Notes from The First Alert Weather Team:
- Pre-sunrise conditions are mild with a few showers in SE GA and a few storms approaching our southwestern counties from the Tampa Bay region.
- Shower and storm activity will gradually increase in coverage and intensity across our local area throughout the day.
- By the early afternoon, fairly widespread coverage of rain is expected, with some embedded thunderstorms.
- Storms will produce very heavy rain today (beneficial for pollen and brushfire risk), but could cause some localized flooding in typical spots.
- Average rain amounts of 1-2″ are expected today.
- An isolated strong or severe storm can’t be ruled out today, but overall, the threat of significant severe weather is low.
- Rain will taper off after sunset and we will stay mild tonight.
- Another threat for storms arrives late Monday with a cold front approaching the area. The storms ahead of this front will be weakening as they cross through our local region, but a few storms may be severe, particularly across SE GA. Much of the day Monday will be dry and very warm.
- Near record-high temperatures will carry us through the remainder of the week.
