Freeze Warning Sunday Morning, Then a Dry Climb Back Into the 70s
Is there a freeze warning for Columbus and the Chattahoochee Valley this weekend?
Yes — a Freeze Warning covers the entire CNAW viewing area, including Columbus, Phenix City, LaGrange and east Alabama, for Sunday morning, with Columbus falling to about 33 degrees before a dry, warming week.

Saturday never really warmed up in Columbus. The airport topped out at 60 degrees at 3:34 in the afternoon, nine degrees below the normal high of 69, after a morning low of 37 that was also nine degrees below normal. Sunday morning will be colder still.
The National Weather Service has a Freeze Warning in effect for the whole viewing area at daybreak Sunday — the Peachtree City office covering the Georgia counties, the Birmingham office covering the Alabama side through 8 AM. High pressure is sliding down from the Upper Midwest, the sky is clear and the wind drops to almost nothing overnight. With no breeze to stir warmer air down to the surface, the ground simply radiates its heat away to space, and the temperature falls until the sun comes back up. Columbus should bottom out near 33 with widespread frost, and most towns from LaGrange to Lumpkin will be at or below freezing.
Here is the part worth remembering: forecasters at Peachtree City wrote Saturday evening that this is probably the last freeze warning of the fall. It comes on the heels of a fairly widespread freeze Saturday morning and right around the date the first freeze normally arrives here, and once freezing nights become the expectation rather than the exception, the Weather Service stops issuing the headlines for the season. If you have tender plants on a porch in Hamilton, Cuthbert or Phenix City, this is the night to bring them in.
After that, the week turns quiet and steadily warmer. Columbus goes 60 Sunday, 60 Monday, 66 Tuesday, 70 Wednesday, 73 Thursday and 74 on Friday, with sunshine nearly every day and a rain chance of 1 percent at best.
The rain ledger explains why that matters. Columbus has recorded 0.07 of an inch since November 1, against a normal of 1.68 by this date, and 5.77 inches since September 1 against a normal of 7.80. For the calendar year the city is still slightly ahead, 43.67 inches against 41.75. The soil about two inches down is holding 49 degrees, warmer than the air will be at dawn, which is why roots come through a frosty night far better than leaves do.
