FRONT

A warm front comes through around 6:40 PM

When does the next front move through Columbus, Georgia?

A warm front comes through around 6:40 PM — a change in the wind with it.

The barometer bottoms out around 6:40 PM, 3.7 millibars below where it sits now, and the wind swings from the east round to the northeast behind it.

Why it is doing this

A front is not weather in itself — it is the boundary between two air masses, and everything you notice is the swap happening.

There is a warm front about 11 hours out. What you feel as it goes past is the wind swinging round and the air drying — about -2 degrees off the dew point behind it.

The barometer has hardly moved in six hours — up 0.5 millibars — which is why nothing much is changing.

The wind is out of the north at about 5 miles an hour, so the air over us is coming down out of the interior, which is drier and cooler air.
