Weekend on the Trails: Sunday Is the Warmer, Calmer Day to Be Outside
What is the weather this weekend for hiking at Callaway Gardens and Providence Canyon?
Both days are sunny and dry, but Sunday afternoon is the better pick, reaching 60 at Callaway Gardens and 61 at Providence Canyon with only a 5 mph breeze.

If you only get one afternoon outdoors this weekend, make it Sunday. Both days are sunny with essentially no rain, but Sunday afternoon runs 5 to 7 degrees warmer than Saturday and the wind nearly disappears. The difference is most obvious up on the Pine Mountain ridge, where Saturday afternoon tops out at 52 degrees with a 15 mph wind and Sunday afternoon reaches 59 with the air almost still.
Start with the mornings, because they are cold. At 8 AM Saturday it is 36 at F.D. Roosevelt State Park, 37 at Callaway Gardens, 38 on the Chattahoochee RiverWalk in Columbus and Phenix City, and 38 at Providence Canyon near Lumpkin. Sunday mornings are within a degree of the same. Clear skies and light wind let the ground radiate its heat straight up overnight, which is exactly why the first hour after sunrise feels colder than the forecast number suggests.
On the RiverWalk, Saturday warms from 38 at 8 AM to 57 by 2 PM with a 10 mph breeze coming down the river corridor. Sunday is the nicer walk: 39 at 8 AM, dead calm, and 62 by the middle of the afternoon under full sun.
Callaway Gardens at Pine Mountain holds at 37 both mornings. Saturday afternoon only reaches 53 and the wind runs 15 mph, so that is a jacket-and-gloves walk. Sunday afternoon is 60 with a 5 mph breeze. Dowdell's Knob and the rest of F.D. Roosevelt State Park sit a degree or two cooler than the gardens at every hour, and the ridge is the one place in the area where the wind is worth planning around on Saturday.
Providence Canyon near Lumpkin goes from 38 in the morning to 56 Saturday afternoon and 61 Sunday afternoon. The canyon floor is sheltered, and sun on those red and white walls is a lot of the reason midday feels warmer down in them than the air temperature reads.
The warmest mornings in the area belong to the two southern parks. Chewacla State Park just south of Auburn starts at 43 Saturday and 44 Sunday, reaching 56 and then 62 in the afternoons. Lakepoint State Park at Eufaula is 42 and 43 in the mornings, 58 Saturday afternoon and 63 Sunday afternoon, the warmest figure anywhere on the list. If you want to be out early without waiting for the sun to do its work, drive south.
Dress in layers you can shed, because the spread between 8 AM and 2 PM is close to 20 degrees at nearly every one of these places. Gloves and a hat for the first hour, a windbreaker on the Pine Mountain ridge Saturday, and a light shirt underneath for the afternoon. Watch the clock, too: the sun sets in Columbus at 5:42 PM today and we are losing about a minute and a half of daylight every day, so by the weekend the light is going even earlier. Be off the canyon rim and back on the main trail well before dusk.
