Across the Southeast, the radar reveals active weather patterns, particularly near Jacksonville and along the Florida coastline, where rain showers are quite prominent. Scattered storms are also developing close to Savannah, moving northeastward, potentially bringing rain to South Carolina’s coastal areas. Houston and New Orleans are experiencing clearer conditions at the moment, benefiting from a break in precipitation. Meanwhile, inland regions such as Memphis and Atlanta are enjoying a respite with relatively clear skies. Stay prepared as weather can quickly change with systems moving across the region.
Expect a cloudy morning in Atlanta tomorrow with temperatures starting at 65 degrees at 7 AM and gradually rising to 72 degrees by 11 AM. Winds will be coming from the southeast at 5 to 6 miles per hour throughout the morning.
High temperatures in the Southeast for tomorrow are looking warm, with several cities experiencing readings above average. Atlanta is expected to reach 80 degrees, while Nashville will see a high of 87 degrees. New Orleans and Jackson are both warming up to 88 degrees, making for a notably hot day in those areas. Montgomery follows closely with a high of 88, and further east, Tampa will warm up to 87 degrees. Miami will also enjoy a comfortable 80 degrees as a warm weather pattern continues to dominate the region.
Storms are moving into the Southeast from Texas and Louisiana, bringing rain showers and possible thunderstorms to areas like Jackson and New Orleans. By late Tuesday, the system will approach Atlanta, increasing the chance of localized flooding due to heavy downpours. The Carolinas will see scattered showers, with more persistent rain expected along the coastal regions by midweek. A cooler, drier air mass follows the front, leading to cooler temperatures and clearer skies into Thursday. Stay alert for any potential weather advisories, especially in areas prone to flooding.
