What to do
Plan ahead
Any address, any day. Up to 9 days out, it’s our forecast. Further out, an extended forecast from 30 years of weather here.
Our automated weather channel is on the air around the clock: the radar, the temperatures, the week ahead — and when a warning hits the Valley, it stays with the storm.
How cold will it be Monday morning at the bus stop in LaGrange and Columbus?
At 7 AM Monday it will be about 32 degrees with widespread frost in LaGrange and 38 degrees in Columbus, with the area's coldest stop 31 degrees in Hogansville and the mildest 40 degrees in Auburn.

The coldest corner in the viewing area at 7 AM Monday is in Hogansville, where Callaway families will step outside into 31 degrees, calm air and widespread frost on the grass and the windshields. It is the only stop in the area forecast to be below freezing at that hour, and it will not be below freezing by much.
LaGrange is close behind at 32 degrees, also calm and also frosty, for LaGrange, Troup County and LaGrange Academy. Greenville matches that number at 32 with a light breeze and more cloud cover. The reason the north end of the area gets the frost is the sky above it: when the air is calm and the clouds are thin, the ground radiates its heat straight out to space all night, and cold air slides downhill into the low spots. Farther south, a deck of mid-level cloud acts like a blanket and holds a few degrees in.
From there the map warms slowly. Lanett and Springwood start at 33. Manchester is 35. LaFayette and Chambers Academy, along with Valley and Beulah, come in at 36, as do Central-Talbotton in Talbotton, Webster County in Preston and Quitman County in Georgetown. Cusseta's Chattahoochee County, Schley County in Ellaville and Taylor County in Butler all begin at 37.
The broad middle of the area sits at 38 degrees, mostly cloudy, with about 5 miles an hour of wind — not enough to bite. That covers Columbus, where Shaw, Hardaway, Jordan, Carver, Spencer, Kendrick, Columbus, Northside, Brookstone, Pacelli and Calvary Christian all share the same 38; Phenix City and Central; Smiths Station and Glenwood; Russell County at Seale; Harris County in Hamilton; Marion County in Buena Vista; Stewart County in Lumpkin out toward Providence Canyon; Randolph Clay in Cuthbert; and Eufaula.
The warm end of the area is the Alabama side. Barbour County in Clayton, Opelika and Beauregard, and Booker T. Washington in Tuskegee all start at 39. The mildest stops of all are at 40 degrees in Auburn, for Auburn High and Lee-Scott, and in Loachapoka and Notasulga. That is the whole spread: 9 degrees from Hogansville to Auburn, which is a remarkably tight morning for an area this wide.
What to send kids out in: a real coat and something for the hands at the frosty stops in Hogansville, LaGrange and Greenville, and a hoodie or light jacket everywhere else. No umbrella is needed anywhere — the rain chance Monday morning is zero from Meriwether County to Barbour County. Expect the jacket to come home carried rather than worn, because Columbus climbs back to about 61 by the afternoon.
Enjoy the frost while it lasts, if that is your sort of thing. Forecasters expect overnight lows across the region to climb back above freezing by the middle of the week, with mornings in the 40s to near 50 and afternoons reaching the low 70s by Thursday and Friday.
No school or town by that name in the viewing area.
