Dry Stretch Ahead: No Rain in the Valley Forecast Into Next Week
Will it rain in Columbus, Georgia this week?
No measurable rain is expected in Columbus or anywhere in west Georgia and east Alabama, with rain chances near zero through the end of next week.

Columbus has collected 43.60 inches of rain since the first of January, about four and a quarter inches more than normal for this point in the year, and October alone has delivered 3.30 inches against a normal of 2.10. That total is not likely to move for a while.
The National Weather Service offices in Peachtree City and Birmingham spent Friday writing about the same thing: high pressure settled over the Southeast, rain chances near zero through the weekend, and no rain in the forecast through the end of next week. Air sinking under a strong area of high pressure warms and dries as it comes down, and Friday afternoon the atmosphere stirred well enough to pull that dry air all the way to the ground. Relative humidity dropped under 25 percent for a few hours in parts of central Georgia, and a fire danger statement ran until 8 PM.
That matters more in late October than it would in June. Grass has cured and leaves are down, and the fine fuels on the Pine Mountain ridge above Warm Springs, in the woods around Hamilton and Manchester, and in the sandy pine country near Lumpkin and Cuthbert catch easily when the air is this dry. The Birmingham office has flagged a moderate fire weather risk over the weekend for east Alabama as moisture stays limited and the wind increases. Be deliberate with anything you burn outdoors.
The wind is the other half of it. Northeast winds strengthen through the weekend and into early next week, with afternoon gusts around 15 to 20 mph, strongest south of the Interstate 85 corridor — Columbus, Phenix City, Cusseta and Eufaula.
Temperatures stay close to where they belong. Columbus fell to 47 degrees Friday morning, 7 below the normal low of 54, then warmed to 77. Look for 74 Saturday, 75 Sunday, and a slow climb to 79 by Thursday.
With the dew point in the 40s, the heat leaves fast after sunset. Mornings will keep feeling much colder than the afternoons all week.
