What is the weather today in Columbus, Georgia?

Today in Columbus, Georgia: mostly sunny then slight chance rain showers, high near 89° — tonight low 68° · Thursday high 82°.

A slight chance of rain showers between 2pm and 4pm. Mostly sunny. Tonight: Partly cloudy, with a low around 68. Thursday: Partly sunny, with a high near 82.

Why it is doing this

What the day does comes down to three things: where the air came from, which way the pressure is going, and how much of the sun gets through.

The sky is nearly clear, so the sun does its full work by day and the ground radiates that heat straight back out after dark.

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.

The barometer is up 1.6 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.
