The wet weather is also making its way northeast towards Atlanta. In contrast, areas farther east, including Charlotte and Savannah, are currently experiencing clearer conditions with minimal cloud cover.

As we move down to Miami and Tampa, clear skies dominate, offering pleasant weather for these coastal cities.

Tomorrow in the Southeast, we can expect some significantly warm temperatures across the region, well above the seasonal averages for this time of year. Atlanta is projected to reach a high of 86 degrees, while Montgomery will come in at a steamy 88 degrees. Jackson is not far behind, with a high of 84 degrees expected. In contrast, Nashville will also see warm readings, hitting around 75 degrees.

Over at the Atlantic coast, Savannah will reflect a pleasant high of 82 degrees, while Miami is set to reach 82 degrees as well. These temperatures are indicative of a warm front that’s been settling over the Southeast, bringing with it humid conditions and stable high-pressure systems that are pushing temperatures upward across the board.
In the Southeast tomorrow, a robust weather system is set to impact the region, bringing diverse conditions over the next 24 to 48 hours. A significant cold front is moving across the area, starting in Texas and pushing eastward into Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. This will elevate the risk for strong thunderstorms, particularly during the afternoon and evening, stretching from Houston to Jackson. As this front approaches, expect widespread rain and the possibility of isolated severe storms. Look out for potential flooding, particularly in areas already saturated with water. Thunderstorms will transition into Georgia by early morning Thursday, affecting the Atlanta commute. With the frontal passage, temperatures will drop slightly, bringing cooler and drier air behind the system. Be prepared for severe weather advisories, especially near New Orleans and Memphis.
