A line of active storms stretches from Houston to northern Louisiana, bringing heavy rain and potential severe weather. The radar indicates showers extending westward from New Orleans towards Alabama. In the Carolinas, cloud cover is building, with rain skirting the coast and approaching Charlotte. Elsewhere, much of Georgia and northern Florida are experiencing clear skies, making it ideal for outdoor activities today.
Morning in Atlanta starts at a warm 72 degrees with early showers at 8 a.m. Expect mostly cloudy skies by 10 a.m., as temperatures climb to 77 degrees with a southeast wind at 4 miles per hour. By midday, temperatures rise further to 81 degrees under cloudy skies, with the wind shifting slightly south at about 5 miles per hour.
Tomorrow in Atlanta, expect a high of 86 degrees. Charlotte will see slightly cooler conditions with a high of 86 as well. Jacksonville is heating up to 89, while Tampa is even warmer at 91 degrees. Across the Gulf Coast, New Orleans and Jackson will both hit 89 degrees. It’s shaping up to be a warm day across the Southeast, with many areas experiencing above-average temperatures fueled by a persistent high-pressure system in the region.
A wave of showers and thunderstorms will push across the Southeast tomorrow, bringing periods of heavy rain and occasional gusty winds. By early morning, the system will approach the Gulf Coast, impacting cities from New Orleans through Tallahassee with potential for localized flooding. During the day, areas like Montgomery and Atlanta should brace for scattered storms, some possibly severe with strong winds and isolated tornado warnings. Cooler air follows the frontal boundary, dropping temperatures slightly into the weekend. The East Coast from Jacksonville up to Savannah will also see rain as the system advances northeastward.
