Daily forecast | From First Alert Meteorologist Tim Strong
Seasonal Highs Thru Friday. Hotter Weekend with Isolated PM Storms Friday through Monday.
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - High pressure over the area today will keep rain chances very, very low with seasonably warm temperatures in the lower 90s. A tropical wave heads our way Friday into the weekend allowing for hotter and more humid air to return. This will bring back dangerous heat/humidity and afternoon storm chances.
We’ll have a nice breeze this afternoon between 6-12 mph from the east. Humidity will be quite tolerable and highs will be around the 90°.
Morning lows will be in the mid-60s early Friday. Highs will be seasonal in the low 90s, but more humidity will be in the air as a tropical wave moves through the region. This will also bring back the potential for widely scattered showers and thunderstorms. Winds will be out of the east between 5-12 mph.
It does look to getter hotter and more humid for the weekend. Feel like temperatures will be near 100° Saturday and Sunday afternoon. We will have the potential for hit or miss showers and storms in the afternoon-evening. There will be a moderate heat risk Saturday and major heat risk Sunday. Stay hydrated and cool during the afternoons. UV index will also be 10-11 through next week - sun is most harmful between 10 am and 4 pm.
Keep it here for updates the next few days!
