Valley Cooldown: Frost Both Weekend Mornings After a 74-Degree Thursday
Will it frost this weekend in Columbus and west Georgia?
Frost is expected both Saturday and Sunday mornings across the Columbus area, with Columbus falling to about 33 degrees Saturday and 37 Sunday under clear skies.

Columbus climbed to 74 degrees at 1:57 Thursday afternoon, five degrees above the normal high of 69 for November 12 and still well short of the 82 on the books for the date, set in 1915, matched in 1916 and matched again in 2024. That warmth is the last of it for a while.
A second cold front slides through tonight, and the colder air arrives behind it on Friday with a gusty northwest wind. Columbus tops out near 59 under full sun. Forecasters at the National Weather Service in Peachtree City expect it to be the most autumn-like day the region has had this season, and their colleagues in Birmingham are flagging frost and freezing conditions across east Alabama through the weekend.
The mornings are the story. Columbus bottoms out near 33 on Saturday and 37 on Sunday, with frost expected both days. Out at West Point Lake it is 33 at 8 AM Saturday, and the ridge at F.D. Roosevelt State Park near Warm Springs starts at 35. A Freeze Watch is already up for parts of west and north Georgia for Saturday morning, mostly north of our counties; by Sunday morning, with clear skies and light winds, the Weather Service expects freezing readings to spread much more widely across north and central Georgia. A first freeze in mid-November is right on schedule for this part of the state.
There is no rain in any of it, and November has been strikingly dry already. Columbus has recorded 0.07 inches this month against a normal of 1.42 through the 12th. The year as a whole is still ahead of pace at 43.71 inches, compared with a normal 41.56.
If you have tender plants in pots on the porch in Columbus, Hamilton or LaGrange, move them inside Friday and Saturday evening, and cover what is still in the ground. The cold does not last long: highs climb back to 64 on Tuesday and 68 on Wednesday.
