    NEXT HOUR

    Dry for now, but there's a slight chance of rain around 12:14 AM

    Will it rain in Columbus, Georgia in the next hour?

    Dry for now, but there's a slight chance of rain around 12:14 AM — nothing on the radar over the Valley yet.

    The next hour comes up dry, though there's a slight chance of rain around 12:14 AM. SkySync blends live radar with the short-range model and refreshes every two minutes.

    Why it is doing this

    Rain needs air to be lifted until it cools past the point where it can hold its moisture. Two things do that lifting here: a front, or the ground simply heating up through the afternoon.

    The barometer is up 1.2 millibars in six hours. Rising pressure means air is sinking, and sinking air warms and dries on the way down, which is what clears a sky out.

    The wind is out of the east at about 7 miles an hour, so the air over us is coming in from the Atlantic side of Georgia.

    The dew point is only 54. Dry air swings hard both ways: warm by afternoon, and a good deal colder by dawn than the forecast number suggests.
