The Columbus area is included in a Saturday morning Freeze Watch covering Georgia and Alabama. Lows in the low 30s are forecast across both states, though the outlook does not provide a separate temperature for Columbus.
A cold front is expected Friday, Nov. 13, with afternoon temperatures reaching only the upper 50s. After sunset, readings could drop into the 30s in some places by the time people leave Friday night football games.
Breezy conditions could make it feel like the 20s for many during Saturday’s watch. The forecast says the watch could be extended into Sunday, when lows are expected to be colder. Weekend afternoon highs are forecast to stay in the 50s.
The outlook calls for a gradual warmup next week, with highs approaching 70 by Thursday, Nov. 19, and overnight lows in the 40s. Rain chances are slim, and dry weather is forecast through next weekend.
