Daily forecast | From First Alert Meteorologist Chris Still
Near record highs through the weekend. FIRST ALERT for possible heavy rain Sunday - Monday.
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - Near record high temperatures are expected to continue Saturday and Sunday. Widespread and possibly heavy rain with isolated severe thunderstorms are possible Sunday night into Monday as a cold front moves through the region. A FIRST ALERT has been issued for Sunday evening into early Monday for the risk of severe storms and flood risk.
Friday and Saturday will be warm with highs close to 90°. Isolated showers and storms will be possible Friday afternoon/evening. Looking dry Saturday with partly cloudy skies. Morning lows will also be well above average for this time of year in the mid-60s. Patchy dense fog will be possible near sunrise.
A cold front will bring the risk for scattered thunderstorms Sunday evening into early Monday. Severe weather chances look low right now, but it is a threat we are monitoring and have issued an early FIRST ALERT. Flooding looks to be the main threat but a strong thunderstorm or two are still possible. An isolated stray shower could arrive as soon as Sunday afternoon, but the best bet for rain by far is Sunday night lasting through most of the day Monday.
Up to 1 to 2″ of rain is likely between Sunday and Monday. Localized flooding will be possible for flood prone areas. Behind the front, much cooler air moves in for the majority of next week. Morning lows in the upper 30s are possible Wednesday and Thursday morning next week. As of now, it does not look like there will be any frost concerns for your spring garden, but you will want to monitor the forecast for changes.
