Daily forecast | From First Alert Meteorologist Mikel Hannah-Harding
Rain moves in this evening and continues into Monday morning/early afternoon.
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - Plenty of sunshine early Sunday helped us warm up into the middle and upper 50s before rain moved in for some locations. Rain will last into Monday morning becoming more widespread and accompanied by strong wind gusts and cold air surging in by the afternoon. Lows tonight will be reached in between midnight and 2 AM, with temperatures rising thereafter as we head towards midday Monday. Most areas will get down into the middle 40s for lows tonight.
Wind gusts could reach 35+ mph at times on Monday afternoon out of the northwest as our next front es though the area. Cold air advection will occur bringing in chilly air and temperatures will fall from the upper 50s around midday into the 40s before sunset. We can expect a big cool down by Tuesday morning with feels like temperatures dropping into the low 20s and upper teens for our northern counties. Highs Tuesday afternoon will stay in the upper 40s with plenty of sunshine. Lows Tuesday night into Wednesday morning will be frigid in the low 20s.
Highs stay below average in the 40s through Friday. There is a LOW chance for wintry precipitation Friday night but since we are 4-5 days out, it is too early to have specific information about timing, precipitation type (snow, sleet, or freezing rain), or potential accumulations. Timing will be key and temperatures are predicted to be in the lower to middle 30s at this time when rain moves in. This will be an evolving forecast right up to the actual event Friday, so be sure to keep it here and check back for updates everyday this week!
