FIRST ALERT TODAY, Severe Storms Possible, Rain Heavy Times, Cooler Week Ahead.
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - A FIRST ALERT remains in effect today for the risk of flash flood and a few strong to severe thunderstorms. A tornado watch has been issued for our counties south of I-20 until 6pm.
The Weather Prediction Center has placed the Augusta area in its marginal risk (5%) of excessive rainfall, while the Storm Prediction has also included the CSRA in its Marginal category (Level 1 of 5) for severe thunderstorms capable of damaging wind from late tonight through the day Monday. Up to 1 to 2″ of rain is likely between midnight Sunday night and Monday evening, making localized flooding possible in flood-prone areas.
The main window of strong storms looks to be for mid-morning Monday. An isolated tornado is also possible throughout Monday morning.
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.
