Thursday's Cold Front Brings the Valley Its Coldest Mornings of the Season
When does the cold front arrive in Columbus GA and how cold will this weekend get?
The front crosses the Chattahoochee Valley Thursday night, and Columbus falls to a forecast 33 degrees Saturday morning with frost likely across west Georgia and east Alabama.

Columbus reached 78 degrees at the airport Tuesday afternoon, 8 degrees above normal for the date. The forecast low for Saturday morning at that same thermometer is 33. One cold front does all of that work, and it crosses the Valley Thursday night.
Today is the warm side of it. Expect a partly sunny sky, a high near 73 and only a 4 percent chance of a shower. Forecasters at the National Weather Service in Peachtree City say the showers and isolated storms riding this system should stay north of I-20, far from Columbus, LaGrange and Eufaula. Our gauges stay quiet: Columbus has measured 0.07 of an inch so far this month, about an inch and a tenth behind normal for the first ten days of November, even though the year as a whole is running 2.44 inches ahead of normal.
Thursday climbs to 71 under full sun. Behind the front, the Weather Service expects winds around 20 to 25 mph Friday afternoon, and Friday's high stops at 60. Then comes the cold: 59 and 33 Saturday, 61 and 38 Sunday, with the Birmingham and Peachtree City offices both flagging widespread frost and freezing conditions this weekend. Peachtree City says it will likely issue freeze warnings for counties that drop below 32.
If you garden anywhere from Phenix City to Hamilton, this is the weekend to act. The soil a couple of inches down is still 56 degrees, so roots are in no danger; it is the tender tops that go first. Move potted plants against the house or inside, and cover anything you still want green next week. Low-lying yards along the creeks will run a few degrees colder than the airport reading.
One more thing working against us: the sun now sets at 5:41 in Columbus, and we lose another minute and a half of daylight every day until the solstice on December 21.
