Notes from the First Alert Weather Team:

  • Today will be the better of the two days this weekend for outdoor plans. We’ll have a mix of sun and clouds and warm temperatures near 80 degrees.
  • A moderate to high risk of rip currents is in place at our beaches both today and tomorrow. Beachgoers are advised to stay out of the water.
  • Sunday will be a First Alert Weather Day:
    • Rain will develop early Sunday morning, perhaps with a few embedded thunderstorms. On and off thunderstorms are expected through the day across the entire area.
    • Main hazards are heavy rain, lightning, and strong wind gusts. An isolated strong/severe storm can’t be ruled out.
    • Rain totals of 1-1.5″ are possible wherever thunderstorms occur.
    • Much of the rain will be beneficial in lowering pollen counts and helping alleviate fire concerns. Still, it gets in the way of the weekend.
  • Monday will be very warm and mostly dry during the day. Highs will reach the upper 80s in many neighborhoods.
  • A cold front will be approaching late Monday into Tuesday, with a line of weakening thunderstorms ahead of it. A few of these storms could be strong, particularly in SE GA.
  • We stay very warm throughout the week.
