Valley gets its humidity.
