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

    Dry for now, but light rain could move in around 8:44 AM — nothing on the radar over the Valley yet.

    The next hour comes up dry, though light rain could move in around 8:44 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 down 0.9 millibars in six hours. Falling pressure means air is being lifted somewhere close by, and lifted air is what builds cloud and, eventually, rain.

    The dew point is 68, the sticky end of comfortable. It is also the floor the overnight low works against: the air will not usually fall much below it.
