Valley Cold Snap: Columbus Goes From the Upper 70s to a 33-Degree Saturday
How cold will it get this weekend in Columbus GA?
Columbus is forecast to fall to 34 degrees Friday morning and 33 Saturday morning behind Thursday's cold front, with frost likely across west Georgia and east Alabama.

Columbus topped out at 78 degrees Tuesday afternoon, eight degrees above the normal high of 70 for the date. By Saturday morning the thermometer at the Columbus airport is forecast to read 33. That is a 45-degree swing in four days, and it is the whole weather story of the week.
The turn comes Thursday. National Weather Service forecasters in Birmingham are flagging a strong cold front for Thursday that brings gusty wind and much colder air, and their counterparts at Peachtree City call what follows the coldest air of the season so far, with widespread frost and freezing conditions likely this weekend. There is very little rain attached to it. Wednesday carries only a 3 percent rain chance in Columbus, and Thursday comes up dry.
Here is how it stacks up in Columbus: 74 degrees Wednesday afternoon, 71 Thursday, then 60 on Friday with a 34-degree Friday morning and 33 Saturday morning. Sunday recovers to 62 with a 38-degree start. Saturday at 8 AM it is forecast to be 34 at West Point Lake near LaGrange, 36 at Callaway Gardens, 35 up on the Pine Mountain ridge at F.D. Roosevelt State Park and 38 along the RiverWalk in Columbus and Phenix City. Eufaula and Clayton stay a few degrees milder, closer to the low 40s.
If you garden anywhere from Hamilton to Greenville to Opelika, this is the weekend to move the tender pots against the house and throw a sheet over whatever is still blooming. The ground itself is not cold yet. Soil temperature two inches down is running 56 degrees, which is why roots and bulbs will shrug this off even when the air above them does not.
One more number worth keeping: Columbus has picked up 0.07 of an inch of rain this month against a normal of 1.16 by this date. The year as a whole is still ahead, at 43.67 inches compared with a normal of 41.23. November is the month running behind, not 2026.
The next real rain chance after the front is Monday, at 21 percent. Until then, expect sun, dry air and mornings that ask for a scraper on the windshield.
